I'm using a tipton 22 caliber carbon fiber cleaning rod and a Tipton 22 caliber Jag for my ar15.
I have to use very tiny cleaning patches on my ar15 or they will get stuck. The diameter of the tipton cleaning rod is almost the size of the bore.
If I use 22 caliber cleaning patches for ar15 they get stuck in the barrel. I have to use rim fire tiny cleaning patches for .17 to .20 or something for them to work in 5.56 ar15 barrel.
I can't use a smaller jag because the size below 22 caliber will not screw into my tipton cleaning rod as its smaller.
Is this normal or is something not sized correctly? Should the cleaning rod be almost the same size as the bore?
I also find I have to use smaller jags then the caliber of the barrel to use many patches or they will get stuck.
