Best cleaning rod guide?

[Powerstrokediesel]

For a Rem 700, specifically for an M40A3. Anyone know what brand the USMC uses for the M40A3?

The sinclair looks good. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks

My apologies for not using the search function, thanks for the information, I just emailed Mr. Lucas.

+1 for the Lucas. I have one for every bolt gun I own. They come with a closely fitted cleaning rod insert that keeps the rod from flexing around and damaging your bore (you have to specify which cleaning rod you plan to use) but you don't need an insert for each guide you use, just each cleaning rod (so I have rod inserts for a Dewey 22 cal rod and one for a 30 cal rod).

No worries. Measure the diameter of your cleaning rod. Mike will need that info.

How did I know Lucas would be mentioned. This pisses me off because I have a AI rod guide for my rifle but the Lucas fits better. He does not ship to Canada anymore due to the fucked up regulations. This is so fucked.

I have already made contact via email with Mike Lucas and have already ordered one from him. He asked me what caliber, action and brand of rod I will be using. He is making a batch up that should be ready to ship in the beginning of January 2011.

Thanks for the good info.

My builder S&S precision in Dallas, would not let me leave his shop without a Lucas. I previously had a Dewey bore guide and he swore up and down to dump it and go with the lucas. I trusted his judgement and it works great. Its worth every penny for the protection it affords the throat of your barrel.
