I’m ordering a Tipton cleaning rod for my new (on way) SP10 With 22” barrel. Since you remove the rear takedown pin and rotate barrel to expose chamber (removing BCG/charging handle) how long should the rod be? Looks like 36” and 40” are options. Thank you
 
Is your barrel 28”? Or 28” for barrel plus action length? I’m thinking with a 22” barrel plus the BCG length that’s probably 30” . So perhaps 36” rod should work?
 
The AR10 upper is a little longer than the AR15 upper, maybe 1.25".
My AR15 barrel is 28"
The 36" Tipton rod should be just long enough for a AR10 with a 28" Barrel.
Plenty long enough for anything shorter.
