Thanks laytonj1,

I've seen the rods you mentioned, but have never really looked into what they were composed of. I've got an old stainless steel, Parker Hale rod I've used forever, and I was just thinking of making a segmented, packable cleaning rod for in the field (daypack friendly) for a 45/70, and was just thinking about making one from old, broken carbon fiber arrow shafts that I keep for whatever use they might have. Maybe a portable cleaning rod...just might give it a go.

Thanks for the info,

reinert
