As a previous poster said, cleaning rods are fine and a guide is fine too but not necessary if you're careful. I've been cleaning my guns this way for years and years.

But if you want to do breech to muzzle cleaning there are now LOTS of options for you. Here's just one.

A buddy had a similar one from Remington and it worked fine but not with .22LR guns because the .22 brush was too long to make the bend into the chamber...quick solution would have been to snip the brush (or maybe we were doing something wrong) but the system worked fine for all his other guns.
