[QUOTE="Laelkhunter, post: 1325371, member: 38154"] I don't know of a coated sectional rod. It would be difficult to have the end of each section coated so that it would mate with the next section and the coating not be prone to chipping or flaking off. I used to carry an Army surplus M-16 rod that was in about 6 pieces. It was steel and designed to fit in the butt-stock of the M-16 rifle. It was about 5 inches long when taken apart, and came in a thin plastic pouch to keep dirt off of it. I took some electrical tape and wound it around the package to make a tight bundle so it wouldn't rattle in my pack when I was walking. It was steel, and I only planned to use it in an emergency where the hunt would be over if I couldn't clear the bore of the dirt or whatever. Fortunately I never had to use it. I think they are still available for pretty cheap, and come with a slotted tip. I had a couple small bore size cotton patches in the pouch also to dry the bore if I ever got anything in the barrel. As I stated earlier, I now use electrical tape over the muzzle, and carry the Otis for emergency bore clearing/cleaning. [/QUOTE]
