Is there any such thing as a decent portable rifle cleaning kit?

[QUOTE="shaughn, post: 1325443"] If you can find the Swiss (I think) cleaning kit, its a segmented steel rod, but they use brass at the joins, tapered so that they will slide instead of catching, even if it did catch the softer metal shouldn't damage the throat or crown. They also have a bore guide, intended to fit over a flash hider, I presume. Another way to use segmented steel rods, is to get the rubber washers that are slightly under bore diameter and place them at the joins and help prevent the rods sections from contacting the bore. I slip a long one piece rod into my kit for cleaning and only carry the Swiss segmented rod for in field or emergency use. [/QUOTE]
