Hey all. I got my new .308 today, and for the first time, used a cleaning rod and patches to clean the bore instead of a bore snake. I also have the Sinclair bore guide. I'm using a Tipton Carbon Fiber Cleaning Rod, Bore Tech Proof Positive Rifle Jag .30 cal and Gunslick patches.
The first few passes were fine, but then it started making a screeching noise while I was pushing the patch down the barrel? I noticed the jag seemed to start to unscrew from the pass down the barrel, but am also unsure why? The rod handle twists, and I don't think I'm somehow twisting/turning the rod because of it...
I guess, WTF is wrong here? I looked down the barrel of the rifle from the chamber end with a very bright LED light at the muzzle, and it looks fine? I can't see the top of the barrel though.
