Mfr. No.: CSR 14.5-16

687408648517 CSR (Compact Sectional Rods) was originally conceived to be a short and compact sectional rods for dislodging stuck cases in the chamber when mortaring the AR15/M16 fails. The USGI cleaning rods are almost perfect for the job, except they're quite long. Forward Controls Design wanted shorter rods that can be carried in packs more easily. CSR can also be used as a cleaning rod with the provided brass jag, it is not its primary function, however. CSR is a kit consists of precision machined 17-4 stainless steel, short (4.8" max length) rods with bead blasted matte finish, also included are a machined brass jag, and 17-4 stainless steel plug/ram. CSR is based on the old M16 cleaning rods, they have done away with the folding T handle to reduce bulk when stowed. CSR has the following components: a handle (4.55"), standard length rods (4.8"), short rods (3.95"), a jag for cleaning patches, and a serrated plug for clearing stuck cases. Though designed so it can be stored inside Vltor and SOPMOD stocks storage compartments (10.5 - 12.5, and 14.5 - 16 kits only, 18 - 20 kit is too bulky), they don't believe in using the AR as a suit case or storage platform, and prefer to store their batteries and small spare parts, including the CSR, in the pack. CSR can be ordered with a hand made, custom pouch, it can also be stored in a pistol magazine pouch. In case CSR is carried in the stock, we provide with a 1" elastic nylon band that keeps the rods together and from rattling inside the stock's storage compartment. CSR is available in the following configurations: 10.5 - 12.5: 1 handle, 1 standard length rod, 2 short rods, 1 ram plug and 1 jag. 14.5 - 16: 1 handle, 3 standard length rods, 1 short rods, 1 ram plug and 1 jag. 18 - 20: 1 handle, 3 standard length rods, 2 short rods, 1 ram plug and 1 jag. NOTE CSR is incompatible with USGI cleaning rods attachments (chamber brush, jag, and bore brush), as it is threaded for 8-32, we will have a 8-32 to 8-36 adapter that allows the use of USGI cleaning rods attachments.

Introducing the Compact Sectional Rod by Forward Controls Design

The CSR (Compact Sectional Rods) is designed for those who require a reliable solution for dislodging stuck cases in the chamber of AR15/M16 rifles when traditional mortaring methods fail. This innovative product offers a compact alternative to standard cleaning rods.

Product Features:

  • Constructed from precision machined 17-4 stainless steel
  • Short rods with a maximum length of 4.8 inches
  • Bead blasted matte finish for reduced glare
  • Includes a machined brass jag and a 17-4 stainless steel plug/ram
  • Eliminates the folding T handle for reduced bulk when stowed

Components:

  • 1 handle (4.55 inches)
  • Standard length rods (4.8 inches)
  • Short rods (3.95 inches)
  • Jag for cleaning patches
  • Serrated plug for clearing stuck cases

The CSR is designed to fit within the storage compartments of Vltor and SOPMOD stocks (10.5 - 12.5 and 14.5 - 16 kits only; 18 - 20 kit is too bulky). However, Forward Controls Design recommends storing the CSR along with batteries and small spare parts in a pack rather than using the AR as a suitcase or storage platform.

Custom Options:

The CSR can be ordered with a handmade, custom pouch and can also be stored in a pistol magazine pouch. For those carrying the CSR in the stock, a 1-inch elastic nylon band is included to keep the rods together and prevent rattling within the stock's storage compartment.

Available Configurations:

  • 10.5 - 12.5: 1 handle, 1 standard length rod, 2 short rods, 1 ram plug, and 1 jag.
  • 14.5 - 16: 1 handle, 3 standard length rods, 1 short rod, 1 ram plug, and 1 jag.
  • 18 - 20: 1 handle, 3 standard length rods, 2 short rods, 1 ram plug, and 1 jag.

Note: The CSR is incompatible with USGI cleaning rods attachments (chamber brush, jag, and bore brush) as it is threaded for 8-32. An 8-32 to 8-36 adapter will be available for using USGI cleaning rods attachments.
