COMPACT SECTIONAL ROD – COMPACT SECTIONAL RODS FOR AR15/M16, 14.5-16 CONFIGURATION

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these brass cases and reloading components factory-new or once-fired? +

We stock both premium factory-new components and high-quality once-fired brass. Please check the specific product listing title and description carefully; once-fired brass is fully inspected, but we always recommend resizing and inspecting prior to priming and powder charging.

Will this case trimmer gauge or die set work with my progressive press setup? +

Our standard reloading dies and case length trimmer accessories utilize industry-standard threads (typically 7/8"-14) compatible with major single-stage, turret, and progressive presses like RCBS, Hornady, Lee Precision, and Dillon. Caliber-specific trim gauges must match your exact brass caliber.

Do you enforce shipping restrictions on powder, primers, or live ammunition? +

Yes. Non-hazardous reloading equipment (dies, case length trimmers, gauges, and unprimed brass) ships via standard ground carriers with no extra fees. Any orders containing smokeless powders or primers will incur standard federal HazMat handling fees and cannot be shipped via air transportation.

How can I track my shipment to ensure delivery safety? +

Precision reloading gear is valuable, so all orders are shipped with tracking enabled. As soon as your package is dispatched from our inventory warehouse, a tracking number will be emailed to you. You can monitor your shipment directly on our Track Order page using your unique Order ID.

Can I return precision measuring tools or die components if they don’t fit? +

We accept returns on unused, unaltered tools, case preparation equipment, and unopened component boxes within 30 days of item delivery. Due to safety and strict quality control on the reloading bench, we absolutely cannot accept returns on opened packs of primers, smokeless powder, or processed brass casings.
