Tipton qc lacking - Tipton Deluxe 1-Piece Carbon Fiber Cleaning Rod 27 - 4

Basically a good product, would have been 5 stars if Tipton had better QC: as received threaded end would not accept any 8-32 rod-end accessories. Upon further investigation I saw that the adhesive used to secure the threaded end was in the threads. Luckily I had an 8-32 tap to chase the threads or it would have been a return.
