The rod has a hole in it!!!... this is were to thread a tendon from your wounded leg.. and pull it threw the barrel, from chamber to muzzle.

When the jag is attached, it will reach all the rifling.

the cleaning kit has a brush or jag that attaches to the rod so it can go the full length.

The rod with the brush or jag attached will just make it into the chamber so it will clean the barrel. You can then insert it from the other end (keep it clean guys) and you can do a quick scrub of the chamber. So it doesn't need to be any longer than absolutely neccessary. Think communist Russia. Don't give the man anymore than he really needs.

Brush goes just into the chamber. In order to get it back it has to change direction, that usually is considered as a bad thing ?

Maybe a concern if you're shooting/cleaning a high speed low drag $5000 dollar German target rifle, but this is an SKS. It will tell you when you are done with it

Only if you try to change direction in the bore. The brush is to clean the rifling in the barrel. If you can change direction with a barrel brush while in the barrel, time for a new brush.

From what i understand this applies mostly to more modern brass or other metal brushes, with the supplied sks brushes being some sort of plastic or nylon it doesn't seem to be as much of an issue

Go ahead and try to pull out your cleaning rod, with a properly-sized bronze brush installed, when you're half-way down the bore. As you're going in one direction you're angling the bristles one way. If you decide to change direction you must bend the stiff, compressed, angled bristles completely around the other way; it's quite difficult.

Bronze (brass) is used because it's not harder than steel (chrome), so it will not scratch the barrel. You are more likely to damage the brush, or your hand in forcing it, or to ding the crown with the rod. This is the real concern.

Yep, leave that thing for the conscripts and pick up a good, long one piece rod for the workbench and a bore snake to throw in your pack for the field.
