Haha and the knowledge circle continues

I dont use that ****** any more

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, brand new Howa and cleaning gear using one piece carbon fibre rod. When I push a patch through I am getting a squeak. Should I be concerned?

It depends on what is causing the actual squeak.
Rarely it may be due to a very tight dry patch in a dry bore.
The greater possibility is that the rod is bending and rubbing on the bore. So the woven carbon fibre pattern is 'playing' the barrel much as a bow plays on a fiddle. In this particular case the carbon fibre is also acting as an abrasive. Keep in mind what diamond is composed of. Eventually the damage it does will become visible.
Don't think that using a bore guide will prevent that kind of damage. It won't if you are sufficiently ham fisted.

Push a firm fitting to tight patch soaked in metho on an aluminium jag down a clean shiny bore that's yet to be anointed with oil...that sound...well it'll send shivers down your spine...!!

I have seen this suggestion before.
Just because it's carbon does not automatically mean it can cause damage. Diamonds are pure carbon with a particular form/structure. Graphite, a fantastic lubricant is also pure carbon, just different structure.
