Did I Just F*ck up my Rifle?

You guys use rods to clean AR bores? I just pull a snake through occasionally.

I just pull a snake dampened with CLP a couple of times through everything I shoot every time I shoot it. That is my cleaning regiment!

I generally use a cable, but yeah, I occasionally use rods.

I also change the oil in my cars and motorcycles at regular intervals, rather than see how cruddy I can run the oil before the engine seizes.

Nothing to worry about. That won't interfere with operation of the rifle.
