Tipton Deluxe Cleaning Rods .17-.20 Cal, 36" with Multiple Caliber Sizes and Lengths, Carbon Fiber Shaft and Hanging Hole for Cleaning, Maintenance and Gunsmithing

High quality bearings ensure no scuffing of rifling.

Functions well, handle spins with smooth action, shaft fits perfectly in 22 caliber barrel. Accepts standard thread brushes and jags. 36" length works nicely through the breech on a bolt action. Would recommend.

Works great for cleaning through the muzzle

After trying to clean on the cheap for years I moved into purchasing better rods gradually.This rod is probably the best one yet.The Carbon Fiber won't damage the barrel.The rod's very robust in strength, but it gives without the chance of bending the rod.I should use a bore guide too, but at least you don't have to worry about the roddamaging the bore, although keeping it straight in the bore is probably just as important--even with a carbon fiber rod. Trying not to go completely OCD. I fired thousands of roundsout of an M16 that was already old when I got it in the Army and cleaned it using cheap disposable rods--it fired sub moa on a good day at three hundred meters--all day at 100m. Maybe that was all the chromebore--I'm not a gunsmith.Not sure how much force it would take to break the rod--I'll try not to find out,but I wouldn't worry too much about snapping it--robust is an accurate description.The handle is robust as well, feels solid and heavy in a good way, and it spins like it'srolling on precision bearings.I'm also not sure how long the threads for the jags and brushes will last. Connectingfiber to brass or other metals is always a concern. The piece that holds the jags and brushes issolid brass--which I like. Coating similar to their coated jags might provide a slightimprovement to an already great design.My only complaint might be the lack of choices in the actual length of the rod.I didn't check other sites prior to ordering.I know I have a couple of applications for which this rod will probably be too short,but I got tired of measuring and shopping.

I had a replacement and the next day my order was at my front door. Thank you much for your fast service.

Overall this is a fantastic cleaning rod. Unfortunately I was sent a used rod that had a broken jag stuck in the end. Took me quite some time to drill/tap the broken jag out of the threads. I figured that would be easier than exchanging the rod. I have the 46" rod for my 24" barrel Tikka (46.5" OAL). It's perfect. The ball bearings in the handle are very smooth and the carbon fiber rod is slick. The one thing I would change is the bronze tip. I'll have to clear coat the bronze tip so I don't get false positives when using my copper remover. That bronze tip negates the purpose of using nickel jags. Easy fix though. I highly recommend this cleaning rod.

These are great, durable, coated rods made of good components. Hard to get excited about a cleaning rod but these are all I will use now. Highly recommend.

Use this in My CZ .17 HMR. Nice!!!
