Overview
Built for routine cleaning of .270 caliber and larger firearms, this coated pistol rod is intended for shooters who want a straightforward maintenance tool for the bench or cleaning kit. The UltraTough Acetate Coating is designed to hold up through repeated use, while the uniform coating is presented as an advantage over sprayed-on finishes that can vary in thickness. It features a one-piece heat treated coated spring steel rod, a comfortable proprietary handle design, and a ball bearing handle assembly that lets the rod glide smoothly. A patch holder is included for added convenience during cleaning.
