Overview
Built for routine rifle maintenance, this cleaning rod is designed to work with .30 caliber barrels and help keep bore cleaning straightforward and controlled. Its proprietary alloy ferrule is intended to avoid false copper fouling readings, while the chemically resistant coating supports use with common cleaning products. The caliber-specific steel core and cushioned ball bearing handle are made to track barrel rifling smoothly, and the ergonomic grip helps reduce the chance of contact with the rifle stock. Proof Positive jags are sold separately, so this rod is best suited for shooters who already have or plan to add compatible cleaning components.
