Featuring an ergonomic dual ball-bearing handle for smooth rifling follow-through and a resilient carbon fiber shaft that resists bending and scratching, it offers unmatched durability and ease of use. Trusted by US military armorers and backed by a limited lifetime warranty, this rod elevates gun care to a premium experience. ## Description US military armorers called on Tipton to provide cleaning rods that would clean service rifles in demanding conditions. Carbon fiber is well-suited to the tough tasks assigned to cleaning rods. It combines the best features of stainless steel and coated cleaning rods, then adds valuable properties of its own. Carbon fiber can't scratch your bore like stainless steel and won't embed like coated rods. Carbon fiber rods can be bent to an extreme degree and return to their original straightness. These cleaning rods are "deluxe" because they feature an ergonomically designed handle that spins on two sets of ball bearings - the result is a cleaning rod that smoothly follows the rifling both pushing and pulling, even while under pressure. The "shank-through" construction also allows the user to apply "reasonable" hammer blows to the end of the cleaning rod to get a tight patch through a bore. Review: Excellent one‑piece cleaning rod—smooth, strong, and perfect for rifle barrels - The Tipton Deluxe Cleaning Rod is exactly what I want in a rifle cleaning rod. The single‑piece design is sturdy and straight, and the 36" length is perfect for cleaning .27–.45 caliber rifles without feeling cramped. What really stands out is the smooth ball‑bearing handle. It spins effortlessly, allowing the rod to follow the rifling naturally, which makes cleaning faster and more effective. It feels like a premium tool in every way. Tipton has always been near the top when it comes to firearm cleaning products, and this rod is another great example of why. Review: The length you need when running longer barrels - Good quality rod that works well. Smooth rotation through the barrel and brass transition is smooth and even. Longer version is GREAT for working a longer barrel. Don't ram my hand into the buttstock all the time anymore. Wish I would have known about this sooner. I'd never have bought the 36". ## Features - SPECS: .22-.26 caliber cleaning rod, 36 inches long - EASE OF USE: Smoothly follows the rifling both pushing and pulling, even while under pressure - DURABLE: Carbon Fiber rods can be bent to an extreme degree and return to their original straightness - VERSATILE: Tipton Dluxe 1-Piece Carbon Fiber Cleaning Rods are available in a variety of calibers, gauges, and lengths - CONVENIENT: Ergonomically designed handle that spins on two sets of ball bearings - GUARANTEED: This product is covered by a limited lifetime warranty provided by Tipton.
