Description

Tipton carbon fiber cleaning rods are 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 itsown. Stainless steel rods can scratch or wear barrels if they’re used carelessly – though they won’t pick up potentially damaging small abrasive particles. “Coated” rods get part ofthe job done – they keep the stainless steel shaft from damaging your barrel’s rifling, but the coating will pick up small abrasive particles, which means you’re effectively running fine gritsandpaper through your bore. Carbon fiber rods are the best of both: the carbon fiber can’t scratch your bore like stainless steel, and they won’t embed like coated rods. Plus,Carbon Fiber rods can be bent to an extreme degree and return to their original straightness. During Operation Iraqi Freedom, US military armorers called on Tipton to providecleaning rods that would clean service rifles in demanding conditions. It made sense to us: Carbon fiber is an ideal material for cleaning rods. We call these cleaning rods “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 througha bore. Available in four diameters and six lengths to fit most rifles, pistols, and shotguns. Rifle and handgun rods are threaded for 8-32 accessories, except 17 caliber and 20 caliberrods which are threaded 5-40. Shotgun rods are threaded 5/16″-27.

• Hang hole for easy storage. Also allowsfor reasonable hammer blows to cleara stubborn patch.
• Two sets of high qualitybearings that won’t bind underpressure and allows the shaft tofollow the rifling.
• Comfortable ergonomic shape. Handle remains fixed in yourhand while the shaft rotates on the bearings to follow rifling.
• Shank-throughconstruction forworking tight patches.
• Carbon fiber shaft won’tembed particles that coulddamage your rifle bore.
