>>Carbon fibre 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.
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 of the
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 grit sandpaper
through your bore. >>Carbon
fibre rods are the best of
both: the carbon fibre can't
scratch your bore like
stainless
steel, and they won't embed
like coated rods. Plus, Carbon
Fibre rods can be bent to an
extreme degree and return to
their original straightness.
>>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 through a
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 calibre
and 20 calibre rods which are
threaded 5-40. Shotgun rods
are threaded 5/16"-27.
