Boresnakes and such work well in field conditions when you need to remove the largest debris from the barrel. However, for proper firearm maintenance, you need more than that – such as the right chemicals and solid cleaning rods. Here’s a simple and affordable aluminum cleaning rod from Hoppe's for all calibers from .22 and up!
The cleaning rod is assembled by screwing together three parts. The T-handle has a ball bearing swivel, so the rod follows the rifling as it is pushed – this means a better cleaning result.
The length of the cleaning rod is 82.5 cm / 32.5" and the overall length with the handle is 87.5 cm / 34.5". When disassembled, the rod bundle measures approximately 32 cm / 12.5" in length. This set includes two nylon rod ends (.22 & .30 cal) with slots for cleaning patches.
