Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the cleaning rod need to be free-floating?
A free-floating handle allows the rod itself to rotate independently as it follows the twist of the rifling during a cleaning stroke. This prevents the rod from binding against the bore walls, reduces wear on the rifling lands, and ensures your cleaning patch or brush makes full, even contact throughout the barrel — resulting in a more thorough clean with less risk of damage.
Will this rod work with my existing cleaning brushes and jags?
Yes. The Birchwood Casey 33-inch cleaning rod uses the standard 8-32 thread pattern common to most American-made cleaning accessories. This means it is compatible with the vast majority of .17 and .20 caliber brushes, jags, mops, and patch loops available from Birchwood Casey and other leading brands.
Is a 33-inch rod long enough for my rifle barrel?
For most .17 and .20 caliber bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles with barrels up to 26 inches, a 33-inch rod provides ample length to push a patch or brush completely through from breech to muzzle with room to spare. If you are cleaning from the muzzle end or have an unusually long barrel, verify your barrel length before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.
