- Flexes under stress and returns to true straightness every single time
- High-quality rotating bearings let the shaft naturally follow your rifling
- Threaded 8-32 tip accepts a wide range of standard cleaning accessories
- Lightweight yet rigid construction reduces cleaning fatigue on long sessions
- Ideal 26-inch length suits most bolt-action and semi-automatic rifle barrels

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose carbon fiber over stainless steel or coated cleaning rods?
Stainless steel rods, while durable, can scratch your bore's rifling if they contact the barrel walls — especially with grit or fouling present. Coated rods avoid scratching but can absorb and embed abrasive particles over time, turning the rod itself into a lapping tool. Carbon fiber eliminates both problems: it's harder than coatings yet gentle on metal surfaces, and its non-porous surface won't trap debris. It also has a natural flex-and-return property, meaning it bends rather than kinks and springs back perfectly straight.
What calibers and firearms is this rod compatible with?
This rod is designed for 22 through 26 caliber rifles, making it compatible with a broad range of popular platforms including .22 LR, .223 Remington/5.56 NATO, .243 Winchester, 6mm Creedmoor, .257 Roberts, .260 Remington, 6.5 Creedmoor, and .264 Winchester Magnum. The 8-32 threaded tip is the industry standard, so it works with virtually all Tipton jags, brushes, and mops, as well as most other brand accessories sharing that thread pattern.
Is a 26-inch rod long enough for my rifle barrel?
A 26-inch cleaning rod is suitable for the majority of bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles with standard barrel lengths of 16 to 26 inches. For best results, always clean from the breech end using a bore guide to keep the rod centered and protect the chamber. If your rifle has an unusually long barrel or you're cleaning from the muzzle, measure your barrel length first to ensure adequate reach without the handle contacting the crown.
