1-PIECE COATED RIFLE CLEANING RODS Reviews & Ratings

One piece, coated spring steel cleaning rods push a brush or jag through the toughest fouling without bending. Dirt and grit won’t cling to the proprietary, nonembedding coating for extra protection of your prized rifle’s bore. The machined aluminum handle is slim enough to avoid contact with the stock when cleaning from the breech, while still comfortable and easy-to-grasp for excellent control. Bearings at each end of the handle let the rod rotate smoothly to keep the jag or brush fully in contact with the rifling. Color-coded handles help you make sure you pick up the correct-caliber rod. Each rod has a soft aluminum ferrule at the threaded end to help protect the breech or muzzle from damage.

SPECS: Rod – Stainless steel, nylon coated. Handle – Aluminum, anodized. Caliber-fits, lengths, and thread-patterns listed below. All are female threads .17-20 5-40 all others are 8-32.

Handle is great, coating OK, gap with any other tip is bad

Shooters elbow was getting worse from running JB thru dirty bores so ordered a pair of Montana rods, the handle design is superior for pushing & pulling. The coating isn't slick, it has an old school frying pan wrinkled nonstick texture to it but wipes clean so far. Unfortunately after 30 years I have a drawer full of ProShot and Dewey tips with 8x32 threads... about 10 threads on each tip. The Montana rods have very short threaded sockets, maybe 7 or 8 threads, so none of my existing tips will screw in far enough to shoulder... the gap is going to be a problem on the crown unless I unscrew the tip after each one-way pass... only thing I can think of is to grind some existing tips down 2 threads, since I didn't order Montana jags which *presumably* have shorter threads. For the price of these rods, pretty disappointed they're not compatible with any other brand's tips. And yes I have plenty of jags, the slotted tip was the last one I test-fit for the pic... none of the PS or Dewey tips will shoulder.

Not cheap but seems sturdy

I use this to clean my 5.56mm Daniel Defense. I had another cleaning kit where the rod broke off halfway through plunging the bore and left the brush stranded. After that I decided to pay for some quality metal that won't break with light force placed upon this. I have to agree with another reviewer that I think the price is a little over the top on this unit, but I am happy with it so far. Would purchase again if required.
