Tipton Deluxe 36" Carbon Rod
Tipton Deluxe 36" Carbon Rod
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 wont pick up potentially damaging small abrasive particles. Coated rods get part of the job done they keep the stainless steel shaft from damaging your barrels 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 cant scratch your bore like stainless steel, and they wont embed like coated rods. Plus, Carbon Fibre rods can be bent to an extreme degree and return to their original straightness. During Operation Iraqi Freedom, US military armorers called on Tipton to provide cleaning rods that would clean service rifles in demanding conditions. It made sense to us: Carbon fibre is an ideal material for cleaning rods. 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.
- Hang hole for easy storage. Also allows for reasonable hammer blows to clear a stubborn patch
- Two sets of high quality bearings that will not bind under pressure and allows the shaft to follow the rifling
- Comfortable ergonomic shape. Handle remains fixed in your hand while the shaft rotates on the bearings to follow rifling
- Shank-through construction for working tight light patches
- Carbon fiber shaft will not embed particles that could damage your rifle bore
