The Birchwood Casey 41420 carbon fiber cleaning rod eliminates the scratching and bore damage common with traditional steel rods. This 30-inch rod handles .17 and .20 caliber firearms with precision-engineered components that protect your barrel's rifling during routine maintenance.
What Makes This Different
Carbon fiber construction provides superior strength while weighing 40% less than comparable steel rods. The non-abrasive material won't scratch or gouge barrel surfaces, even with repeated use. Standard steel rods can create microscopic scratches that accumulate over time, affecting accuracy and barrel life.
Key Features
- Carbon fiber construction prevents barrel scratching and rifling damage
- 30-inch length accommodates most rifle barrels in .17 and .20 calibers
