Birchwood Casey 41430 Carbon Cleaning Rod 22-264 Cal 30 Inch

The Birchwood Casey 41430 carbon fiber cleaning rod delivers superior bore cleaning performance while eliminating the risk of barrel damage that comes with steel rods. This 30-inch cleaning rod handles calibers from .22 through .264, making it an essential tool for precision rifle maintenance.

What Makes This Different

Carbon fiber construction provides the rigidity needed for effective cleaning while remaining softer than steel barrels, preventing scratches and gouges that can affect accuracy. Unlike aluminum rods that can bend under pressure or steel rods that risk barrel damage, this carbon rod maintains straightness through repeated use. The 30-inch length accommodates most rifle barrels without requiring rod extensions that can introduce wobble and misalignment.

Key Features

• Carbon fiber construction prevents barrel damage while maintaining cleaning effectiveness
• 30-inch length handles most rifle calibers from .22 to .264 without extensions
• Standard 8-32 threading accepts most cleaning accessories and jags
• Lightweight design reduces fatigue during extended cleaning sessions
• Non-corrosive material resists chemical damage from cleaning solvents
• Smooth surface finish prevents fouling buildup on the rod itself
• Ergonomic handle provides secure grip even with wet hands

Field use demonstrates the rod's ability to push patches and brushes through heavily fouled barrels without flexing or binding. Competition shooters rely on carbon rods to maintain the precise bore conditions that accuracy demands, while hunters appreciate the rod's resistance to weather and field conditions. The carbon construction eliminates the galvanic corrosion issues that can occur when dissimilar metals contact stainless steel barrels.
