The KleenBore KDS556/9 Dual System Cleaning Kit delivers comprehensive maintenance for 5.56/.223 and .22 caliber firearms through its innovative dual-rod and rope pull-through design. This versatile kit eliminates the need for multiple cleaning systems by combining traditional rod cleaning with modern pull-through technology in one compact package.
What Makes This Different
Unlike single-method cleaning kits, the KDS556/9 features both segmented cleaning rods and flexible rope pull-throughs for maximum versatility. The dual-system approach allows users to choose the optimal cleaning method based on barrel condition, available time, and field constraints. This comprehensive design reduces cleaning time by up to 40% compared to traditional rod-only systems while providing superior bore protection.
Key Features
- Dual cleaning system with segmented rods and rope pull-through technology
- Multi-caliber compatibility: 5.56mm NATO, .223 Remington, and .22 caliber rifles
- Segmented aluminum cleaning rods with protective coating prevent bore damage
- Flexible rope pull-through system for quick field cleaning
- Complete brush and patch selection for thorough carbon and fouling removal
- Compact storage case organizes all components for transport

The rope pull-through system excels in field conditions where traditional rods prove cumbersome, while the segmented rod system handles stubborn fouling that requires aggressive scrubbing action. Competition shooters benefit from the quick rope cleaning between strings of fire, while precision rifle users rely on the thorough rod system for deep cleaning sessions. The kit's weather-resistant components maintain functionality in humid conditions and temperature extremes.
