A one-piece rod (rod only) for cleaning .22 calibre handguns. A one-piece rod has no joints that can loosen or scratch the bore, and this one is sold as the rod only, so use your own handle or the handle from an existing kit. Use it after shooting to push patches, brushes and mops through the bore and remove powder fouling, lead and copper, which keeps the handgun reliable and protects it from corrosion. The rod takes standard threaded cleaning accessories; make sure the brush or jag you use matches .22 and the rod's thread. Always check that the firearm is unloaded before cleaning. The supplier does not list the rod's length, material or thread size, so check the pack.
