Tipton Deluxe Carbon Fiber Cleaning Rod .22-.26 Cal 40"

Superior Bore Protection

Carbon fiber represents the ideal material for rifle cleaning rods. Unlike stainless steel rods that can scratch and wear barrels, or coated rods that embed abrasive particles into their coating, carbon fiber delivers the best of both worlds. The material won't damage your bore's rifling and resists particle embedding that can turn your cleaning process into fine-grit sandpaper through the barrel.

Built for Demanding Use

Developed for U.S. military armorers during Operation Iraqi Freedom, the Tipton Deluxe rod is engineered for reliability under harsh field conditions. Carbon fiber's extreme flexibility means the rod can bend significantly under pressure and return to perfect straightness—a critical advantage when cleaning rifles in demanding environments.

Precision Engineering

Key Features:

• Ergonomic handle with dual ball-bearing sets for smooth rotation
• Shank-through construction allows controlled hammer blows to clear stubborn patches
• Handle remains stationary while shaft rotates freely along rifling
• 8-32 threaded tip (standard rifle/handgun configuration)
• Hang hole for convenient storage
• 40-inch length fits most rifle applications

Practical Design

The dual ball-bearing system prevents binding under pressure, allowing the rod to follow rifling smoothly on both push and pull strokes. The comfortable, ergonomic grip keeps your hand stable while the shaft rotates independently—reducing fatigue during extended cleaning sessions and improving control over patch pressure.
