Bore Tech .22 Cal. 36''

The Bore Tech .22 Cal. 36'' cleaning rod is built for shooters who want a reliable, repeatable way to maintain rifles from breech to muzzle. Designed specifically for .22 caliber firearms, this 36-inch rod combines a spring steel construction with a full-length epoxy coating that stands up to solvents and bore cleaners without degradation. Whether you're breaking in a new .22 rifle, running regular maintenance, or preparing for an accuracy session at the range, this rod gives you the straightforward, no-nonsense tool that serious shooters depend on.

What sets this cleaning rod apart is the engineering in the handle. Inside, 22 ball bearings allow the rod to rotate freely and smoothly as you work it through the bore—that effortless spin means your patch tracks the rifling consistently, reducing the chance of catching a corner or binding. A more efficient clean translates to less frustration and faster prep time before you head to the range or field. The rod also features index dots along the handle, a detail that lets you track the twist rate of your rifling and understand your barrel's characteristics over time.

The epoxy-coated spring steel construction means this rod won't corrode, pit, or absorb solvents the way bare steel can. It's built to last through dozens of cleaning sessions without needing replacement, making it a solid one-time investment for any .22 shooter who cleans their own rifle.

Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What .22 rifles will this cleaning rod fit?

This rod is designed for standard .22 caliber rifles. The 36-inch length and .22 bore diameter make it compatible with typical .22 rimfire and centerfire rifles, though you should verify bore diameter if you own an uncommon wildcat or specialized build.

Is the epoxy coating really resistant to gun solvents?

Yes. The full-length epoxy coating is formulated to be impervious to standard bore cleaners and solvents, so it won't degrade, flake, or absorb chemicals the way uncoated steel can over repeated use.

What do the index dots on the handle do?

The index dots let you mark and reference the twist rate of your rifling. By noting where the rod enters and tracking the dots, you can identify and remember your barrel's rifling characteristics for future cleaning sessions or troubleshooting.

How does the ball bearing handle improve cleaning?

The 22 ball bearings allow the rod to spin freely and smoothly as you push and pull it through the bore. This effortless rotation helps your patch follow the rifling without catching, binding, or scrubbing unevenly, resulting in more consistent and efficient cleaning.
