Bore Tech 22 Caliber 36'' Cleaning Rod

A quality cleaning rod is foundational to keeping your .22 rifle shooting straight and accurate, and the Bore Tech 22 Caliber 36'' Cleaning Rod is built to handle that job without guesswork or damage. This rod features a proprietary alloy ferrule that eliminates false copper fouling readings—a common headache that leads shooters down rabbit holes chasing problems that don't exist. The cushioned ball bearing handle is designed to track your barrel's rifling naturally while protecting your stock from dings and scratches during the cleaning process.

What sets this rod apart is the combination of engineering details. The steel core is caliber-specific, so you're getting the right stiffness and thread pattern for a .22 without compromise. The advanced coating resists wear and prevents debris from embedding into the rod itself, which means it'll keep performing cleanly for years. The female-ended ferrule is machined smooth with no sharp edges—a detail that makes a real difference when you're running patches and jags repeatedly. And since this rod uses 8-32 threads (standard for .22), it pairs directly with compatible jags without adapters.

At 36 inches, this rod is long enough to handle most .22 barrels from breech to muzzle in one pass. Whether you're maintaining a hunting rifle, a precision .22 for range work, or a rimfire you shoot regularly, this rod gives you the confidence that your barrel is genuinely clean—not fooled by false readings—and that your gun stays in the shape you want it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between this Bore Tech rod and a standard brass rod?

The proprietary alloy ferrule won't give false copper readings like brass can, so you'll know exactly when your bore is actually clean instead of chasing phantom fouling. The advanced coating also resists wear and debris embedding better than traditional materials, which means longer service life and more reliable cleaning sessions.

Do I need to buy jags separately?

Yes, Proof Positive jags are sold separately. The female-ended ferrule on this rod is machined to accept compatible jags without adapters.

Will this rod fit my .22 rifle without hitting the stock?

The 36-inch length accommodates most .22 barrels from breech to muzzle in a single pass. The cushioned handle and stock-safe design protect your rifle during use, but we'd recommend verifying your specific barrel length if you have an unusually short or long setup.

What thread size does this rod use?

This .22 cleaning rod uses 8-32 threads, which is the standard for .22 caliber and most larger calibers. Make sure your jags and accessories are also 8-32 threaded.
