Dewey 20 Cal 25'' Cleaning Rod - Stainless
The Dewey 20 Cal 25'' Cleaning Rod in stainless steel is purpose-built for shooters who run .20 caliber centerfire rifles or .22 rimfire firearms and demand a cleaning tool that won't let them down. Whether you're maintaining a precision .20 caliber match rifle, a rimfire plinker, or hunting rifle, this stainless steel cleaning rod delivers the durability and precision that has made Dewey the choice of serious competitors across all shooting disciplines. At 25 inches in length (excluding the handle), it's sized right for efficient barrel cleaning without unnecessary bulk in your kit.
Built from hardened, polished stainless steel and left uncoated to preserve the material's natural corrosion resistance, this rod is female threaded for compatibility with standard cleaning tool adapters. The rod arrives ready to work—Dewey includes a .20 caliber jag that handles both .20 centerfire and .22 rimfire ammunition, so you can transition between firearm types without swapping components. That's the kind of practical thinking that separates purpose-designed gear from generic afterthoughts.
Stainless steel construction means you get long-term reliability whether you're cleaning in the field, at the range, or in the shop. The hardened, polished finish resists wear from repeated passes through the bore and won't degrade your barrel's interior when used with proper technique and cleaning solvents. If you shoot rimfire or smaller centerfire cartridges and refuse to compromise on cleaning quality, this is the rod that belongs in your maintenance rotation.

What threading does this rod use?
This stainless steel rod features female threading, which is standard for cleaning rod adapters and brushes in typical gun cleaning kits.
Does the 25-inch length include the handle?
No. The 25-inch measurement is the rod length only; the handle is sold separately and is not included with this rod.
Why is this rod uncoated when other Dewey rods are coated?
