Dewey .22-.26 Cal. 36'' Rod

The Dewey .22-.26 Cal. 36'' cleaning rod is built for shooters who demand precision maintenance without the guesswork. This aluminum-component rod is engineered to work reliably with ammonia-based solvents—a key advantage over brass alternatives that can react with certain cleaners and leave misleading stains on your patches. Whether you're maintaining a rimfire, varmint rifle, or any centerfire in the .22-.26 caliber range, this rod delivers the durability and accuracy feedback you need to keep your bore genuinely clean.

What sets this Dewey rod apart is its construction philosophy. The aluminum ferrule and jag won't produce the blue-green discoloration that can masquerade as copper fouling, so you'll know for certain when your bore is actually copper-free. The rod itself features a tough nylon outer coating and a ball-bearing smooth rotating handle that makes the cleaning stroke effortless, even after hundreds of passes. The 8-32 female threaded ferrule accepts standard Dewey patches, brushes, and accessories, giving you flexibility to customize your cleaning kit.

Built to the same exacting standards as Dewey's premium steel rods, this 36-inch rod is ready for the bench, the range, or the field. It arrives ready to work—each rod includes an aluminum Copper Eliminator jag so you can start cleaning immediately. If you run ammonia-based solvents and want to eliminate false positives in your bore inspection routine, this is the rod that delivers clarity.
