Dewey .22-.26 Cal. 40'' Rod

The Dewey .22-.26 Cal. 40'' Rod is a precision cleaning rod built for rimfire and small-caliber centerfire shooters who demand accuracy in their bore maintenance. At 40 inches, it provides the reach and control you need for thorough, end-to-end cleaning without fumbling with extension segments. Whether you're breaking in a new .22 rifle, maintaining a varmint gun, or keeping a precision .25 ACP in fighting trim, this rod delivers the quality Dewey is known for—without the downsides of traditional brass components.

The key advantage here is what Dewey engineered into the aluminum ferrule and included jag: compatibility with ammonia-based solvents that can cause brass to leave false-positive copper stains on patches. With these aluminum components, you see honest bore condition, not misleading discoloration. The aluminum is also similar in hardness to brass, so it won't scratch or damage your bore or muzzle during normal cleaning use. It's a small detail that separates gear that lasts from gear that causes headaches down the road.

The rod itself features Dewey's signature nylon outer coating and ball-bearing smooth rotating handle—the same construction you'll find in their standard rods. The 8-32 female threaded aluminum ferrule accepts standard Dewey brush and jag adapters, so your existing cleaning kit components will work seamlessly. Each rod ships with an aluminum Copper Eliminator jag, so you can start cleaning right out of the box. Built for shooters who care about both the cleanliness of their bore and the integrity of their bore maintenance tools.
