Dewey 22-26 Caliber 40'' 8-36M Coated Rod

A quality cleaning rod is one of those unsexy but absolutely essential tools in any responsible shooter's kit, and the Dewey 22-26 Caliber 40'' 8-36M Coated Rod delivers the kind of dependable performance you need to keep your rifles running clean without fear of damaging precision barrels. This 40-inch rod is built with a protective nylon coating that won't scratch delicate rifling, and unlike vinyl coatings that can degrade over time, Dewey's finish stays put and keeps working. Whether you're maintaining a match-grade barrel or a well-loved hunting rifle, the design respects the work that went into your firearm's accuracy.

The rod features a smooth-turning ball bearing handle that makes the cleaning process less of a chore and more efficient—especially on longer sessions or when you're working through multiple rifles. The 8-36M male thread accepts standard brush adapters, giving you the flexibility to use your existing brush collection or upgrade to Dewey's other accessories as your kit grows. You'll also get an extra-long Dewey jag included, which handles patches both the wrapped-around and over-the-end ways, and threads directly onto the rod for convenient, single-piece cleaning passes.

This is the straightforward gear that separates gun owners who keep their barrels truly clean from those who just go through the motions. No marketing nonsense—just a 40-inch coated rod built to protect what matters and last through years of regular use.
