Dewey 22-C-30, 30'' Rod W/8-32 Tpi Male & 8-32 Fem Adptr, Brass Jag

The Dewey 22-C-30 is a 30-inch cleaning rod purpose-built for .223 service rifles and most .22 caliber handguns. Unlike steel rods that can wear and pit the inside of your barrel, this coated rod uses a proprietary finish to protect against metal-to-metal contact—the kind of damage that chips away at accuracy. Whether you're running a competition AR, a hunting rifle, or working through a box of rimfire pistols, this rod gives you a way to keep your bores clean without the wear.

The rod itself is spring steel with a finish designed to stand up to repeated solvent exposure and the friction of pushing patches and brushes downrange. The 8-32 male threaded tip accepts the included brass jag for patch work, and you also get a separate 8-32 female adapter that lets you use any standard-size cleaning accessories in your kit—brushes, mops, or loops. That dual-thread approach means you're not locked into proprietary gear; you can build out your cleaning system with whatever works best for your workflow.

Thirty inches of length gives you enough rod to reach from breech to muzzle on most rifles and handguns without needing segments, so there's less chance of corrosion or wear at joints. If you shoot .223 or .22 caliber guns regularly, a quality coated rod is one of those small investments that pays off over years of shooting—less barrel erosion, easier cleaning, and confidence that you're not introducing damage every time you run the rod.

Frequently Asked Questions

What firearms can I use this cleaning rod with?

The Dewey 22-C-30 is designed for .223 service rifles and most .22 caliber handguns. Its 30-inch length suits rifles and pistols that don't require segmented rods.

Can I use my existing cleaning brushes and accessories with this rod?

Yes. The included 8-32 female adapter lets you attach any standard-size cleaning accessories—brushes, mops, or loops—beyond the included brass jag.

What's the advantage of a coated rod over a bare steel rod?

The proprietary coating prevents metal-to-metal contact between the rod and barrel rifling, eliminating the small scratches and wear that bare steel causes. Over time, this protects accuracy and extends barrel life.
