Dewey 22-Cf-6, 6-1/2'' Rod W/8-32 Tpi Fem, Brass Loop

The Dewey 22-CF-6 6-1/2" cleaning rod is built for shooters who take rifling preservation seriously. Whether you're maintaining a .223 service rifle or most .22 caliber handguns, this rod's coated design eliminates the metal-to-metal contact that can micro-scratch and degrade accuracy over time. It's the kind of unglamorous gear that pays dividends in consistency—the rod you forget about because it just works, year after year.

Built from spring steel and finished with Dewey's proprietary solvent-resistant coating, this rod stands up to aggressive cleaning sessions and repeated use without degrading. The 8-32 female threaded tip accepts all standard-size cleaning accessories, so you're not locked into a proprietary system; you can adapt it to whatever jag, brush, or patch holder you already own or prefer. A brass cleaning loop is included—that soft metal won't damage your muzzle or crown during the final passes.

At 6-1/2 inches, this rod is compact enough for fieldwork and portable cleaning kits, yet substantial enough for serious bench work. If you're the type who runs a rifle hard and cleans it properly, you'll appreciate a tool built for durability rather than cost-cutting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this rod work with my .223 AR or .22 handgun?

Yes. The Dewey 22-CF-6 is designed for cleaning .223 service rifles and most .22 caliber handguns. The 8-32 female threaded tip accepts standard cleaning accessories for both platforms.

What cleaning accessories can I use with the 8-32 female thread?

The 8-32 female threaded tip is compatible with all standard-size cleaning jags, brushes, and patch holders. You're not restricted to proprietary parts—any common cleaning accessory with an 8-32 male thread will work.

Why does the coating matter?

The proprietary coating prevents the rod itself from contact with the inside of your bore. Bare steel can micro-scratch rifling over many cleaning cycles, degrading accuracy. The coating also resists solvents and abrasion, so the rod maintains its integrity through years of use.

What's included in the box?

The rod comes with a brass cleaning loop. Additional cleaning accessories (jags, brushes, patches) are sold separately.
