KleenBore SAF-T-CLAD 33" Rifle Cleaning Rod .22-.45 Cal with Swivel Handle

Proper bore cleaning is non-negotiable for accuracy and rifle longevity, and the KleenBore SAF-T-CLAD 33" rifle cleaning rod gives you a purpose-built tool that protects your rifling while you work. This .22-.45 caliber rod combines solid steel construction with a specialized thermal-set resin coating—KleenBore's proprietary SAF-T-CLAD finish—that creates an exceptionally smooth surface. That matters: a rough or uncoated rod can micro-abrade bore walls over time, degrading the precision you spent money building. Whether you're a competitive shooter who cleans after every session or a hunter maintaining your rifle between seasons, this rod delivers the protection your barrel deserves.

The 33" working length handles most rifle-length applications, and the swivel handle design lets you rotate the rod smoothly without binding or applying lateral pressure to the bore. A muzzle guard protects your front sight and crown during rod entry and exit—a small feature that prevents expensive damage. The included red-coated steel patch holder is color-coded for easy identification and built to last. Everything about this rod is engineered for the shooter who understands that cleaning isn't just maintenance; it's part of precision shooting protocol.

Made in the USA, the KleenBore SAF-T-CLAD represents old-school manufacturing discipline applied to a simple, essential tool. If you're tired of flimsy plastic-handled rods and cheap coatings that chip away, this one's built for serious use across a wide caliber range.
