$65.99
The Tapco TAP22077 double coated rifle rod is a dedicated cleaning tool built for AR platform rifles chambered in calibers from .22 through 6.5mm. At 30 inches long, this rod reaches the full length of modern intermediate cartridge barrels, making it ideal for thorough bore cleaning without breaking it down into segments. The double coating protects both your barrel and the rod itself—critical for maintaining accuracy and extending the life of your rifle.
Whether you're running a .223/5.56 NATO, 6mm, or 6.5mm Grendel upper, this rod fits the AR platform's standard cleaning rod compatibility. The double-coated finish resists wear, corrosion, and marring that can scratch delicate bore surfaces if left unchecked. Regular, proper bore maintenance is non-negotiable for shooters who demand consistent accuracy and reliable function.
Tapco's approach here is straightforward: a no-frills cleaning rod that does one job well. It's the kind of tool that belongs in every serious shooter's range bag or cleaning kit—whether you're zeroing at the range, maintaining a duty rifle, or keeping a hunting AR in top condition. Pair it with quality brushes, patches, and solvents for a complete cleaning system.
