Tapco TAP22078 Double Coated Rifle Rod 22 Cal-6.5mm AR Platform 36"
$72.99
The Tapco TAP22078 double coated rifle rod is a 36-inch cleaning rod built to handle AR platform rifles chambered in calibers from .22 through 6.5mm. If you're running an AR in .223/5.56, .243, .308, or any intermediate caliber in that range, this rod gives you a single tool that covers most of your bolt-gun lineup. The double coating protects both the rod and your barrel, reducing wear and friction during the cleaning process—a detail that matters when you're running quality rifles and want them to stay that way.
Designed specifically for AR platform dimensions and tolerances, this rod works with standard AR cleaning kit components and fits in your range bag or cleaning kit without eating up space. Whether you're doing a post-hunt deep clean, maintaining zero between competitions, or just keeping your rifles in fighting shape, having the right rod for your caliber range simplifies the job and extends the life of your barrels.
Tapco has been making shooter-friendly gear for decades, and their cleaning rods hold up to regular use without the premium price tag. This is the kind of workhorse component that lives in your cleaning kit and gets the job done without fuss.
