It combinesthe best features of stainless steel and coated cleaning rods,then adds valuable properties of its own.  Stainless steel rods can scratch or wear barrels if they're used  carelessly - though they won't pick up potentially damaging small  abrasive particles.  \"Coated\" rods get part of the job done - they keep the stainless  steel shaft from damaging your barrel's rifling, but the coating will  pick up small abrasive particles, which means you're effectively running  fine-grit sandpaper through your bore.  Carbon  fiber rods are the best of both: the carbon fiber can't scratch your  bore like stainless steel, and they won't embed like coated rods. Plus,  Carbon Fiber rods can be bent to an extreme degree and return to their  original straightness. During Operation Iraqi Freedom, US military armorers  called on Tipton to provide cleaning rods that would clean service  rifles in demanding conditions. It made sense to us: Carbon fiber is an  ideal material for cleaning rods. We call these cleaning rods \"deluxe\" because they  feature an ergonomically designed handle that spins on two sets of ball  bearings - the result is a cleaning rod that smoothly follows the  rifling both pushing and pulling, even while under pressure. The  \"shank-through\" construction also allows the user to apply \"reasonable\"  hammer blows to the end of the cleaning rod to get a tight patch through  a bore.Extremely bright green laser fully functional for daytime use, highly intimidating for night time use. The Viridian MP not only has a perfect functional and aesthetic fit to your Smith \u0026amp; Wesson, it is actually made out of the same glass-filled Zytel material, an extremely robust, high tensile strength polymer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tipton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":5599654412315,"sku":"635","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2469\/0079\/products\/media_c24e6ff0-673e-4d4e-9d5e-d6655fe670e9.jpg?v=1514994491","url":"https:\/\/brandtheme.myshopify.com\/products\/tipton-cleaning-rod-17-20-caliber-36-inches","provider":"brandtheme","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
