A gun cleaning rod is the backbone of any bench setup — it carries a brush, jag, or patch holder through the bore under steady, controlled pressure. The range covers a 7.5" brass rod with a rotating T-handle, a four-piece section set that assembles to 30" for full-length rifles, a fixed aluminum handle for shotgun work, and a standalone T-handle for swaps. Brass stays softer than barrel steel, so a rod that touches the rifling will bend before it cuts.
