The Dewey Cleaning Rod .17 Caliber (.172) 26 In. is a cleaning rod from Dewey (Dewey part no. 2617S), made to run brushes, jags, and mops through .17 caliber (.172) bores without flexing or binding. A cleaning rod is the one piece of gear that determines whether the rest of your kit actually works right, and a rod that bows or catches threads mid-stroke can do more harm than the fouling it’s meant to remove. This one is built to run true down the bore so brushes and jags track straight instead of scraping the rifling on their way through. It’s suited to routine range maintenance as much as a full strip-down cleaning after a hunt or a long day at the range. Add the right brush and patches from our gun cleaning supplies selection and this rod covers the core of a proper bore cleaning.

Key Specifications

• Bore diameter is sized for .17 Caliber (.172), so the fit is snug against the rifling instead of the sloppy pass-through of an oversized brush or rod.
• Built for handgun bores, matching the shorter, tighter cleaning runs a handgun action calls for.
• Overall length runs 26-inch, long enough to clear the bore in a single controlled pass on the firearm it’s sized for.
