The Dewey 8-32 to 12-28 Thread Adapter (Male-to-Male) is a cleaning rod thread adapter from Dewey (Dewey part no. 30A), built to connect two different thread standards without forcing or cross-threading either end. Rod, brush, jag, and mop threads vary by maker and by caliber class, and a mismatched thread is the single most common reason a shooter ends up buying a whole new brush instead of just an adapter. This one bridges that gap so existing brushes, jags, and mops stay usable instead of becoming dead stock in a cleaning box. It’s a small, inexpensive fix for a compatibility problem rather than a full replacement purchase. Browse our gun cleaning supplies selection for the brushes and rods it’s meant to connect.

Key Specifications

• Threaded 8-32, the standard cleaning-rod thread pattern most brushes, jags, and mops in this size range already use.
• Cut with a male thread, so it pairs with the opposite-gender end of your existing rod or adapter instead of forcing a mismatch.

Frequently Asked Questions

What thread does this use? It’s cut with a male thread, so it mates with a standard female-threaded rod, jag, or adapter.

Can this connect two different cleaning rod brands? Yes, that’s exactly what a thread adapter like this is built for, as long as one end matches each of your existing threads.
