Dewey .17 Cal Nylon-Coated Cleaning Rod, 36in

The Dewey .17 Cal Nylon-Coated Cleaning Rod (brand part no. 17C-36) is built specifically for .17 caliber rifles, with a nylon coating that will not peel or pick up abrasives of any kind the way a bare steel rod can over time. It measures 36″ overall, a single-piece rod rather than a sectioned design, and uses a 5/40 female thread with an overall diameter of approximately .160 inches to match .17 caliber bore dimensions closely. A dual-track ball bearing handle lets the rod spin freely with the rifling instead of scrubbing against it, reducing the risk of wear at the crown, and it ships with a 17JM jag ready to use out of the box. It is purpose-built for .17 caliber shooters rather than a general-purpose rod pressed into service on a smaller bore from Dewey.
