The Tipton DLX Shotgun Carbon Cleaning Rod (brand part no. 713415R) gives 12 gauge shooters the best of both worlds: carbon fiber that can’t scratch a bore the way stainless can, and a one-piece build that won’t embed fouling the way a coated rod eventually does. The rod flexes under pressure and returns to true straightness, while an ergonomic handle spinning on two sets of ball bearings lets it follow the rifling smoothly on both the push and the pull.

Key Specifications
