Bore Tech Proof-Positive Bore Stix Cleaning Rod
Bore Stix are coated, one-piece cleaning rods with a calibre-specific high-strength steel core and a free-floating handle on two ball bearings, so the rod turns with the rifling and jags or brushes do not unscrew during cleaning. The replaceable Proof-Positive tip is brass-free, so it does not cause the false blue copper reading that brass tips give with copper-removing cleaners.
- Dual ball-bearing handle with colour-coded, non-slip rubber grip that also protects the stock
- High-strength steel core for minimal bow and flex, with a durable, chemical-resistant low-friction coating
- Replaceable female Proof-Positive tip – no adapters needed between jags and brushes, edge-free transition to Proof-Positive jags
- Index-dot system for determining a barrel’s twist rate
Options (working length): .17 – 36″; .22 Rimfire – 44″; .223 – 36″ or 40″; .243 – 36″ or 40″; .284 – 40″; .338 – 40″; .416 – 40″; and the 9″ Pistol Bore Stix for .22 to .45 handguns. Lengths are working length only – the handle adds 5.5″ (140 mm). Bore Tech strongly recommends a bore guide or patch guide with the rifle rods (a muzzle guard with the pistol rod); the rod must be long enough for the barrel plus the guide. Made in USA.
