Carbon Fibre is well-suited to the tough tasks assigned to cleaning rods. It combines
the best features of stainless steel and coated cleaning rods, then adds valuable properties of its own.
Stainless steel rods can scratch or wear barrels if they're used carelessly - though they won't pick up potentially damaging small abrasive particles.
"Coated" rods get part of the job done - they keep the stainless steel shaft from damaging your barrel's rifling, but the coating will pick up small abrasive particles, which means you're effectively running fine-grit sandpaper through your bore.
Carbon fibre rods are the best of both: the carbon fibre can't scratch your bore like stainless steel, and they won't embed like coated rods. Plus, Carbon Fibre rods can be bent to an extreme degree and return to their original straightness.
During Operation Iraqi Freedom, US military armorers called on Tipton to provide cleaning rods that would clean service rifles in demanding conditions. It made sense to us: Carbon fibre is an ideal material for cleaning rods.
We call these cleaning rods "deluxe" because they feature an ergonomically designed handle that spins on two sets of ball bearings - the result is a cleaning rod that smoothly follows the rifling both pushing and pulling, even while under pressure. The "shank-through" construction also allows the user to apply "reasonable" hammer blows to the end of the cleaning rod to get a tight patch through a bore.
