.22-.26 Cal. 36'' Rod

The Dewey .22-.26 Cal. 36'' Rod is a professional-grade rifle cleaning rod designed for shooters who demand precision maintenance of small-caliber firearms. Built for law enforcement, military, and serious civilian marksmen, this cleaning rod supports the full spectrum of popular rimfire and centerfire cartridges—from .223 Remington and .224 Valkyrie through .243 Winchester, .25 calibers, and 6.5mm variants. A quality cleaning rod is foundational to firearm longevity; without proper bore maintenance, accuracy degrades and corrosion risk increases regardless of shooting volume.

Constructed from durable aluminum, the 36-inch length provides optimal leverage and control during patch and brush passes while remaining compact enough for field kits and range bags. Dewey rods are engineered with tight tolerances to prevent binding and rod flex that can damage bore walls—a critical concern in tactical and precision applications where even microscopic scratches compound accuracy loss. The aluminum core balances rigidity with weight savings; at 0.44 pounds, it adds negligible bulk to a shooter's kit without sacrificing the structural integrity required for consistent, pressure-free cleaning cycles across all supported calibers.

Law enforcement armorers, military personnel, and competitive shooters will find this rod indispensable for maintaining rifles chambered in intermediate and small-bore cartridges. The broad caliber compatibility—spanning modern defensive rounds (.223), hunting loads (.243 Winchester, .25-06), and precision rifle calibers (6.5mm variants)—makes it a versatile addition to any multi-caliber shooting operation. Pair this rod with proper bore guides and jags matched to each caliber for optimal results; the 36-inch length accommodates standard and magnum rifle barrels without requiring multiple rod sections.
