The Kleenbore Aluminum Cleaning Rod 34" (OP108) is a dedicated, heavy-duty maintenance tool designed specifically for smoothbore shotguns. Built from aircraft-grade aluminum with a thick 3/8-inch shaft profile, this one-piece rod eliminates the joint flex, bending, and thread-binding associated with multi-piece sectional rods. Measuring 34 inches in working length, it provides the rigid mechanical leverage needed to scrub out plastic wad fouling, lead deposits, and powder residue across bores ranging from .410 bore up to 10 gauge.

Key Features

• One-Piece Aluminum Shaft: Heavy-duty 3/8-inch diameter construction provides rigid strength to clear stubborn fouling without bowing or buckling inside the barrel.
• Fixed Sure-Grip T-Handle: Synthetic, non-rotating handle design provides positive mechanical grip and direct manual torque when pushing tight patches, brushes, or mops through smoothbores.
• Wide Gauge Compatibility: Cleans shotgun bores from .410 bore up to 10 gauge.
• Included Accessories: Supplied with an all-gauge nylon slotted patch holder and packaged in a clear, reusable storage tube.

Who is the Kleenbore Aluminum Cleaning Rod 34" for?

• Australian clay target shooters — requires a rigid 34-inch one-piece shotgun cleaning rod to scrub out heavy plastic wad residue and lead buildup from competitive 12-gauge barrels up to 34 inches long without rod flex.
• Waterfowl hunters — relies on the corrosion-resistant aircraft-grade aluminum construction and thick 3/8-inch shaft diameter of this shotgun rod to swab and dry 10-gauge and 12-gauge bores after wet days in the field.
• Primary producers maintaining working shotguns — needs a durable, non-segmented cleaning rod capable of servicing utility firearms across the full bore range from .410 bore up to 12 gauge without stripping delicate multi-piece rod threads.

Less suitable for: Shotgun barrels exceeding 34 inches in length (which require extended-length cleaning rods), rifled shotgun barrels where brushes must track spiral rifling grooves (which require a bearing-mounted swivel rod), or rifle and pistol bores from .17 to .30+ calibre that cannot accept a 3/8-inch diameter shaft (which require calibre-specific .17, .22, or .30 calibre rods).
