The KleenBore .22–.45 Rifle 1-Piece Saf-T-Clad Coated Cleaning Rod provides safe, rigid bore maintenance for standard sporting and target rifle barrels. Engineered with a 33-inch working length, this single-piece solid steel rod eliminates joint flexion and rough seams that can catch on internal barrel surfaces. Its proprietary red Saf-T-Clad thermo-set coating prevents metal-on-metal contact to protect delicate rifling lands and muzzle crowns during routine carbon and fouling removal. A free-spinning polymer swivel handle allows attached brushes, jags, and patches to smoothly follow the barrel's rifling twist without binding or unthreading accessories.

Key Features

• Protective Saf-T-Clad Coating: Thermoset polymer barrier fully encapsulates the steel core, preventing rifling wear and crown damage.
• Single-Piece Solid Steel Core: Resists flexing under pushing pressure, ensuring consistent alignment without the joint wear of multi-piece designs.

Who is the Kleenbore .22-.45 Rifle 1-Piece Saf-T-Clad Coated Cleaning Rod for?

• Target shooters maintaining .22 to .45 calibre rifles at a workbench — requires rigid, bore-safe maintenance across calibres from .22 calibre to .45 calibre, utilizing this single-piece rifle cleaning rod's coated steel core to eliminate barrel wear during benchtop cleaning.
• Hunters cleaning sporting rifles with barrel lengths under 28 inches — provides a dedicated 33 inches working length that easily clears standard 16-inch to 26-inch hunting barrels when pushing cleaning patches and brushes through the bore.

Less suitable for: Small-bore rifles under .22 calibre (such as .17 HMR, .17 WSM, or .204 Ruger), which require dedicated .17 calibre cleaning rods, or extended target barrels exceeding 28 to 30 inches, which require a 36-inch to 44-inch extended-length cleaning rod.
