The Pro-Shot .177 Air Rifle/Pistol and .17 Cal. Multi Section Rod Cleaning Kit (Model: 17-KIT) is a specialised maintenance system engineered for .177 calibre (4.5 mm) airguns and .17 calibre rimfire or centrearm firearms. Constructed with heat-treated, micro-polished stainless steel, the modular rod sections assemble to provide a total working length of 32.5 inches (82.5 cm). Designed specifically to navigate tight bore tolerances without binding, the kit uses standard #5-40 threading and features a full-size ergonomic swivel handle that rotates smoothly with the barrel rifling to remove lead fouling and maintain accuracy.

Key Features

• Modular Stainless Steel Rods: Five 6.5-inch (16.5 cm) micro-polished sections assemble up to a 32.5-inch (82.5 cm) working length or break down for compact carry.
• Bore-Safe Swivel Handle: Full-size ergonomic handle rotates freely during the stroke cycle to follow the rifling twist without unscrewing attachments.
• Dedicated Small-Bore Threading: Uses industry-standard #5-40 thread connections sized specifically to avoid internal contact and binding inside .17 bore walls.
• Comprehensive Inclusions: Includes .177 / .17 cal bore brushes (rifle and pistol lengths), a solid brass spear-tip jag, a brass slotted patch holder, a double-ended nylon utility brush, 100% cotton flannel patches, airgun seal–safe BIO4X bore cleaner and lubricant, and a silicone gun cloth.
• Manual Field Operation: Non-powered, fully mechanical design engineered for range bag pack carry and field use across temperatures ranging from -10°C to 50°C.

Who is the Proshot .177 Air Rifle/Pistol Kit for?

• Precision .177 air rifle target competitors — requires modular micro-polished rods providing up to 32.5 inches (82.5 cm) of working length to thoroughly clear lead fouling across full-length match barrels with this .17 calibre cleaning kit.
• Smallbore .17 HMR and .17 Hornet pest controllers — requires dedicated #5-40 standard threading and undersized .17 calibre brass hardware to prevent bore binding during field cleaning routines.
• 4.5 mm air pistol sport shooters — utilizes single or paired 6.5-inch (16.5 cm) sections from the Proshot .177 Air Rifle/Pistol Kit to maintain short handgun barrels without handling excess rod length.

Less suitable for: Barrels exceeding 32.5 inches (82.5 cm) in length, which require a long single-piece bench rod or universal pull-through cable; or calibres from .22 (5.5 mm) through 12-gauge, which require a larger #8-32 or 5/16-27 thread-compatible cleaning system.
