The tough nylon coating on these rods protects the delicate rifling of high-quality match barrels without scratching or peeling like vinyl coatings. They feature a smooth-turning ball bearing handle for easy use. The kit includes an adapter for standard #8-36 male thread brushes and accessories. The J Dewey Rods jag allows for patches to be used either wrapped around or over the end, fitting securely onto the rod's male thread for efficient cleaning.
