Packaged in a plastic tube and includes a brass patch holder. Micro Polished Rods have a mirrorlike jeweled finish that is more dense and hardened due to an added new step in the rod manufacturing process and does not pick up and carry abrasive grit or dirt through the bore. Rugged precision threading for no wobble attachment of rod tip accessories. No adaptor needed and our attachments do not get out of line with the rods as when an adaptor is used. Proprietary Rod handle design (Pat. Pending) allows the rod to rotate in the handle allowing the bore brush to spiral with the rifling and clean the grooves of the rifling completely.
