OutersOuters 41605 3Pc Brass Cleaning Rod

Just what I was looking for:I had earlier purchased a Pistol Cleaning Kit from Ebay and it was just too short for my longest Barreled Air Pistol.So, I decided to try and find Just The Cleaning Rod For a Rifle that Was Compatible with My Ebay Pistol Cleaning KIT. Since I had the Pistol Kit which Included all Of the Various Sized Jags,Swabs, Brushes and so on that I needed In order To Clean All of my Various Barrels (Long And Short) then All I Needed was A Longer Rod without all of the Gimmicks and Whatnot that come in a KIT.So I got to looking for ROD ONLY on Amazon.I eventually started Bugging RUFUS about it and after being lied to by RUFUS several times because RUFUS IS A COMPANY TEAM PLAYER, Then HE, She, THEM OR IT, LIED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES. RUFUS EVENTUALLY RELENTED AND ADMITTED THAT MISTAKES (LIES) that were committed . I eventuated found this Rifle Cleaning Rod that had a similar handle to my previously purchased rod from Ebay and figured that the rods would be able to screW together and make one HUGE SUPER LENGTH ROD. Well I was right. All ROD SECTIONS FROM EITHER PURCHASE ARE ABLE TO SCREW ONE ANOTHER AS IF THEY WERE PURCHASED TOGETHER AS ONE GIANT SUPER INCESTUOUS FAMILIAL KIT.Needless to say that now I have one giant rod that can handle anything that comes along. I also have all of the attachments which came with the original EBAY PURCHASED KIT WHICH GIVES ME ALL OF THE EXTRA BITS WHICH ARE SURE TO PLEASE ANY ASSORTED BOOM STICK THAT THAT REQUIRES A GOOD GOING OVER.Finally:I really don’t blame RUFUS for all of the delays. RUFUS IS JUST GETTING USED TO PLAYING WITH HUMANS and even though HE, SHE, THEM or IT might be smarter than ONE HUNDRED HUMANS, RUFUS IS ONLY JUST THE SUM OF THE PROGRAMMING AND WHtever RUFUS has been able. TO LEARN along THE way.So in conclusion, RUFUS and I were AblE to get the job DONE BY USING TEamWORK AND IN THE END the CusTomer was Right and that is JuSt TheWay thIngS are.I would like to thank Rufus for helping To MAke ShOppIng At AmAzOn a plEaSurE.

Much better quality than the one in the kit that I broke.

Good stuff. I bought this for cleaning my .22s, because the ".22 caliber" version was only available at 2-3x the price for some reason. The rod itself is the same, just the jags are different. So if you can't find the .22 (or whatever) caliber version for this price, rest assured this will work fine - just add the correct jags/brushes and you're good to go. You were probably going to toss the plastic ones this thing comes with anyway.

It works. Outers used to be made right in Wisconsin, now the name was sold off and they make these in china. Which equates to lower standards, and threads you have to clean up after opening the package ... and if you don't, the threads will get damaged over time. I used to work Weaver dept where we made the rods on a hydromat and took great care with cleaning the machined parts....maybe I'm not unbiased? :)

It is pretty acceptable and will get you going until you figure out what you really need. It does its job... except plastic tips are pretty useless.The seller has a very good customer service. They sent me an aluminium set and sent me a brass replacement

Excellent itemI bought it for the Rod it's excellentI don't use the accessories, I use brass ones from another kit

I bought this to attach to my pack frame for big game hunts. I tend to hunt very rugged terrain during the late season, and falls on the mountainside in the snow are rather common. Having the ability to clear any obstructions from my barrel is extremely important. This rod is brass, which won't damage the rifle bore when used properly. Also each night I run a lightly oiled patch down the bore, then a couple of dry patches, to make sure my rifle is G2G for the next days hunt in austere conditions. This rod is a great addition to my pack, and the price was surprising for the nice quality of the product. If taken care of properly, this is a rod that should last a lifetime of use for a shooter.

I bought this to replace a multi-section rod that came in a gun cleaning kit. The gun cleaning kit was 35.00 and had about everything you would ever need to clean just about any gun. You would therefore assume the 2 cleaning rods in the kit were junk….they were not. I broke the .27-45 cal rod by stepping on it. All of that to say is this Outers rod is flimsy, sections don’t fit tight and the rod itself already bent/bowed on the first use. The metal is extremely porous and collects dirt and grime like a sponge. I would not buy again. I would have been better off buying another gun cleaning kit.Update. It broke on 4th use. Very mild use at that.
