RamRodz Barrel Cleaners

Quick and Easy Caliber-Specific Cleaning Swabs for Various Firearms

Ever look at a product and wonder how it was invented? Well, if you take one look at RamRodz, you'll know where the inspiration for these firearm cleaning swabs came from: personal hygiene cotton swabs, also called Q-tips. Those little cotton swabs have been around for many years, and work great for everything from cleaning your ears to applying touch-up paint. Essentially, RamRodz are a scaled-up and refined version of this same concept, but specifically for firearm cleaning.

The traditional way of cleaning a barrel involves a long slotted rod with a cotton patch pushed through it, but this is a bit of a hassle if you're working with several calibers and have to repeatedly “thread the needle” with new patches. Fortunately, RamRodz has developed effective and affordable swabs that are caliber-specific. These swabs can be quickly run through your gun's barrel and breech, removing debris from hard-to-reach areas. They're even flexible, so they won't break if you bend them.

RamRodz are available in eight different calibers, each available separately:

  • .22/.223/5.56mm
  • .38/9mm/.357/.380
  • .40/10mm
  • .44/.45/.410
  • .50
  • .30/.308/7.62mm
  • 12 gauge
  • 20 gauge
