OutersOuters 41605 3Pc Brass Cleaning Rod

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.

Spares for pistol.

I had one of these for years and it always worked great. It did not bend like aluminum and it is safe for the crown of the muzzle. But, I dropped the rod as I stood up stepped on it. If you take care of it it will last a very long time.

One rod broke in the Outers Rifle Cleaning Kit I had so I purchased this to replace the broken piece. It works fine but the length is a bit longer therefore it doesn't fit nicely in the kit I have. Otherwise, it works fine.

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

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? :)

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.

Just fine
