The replaceable, female Proof-Positive tip also eliminates the need for additional adapters when changing between jags and brushes. Each Proof-Positive tip is specially machined to provide a completely smooth, edge-free transition between the rod and our Proof-Positive Jags. This removes all possibility of damage to the firearm’s crown while pulling the rod back through the bore.
Utilizing a caliber specific, enhanced, high strength steel core, the Proof-Positive Bore Stix have unsurpassed rigidity that minimizes bow and flex. The steel core is coated with a proprietary, low friction coating that is extremely durable and chemically resistant providing years of dependable service.
Proof-Positive Bore Stix also add a twist to gun cleaning and feature an industry exclusive barrel twist rate identification system. The simple index dot system allows shooters to easily determine a firearm’s barrel twist rate

Absolutely the best cleaning rod I have used yet and I have owned many. To say the rod spins freely of the handle is an understatement. If you spin the handle it spins for a while compared to others that spin 1-3 rotations. The rod is extremely well made and durable. The end of the rod that holds the jag is not brass or copper so it does not give false positive on solvents that re move copper. Even if you use a proof positive jag, you can false positive for copper is your rod has a brass end.
The Proof Positive rod is the Rolls Royce of cleaning rods. It has the best coating, the best handle and the best bearings. The alloy tip is just a plus!!!
I received my Bore Stix cleaning rod today and I must say, I am very, very pleased. It's far superior to the Dewey rod it replaces and I just wanted to thank you for producing such a great product. I'll be ordering more of your stuff soon.I am a very satisfied customer.
