WHEN YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT POKING YOUR CLEANING RODINTO THE FIRING PIN, ENSURE THAT IT DOESN'T WITH THE PRO-SHOT ROD STOP FOR .22-.26 CAL RODS. Rod stops put a stop to getting overly cleaning happy. In your pump, lever, and automatic action firearms, the cleaning accessory tip should never be forced into the firing pin. The Pro-Shot Rod Stop for .22-.26 Cal Rods prevents this from happening. This rod stop will measure the rod to any desired length. Consider combining this helpful tool with a muzzle guard to make the cleaning process quicker and easier.
