Keep your shotgun running smooth, season after season. The KleenBore Heavy Duty Cleaning Rod (OP108) is purpose-built for .410 bore and 10 gauge shotguns, pairing a 34" aluminum shaft with a comfortable Sure-Grip handle for confident, controlled cleaning from breech to muzzle. Lightweight, rigid, and corrosion resistant, this rod gives hunters, clay shooters, and gunsmiths the leverage and reach needed to push patches, swabs, and brushes through long barrels without flex or chatter.
Why Choose the KleenBore OP108
Shotgun-Specific Reach: The 34-inch length easily clears extended shotgun barrels and chokes—perfect for .410 and 10 ga platforms.
Rigid Aluminum Shaft: Strong yet lightweight aluminum resists bending and galling for straight, consistent strokes.
Sure-Grip Handle: Ergonomic, non-slip handle improves control with gloved or oily hands and helps prevent over-torque on stuck fouling.
Smooth Rotation: A quality handle interface allows attachments to follow the bore’s natural path for even contact and better cleaning results.
Built to Last: Aluminum construction and robust hardware stand up to solvents, weather, and high-volume range use.

Built for Real-World Shotgun Care
Carbon, plastic wad fouling, and moisture are the enemies of pattern consistency. The OP108 helps you push solvent-soaked patches and bore brushes smoothly through the tube, break loose stubborn residue, and finish with dry/oil patches for rust protection. The rigid shaft helps maintain bore alignment, while the comfortable handle keeps your wrist from fatiguing during extended cleaning sessions.

Sporting clays, skeet & trap shooters: Routine maintenance to keep patterns even and velocities consistent.
Gunsmiths & serious hobbyists: A dependable, shop-ready rod sized correctly for shotguns.
Compatibility & Accessory Tips
Works with .410 and 10 gauge cleaning brushes, mops, and jags (use the appropriate thread adapters if your accessories differ).
For choke tube maintenance, pair with a choke brush and solvent—always remove chokes and clean threads.
Use bore-safe solvents and oils designed for shotguns; avoid abrasives that could mar the bore or choke constrictions.
How to Use (Best Practices)
Unload & Verify Safe: Double-check chamber and magazine are empty.
Pre-Treat: Apply solvent to a patch and push from breech to muzzle; let it soak per solvent directions.
Brush: Run the correct .410 or 10 ga brush several passes to loosen fouling.
Patch Clean: Follow with dry patches until they come out clean.
Protect: Finish with a light, oil-dampened patch to inhibit corrosion.
Chokes & Threads: Clean, dry, and lightly lube choke tubes and barrel threads; reinstall to manufacturer torque guidance.
Pro Tip: Keep separate brushes/mops for different gauges and label them clearly to avoid cross-contamination.
