The Borka Tools Emergency Cleaning Rod, built in collaboration with Pro-Shot, is designed for shooters who need a dependable, compact solution when maintenance can’t wait. Whether you’re at the range or in the field, this rod delivers the capability to clear obstructions, run patches, and maintain your firearm without hauling a full-size cleaning setup. It’s purpose-built to fit inside the internal loop of the Borka Adjustable Torque Driver Kit pouch, keeping it protected, organized, and always within reach.
At the core of this system is a modular design that balances portability with performance. The rod includes seven Pro-Shot Pro Tuff-coated stainless steel sections, each featuring standard 8-32 American threads for broad compatibility with common cleaning accessories. With 4.5 inches of usable length per section, the system extends to a full 31.5 inches when assembled, giving you the reach needed for everything from compact firearms to full-length rifles.
Durability and bore protection are built into every component. Each rod section is crafted from 416 stainless steel, offering the strength needed to handle stuck casings and fouling while remaining softer than barrel steel to reduce the risk of damage. The Pro Tuff coating adds an extra layer of protection, resisting chemicals and heat while helping safeguard your bore during use. With a 0.203 inch outer diameter, the rod maintains a solid balance between rigidity and flexibility.
This system goes beyond standard cleaning rods with the inclusion of a 0.5 inch brass bore obstruction remover and a 0.75 inch ball knob equipped with a rubber buffer. These features allow you to apply controlled force when clearing obstructions while minimizing the risk of damaging the muzzle. It’s a practical setup designed for real-world conditions where reliability matters.
Versatile and adaptable, the Emergency Cleaning Rod is suitable for .22 caliber and up, including 5.45mm, 5.56mm, and .223 platforms. Its modular design allows you to assemble only the length you need, improving control and reducing flex compared to longer, fixed rods. When space is limited but performance still matters, this system delivers.
Portable cleaning that doesn’t cut corners, available at SMKW.
