Frequently Asked Questions

RamRodz are caliber-specific, disposable gun swabs specially engineered to clean firearms (available in .22, .38, .40, .45 and 50 calibers). The industrial-grade cotton heads are wound to precise caliber sizes to clean the maximum surface area with each pass down the barrel. The density of the low-lint cotton soaks up cleaning solvent without any drip or splatter and releases only as the head is squeezed into the bore. This ensures a more efficient cleaning method and a cleaner work environment. RamRodz are favored for their strong, yet flexible 8″ bamboo handles that bend, but don’t break, providing unparalleled access to hard-to-reach areas. They are also great for cleaning all internal gun parts, not just the barrels.

Everyone is familiar with the tedious nature of using patches.They’re slow, messy, and typically ineffective when compared to the results you will receive with RamRodz, which actually EXPAND into the rifling grooves to remove fouling. When RamRodz are run down the barrel, you will notice an even, deep black mark all around the cotton head,

indicating the fouling removed from the grooves. If you watch a patch closely, the edges of the cotton fold back as it runs down the bore and do not get pushed up into the rifling grooves. A patch will leave uneven streak marks indicating less surface area has been cleaned. You can imagine how many more passes a patch will take to achieve the same amount of cleaning as Ramrodz.

These products can be great for a quick field clean and certainly have their place in the market. However, when compared side by side, you’ll find that RamRodz clean the rifling grooves much more thoroughly.
