Bore Tech and Dewey Coated Gun Cleaning Rods in Shipping Tubes

This item consists of two spiral-wound cardboard mailing tubes containing high-quality firearm cleaning rods. The taller tube is manually labeled in black ink as containing a '42 inch Coated Bore Tech .30 Cal + Jags'. The shorter tube is marked indicating it contains a 'New Coated Dewey .22 Cal 42 inch' rod and jags. Physically, the tubes show typical kraft paper tan coloring with visible seam lines. One tube retains a portion of its plastic end cap or protective sleeve, visible as a translucent blue/grey material. The handwritten notations are clear but show signs of corrections and strikethroughs on the Dewey tube. Condition-wise, the cardboard shows light surface wear and minor scuffing consistent with storage in a garage or workshop. These specific brands, Bore Tech and J. Dewey Mfg., are highly regarded in the shooting sports community for producing nylon-coated steel rods that prevent damage to rifle rifling. The handwriting suggests these are individually owned and curated maintenance tools rather than retail shelf stock. The craftsmanship of the contents (though largely internal) is implied by the brand names, which are synonymous with precision shooters and competitive marksmen.
