I'm looking for a decent cleaning rod to clean a Stainless 22LR Lilja barrel, chamber and lead. Just something I can safely clean without worry of harming the bore / chamber. This is a CZ 457 and I have a bore guide for it. Thanks!

Bore Tech. I have two and they are quality pieces of gear.

But for Rimfire, the patchworm is absolutely all you need.

As the others said, boretech. I'll also recommend their jags, patches and solvents.

Is the diameter small enough for the Lilja bore?

Get a proper bore guide for the action along with a quality cleaning rod. The cleaning rod should be one (1) piece and long enough to easily clear the muzzle while not busting you knuckles on the buttplate.

Quality rods include Dewey, Boretech or the one from Killough's.....

I've got a Dewey 20 cal. stainless, a Pro shot 20 cal. stainless, and I just received a Bore tech today. I've had a bore guide from Brownells for years. I got it for my old 452 Varmint 22lr. I've heard it will work on my 457 as well.
