this sniper rod is simply a red rod w/ fins and a small tape wrap to ensure a snug fit in the barrel i'll have to post exact instuctions sometime cause it is was tricky trying to figure out how to get the best preformance durability and accuraccy out of them it took me quite a bit of experimenting to get it just right
