Sorry NO..The .22 caliber rod is too large in diameter to fit down a 177 caliber pellet rifle barrel. You can however purchase a .17 caliber cleaning kit at Wal-mart or any Sporting Goods/Gun Shop for $5-6 and it will fit perfectly. They come with all neccessary cleaning tips that you would need.......

No , even the cleaning rod will be too large in diameter to pass the barrel . Cleaning a pellet gun is not exactly common practice , however you can make a reasonable swabbing rod from a wire coat hanger .

Not without risking damaging your .177 air gun. The .22 caliber rod is too 'wide.'

You can clean everything but the barrel bore because the .22 rod will not fit in the .177 barrel.

If i know what you mean, cleaning kits usually come with a brush, just trim the brush width down, I you have a cleaning rope, you'll just have pull a little bit harder, gun oil, and polish is pretty generic for and gun. Check your local gander mountain store. They have some cheap kits if it doesn't work out
Hope it helps

Are you that dense? I mean seriously this is one of those you should know the answer as you posted it?
How would you fit .22 rod into a .177 bore hole????
Stay away from me at the range, you scare me....

Nope you have a .17 caliber, the .22 is too big, besides you rarely need to clean the barell of an air riffle.

you don't need to clean out the barrel of a pellet gun. a little bit of lead in there is a good thing.

you can try, but it won't work. If you even get the rod down into the barrel, it will get stuck, so I wouldn't even attempt it.
