RamRodz Gun Cleaning

About RamRodz

RamRodz Inc revolutionized gun cleaning when it launched in December 2013 as a division of Innovative Products of America.

The company was founded by Ian Vinci, Peter Vinci, and Ryan Estvanik, who were gun owners that knew the pitfalls of traditional cleaning methods firsthand.

Operating from a 75,000 square foot facility in Woodstock, NY, RamRodz developed caliber-specific precision cleaning swabs that eliminated the need for cotton patches.

For 11 years, the company provided superior cleaning performance in a fraction of the time without the hassle and mess of conventional methods.

RamRodz became the preferred choice among professional gunsmiths and shooting enthusiasts before the company ceased operations after more than a decade of innovation.
