Birchwood Casey 41241 Bronze Cleaning Brush .17 Caliber Rifle

The Birchwood Casey 41241 Bronze Cleaning Brush delivers thorough bore cleaning for .17 caliber rifles without damaging rifling or chamber surfaces. This precision-engineered cleaning tool removes fouling and residue that standard patches cannot reach, maintaining accuracy and extending barrel life through proper maintenance.

What Makes This Different

Unlike steel brushes that can score delicate .17 caliber bores, this bronze construction provides aggressive cleaning action while remaining softer than barrel steel. The phosphor bronze bristles conform to rifling grooves, scrubbing away copper fouling and powder residue without causing wear. Standard 8-32 threading ensures compatibility with most cleaning rod systems, while the compact design navigates tight bore dimensions effectively.

Key Features

• Phosphor bronze bristles remove fouling without damaging rifling
• Precision-sized for .17 caliber bore dimensions (.172" diameter)
• Standard 8-32 male threading fits most cleaning rods
• Looped and twisted wire core prevents bristle shedding
• Corrosion-resistant bronze construction for long service life
• Short profile design navigates .17 caliber bore restrictions
• Professional-grade manufacturing ensures consistent performance

This cleaning brush handles the unique challenges of .17 caliber maintenance, where bore diameter leaves little margin for error. The bronze bristles effectively remove the carbon buildup and metal fouling common in high-velocity .17 HMR and .17 Hornet cartridges. Regular use prevents accuracy degradation caused by fouling accumulation, particularly important for precision shooting applications where sub-MOA performance matters.
