Birchwood Casey 41242 Bronze Cleaning Brush .22 Caliber Rifle

The Birchwood Casey 41242 Bronze Cleaning Brush removes stubborn fouling and copper deposits from .22 caliber rifle barrels with superior scrubbing action. This phosphor bronze brush delivers thorough cleaning without damaging rifling grooves or bore surfaces.

What Makes This Different

Phosphor bronze bristles provide the optimal balance of cleaning effectiveness and barrel protection compared to steel brushes that can damage rifling or nylon brushes that lack sufficient scrubbing power. The precisely wound bristles maintain their shape through hundreds of cleaning cycles while conforming perfectly to .22 caliber bore dimensions. Quality construction ensures consistent performance across extended use.

Key Features

• Phosphor bronze bristles remove copper fouling without barrel damage
• Standard 8-32 thread fits most .22 caliber cleaning rods
• Precisely sized for .22/.223 caliber bores (.224 diameter)
• Corrosion-resistant bronze construction withstands solvents
• Looped and wound bristle design prevents unraveling
• Professional-grade manufacturing for consistent cleaning results
• Compatible with all standard cleaning solvents and oils

Regular use maintains accuracy by removing accuracy-robbing copper deposits that accumulate during shooting sessions. The bronze material effectively scrubs carbon buildup while being softer than barrel steel to prevent rifling wear. Hunters and competitive shooters rely on this brush type for maintaining peak barrel performance across thousands of rounds.
