Birchwood Casey 41269 16 Gauge Bronze Cleaning Brush

The Birchwood Casey 41269 cleaning brush delivers thorough bore cleaning for 16-gauge shotguns with its bronze bristle construction. This specialized brush removes powder residue, plastic fouling, and lead deposits that standard cleaning patches cannot reach.

What Makes This Different

Bronze bristles provide the optimal balance between cleaning effectiveness and barrel protection, unlike steel brushes that can damage bore surfaces or nylon brushes that lack sufficient scrubbing power. The phosphor bronze construction resists corrosion while maintaining bristle integrity through hundreds of cleaning cycles. Standard 8-32 threading ensures compatibility with most shotgun cleaning rods and handles.

Key Features

• Phosphor bronze bristles remove stubborn fouling without scratching bore surfaces
• Precision-wound construction maintains bristle density and cleaning effectiveness
• Standard 8-32 thread pattern fits most cleaning rod systems
• 16-gauge specific diameter ensures proper bore contact
• Corrosion-resistant bronze construction extends brush lifespan
• Dense bristle pattern provides thorough 360-degree bore coverage
• Professional-grade construction withstands repeated use

This cleaning brush handles the demanding fouling conditions created by modern shotgun shells, including plastic wad residue and powder deposits that accumulate during high-volume shooting sessions. The bronze bristles maintain their shape and cleaning ability through extended use, making this brush suitable for competitive shooters, hunters, and law enforcement who require consistent bore maintenance. Regular use with appropriate cleaning solvents helps maintain accuracy and prevents corrosion in the barrel.
