The KleenBore A186 bore brush delivers professional-grade cleaning performance for 12 gauge shotguns with its phosphor bronze bristle construction. This precision-engineered brush removes stubborn fouling and residue that standard cleaning patches leave behind.
What Makes This Different
Phosphor bronze bristles provide the optimal balance of cleaning power and barrel protection, unlike steel brushes that can cause wear or nylon brushes that lack scrubbing ability. The #5/16-27 thread pitch ensures secure attachment to most standard cleaning rods. Each bristle maintains its shape through hundreds of cleaning cycles while effectively cutting through powder residue, plastic wad fouling, and lead deposits.
Key Features
- Phosphor bronze bristles resist corrosion and maintain cleaning effectiveness
- Standard #5/16-27 thread fits most cleaning rod systems
- 12 gauge specific diameter for proper bore contact
- Looped and twisted wire core prevents bristle shedding
- Heat-treated bronze alloy construction for durability
- Compact design allows easy reversal in cleaning process
- Made in USA with quality control standards
Field testing shows this brush effectively removes plastic fouling after high-volume clay shooting sessions and lead buildup from slug hunting. The phosphor bronze material won't scratch chrome-lined barrels or damage delicate choke tube threads. Competition shooters rely on this brush type for maintaining consistent patterns between events, while hunters depend on it for reliable performance in adverse conditions.
