The Otis FG512NB Bore Brush Set delivers professional-grade cleaning performance for 10 and 12 gauge shotguns with dual-bristle technology that removes fouling without damaging barrel surfaces. This two-brush system combines bronze and nylon bristles to tackle both stubborn carbon deposits and delicate bore preservation in a single cleaning session.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard single-material brushes, the FG512NB features both bronze and nylon bristles engineered for different cleaning phases. The bronze bristles cut through baked-on powder residue and lead deposits, while nylon bristles provide final polishing without scratching the bore. This dual-material approach eliminates the need to switch between multiple brushes during cleaning, reducing session time by approximately 40% compared to traditional methods.
Key Features
- Dual bronze and nylon bristle construction for comprehensive fouling removal
- 8-32 thread pitch compatible with standard cleaning rods and systems
- 2-inch brush length optimized for 10 and 12 gauge bore diameters
- Two brushes per package for extended service life
- Precision-wound bristles maintain consistent bore contact pressure
- Corrosion-resistant construction withstands solvent exposure
- Compatible with Otis cleaning systems and universal rod assemblies
Field testing demonstrates effective carbon removal after high-volume shooting sessions, including waterfowl hunting and clay sports where rapid-fire sequences create heavy fouling buildup. The bronze bristles maintain structural integrity through repeated use with aggressive solvents, while nylon components preserve factory bore finish on both chrome-lined and standard steel barrels. Professional armorers report consistent performance across temperature ranges from -20°F to 120°F.
