Traditions A1278 .50-.54 Cal Muzzleloader Cleaning Brush 10/32 Thread

The Traditions A1278 cleaning brush delivers thorough bore cleaning for .50 and .54 caliber muzzleloading firearms with its precision-engineered bronze bristle construction. This specialized cleaning tool removes stubborn powder residue and fouling that standard patches cannot eliminate.

What Makes This Different

Unlike generic cleaning brushes, the A1278 features bronze bristles specifically engineered for muzzleloader bore cleaning without scratching rifling. The 10/32 thread pitch ensures secure attachment to most standard cleaning rods, while the bristle density provides optimal scrubbing action. Bronze construction resists corrosion from black powder solvents and maintains bristle integrity through hundreds of cleaning cycles.
