Why Choose a Nylon 12-Gauge Bore Brush?
Safe on bores: Nylon bristles are non-marring and ideal for chrome-lined, stainless, and carbon steel barrels, delivering confident scrubbing without risk of scratching.
Solvent-ready: The fibers are chemical-resistant, standing up to powerful carbon and plastic wad solvents so you can loosen stubborn residue with confidence.
Full-contact cleaning: Dense bristle pack and an evenly wound core provide consistent, 360° bore contact, pushing fouling out efficiently.
Durable construction: A rugged shank and secure bristle set resist deformation for long service life under repetitive cleaning cycles.
Retail packaged: Sealed presentation protects bristles from dust and shop grime—perfect for peg walls, range kits, and travel.

Faster, Cleaner, Easier
Plastic wad buildup and carbon fouling can degrade patterns and make subsequent cleaning a pain. The BT-12GNBB’s nylon bristles flex into machining marks and imperfections to lift residue while preserving your barrel’s finish. Pair it with a quality solvent and follow with patches or a mop to leave the bore uniform and ready for the next session.
How to Use (Best Practices)
Unload and verify safe. Always check chamber and magazine.
Apply solvent. Wet the bore with a 12-ga patch or mop and let it sit briefly to soften fouling.
Brush from chamber to muzzle. Run the nylon brush in controlled, full-length strokes; avoid reversing direction mid-bore.
Let chemistry work. Reapply solvent as needed; nylon tolerates robust formulas.
Patch clean. Follow with dry patches until they come out light gray to clean.
Protect. Finish with a lightly oiled patch or mop to prevent corrosion.
Pro Tip: Keep two brushes on hand—one dedicated to solvent scrubbing and a second for a quick post-shoot touch-up. Rotating brushes maintains stiffness and prolongs service life.
Perfect For
Sporting clays, trap, and skeet shooters cycling high round counts

Care & Maintenance
Rinse the brush in warm water after heavy solvent use; shake dry.
