KleenBore 12GA-SET — Shotgun Accessory Cleaning Set | 12 Gauge | #8-32 Thread | Cotton Mop + Bore Brush (Bronze Bristles) | Model: 12GASET | UPC: 262490005327
Give your 12-gauge the care it deserves with the KleenBore 12GA-SET Shotgun Accessory Cleaning Set. Purpose-built for 12 gauge shotguns, this compact duo combines an absorbent cotton bore mop for solvent/oil application and a phosphor-bronze bore brush that scrubs stubborn carbon, plastic wad fouling, and powder residue. Both tools use the industry-standard #8-32 thread, so they integrate seamlessly with most rods and pull-through cables you already own. From upland birds and waterfowl to clay sports and home-defense shotguns, this set keeps your bore clean, smooth, and range-ready.
Why Choose the KleenBore 12GA-SET
12-Gauge Specific Fit: Proper diameter contact means faster, more effective cleaning with fewer passes.
Two-Tool Efficiency: The bronze brush tackles fouling; the cotton mop lays down solvent and leaves a clean, lightly oiled finish.
Universal #8-32 Threads: Compatible with most cleaning rods, flex cables, and bore guides.
Trusted Brand: KleenBore tools are known for dependable construction and long service life—ideal for hunters, competitors, and armorers.
Compact & Range-Ready: Small enough to keep in your blind bag, vest, or range kit for quick post-shoot maintenance.

Performance You’ll Notice
Cleaner, Brighter Bore: Regular brushing removes streaking from plastic wads and stubborn carbon that can degrade patterns.
Smoother Cycling & Extraction: A clean chamber and bore help minimize sticky hulls and inconsistent performance.
Better Patterns Over Time: Keeping fouling at bay supports consistent pellet distribution and point of impact.
How to Use (Quick Cleaning Routine)
Unload & Verify Clear: Double-check the chamber and magazine tube.
Solvent Pass: Attach the cotton mop; apply solvent from chamber to muzzle. Let it sit briefly to loosen fouling.
Scrub: Swap to the bronze brush and make 5–10 steady passes to lift wad streaks and carbon.
Patch/Mop Dry: Follow with dry patches or the clean mop to remove residue.
Protect: Lightly oil the bore with the mop for corrosion resistance—especially after wet hunts.
Tip: Use a chamber brush (sold separately) for heavy chamber fouling in high-volume clay or tactical shotguns.
Compatibility Tips
Works with most 12-gauge shotguns: pump, semi-auto, over/under, side-by-side, break-action.
Fits cleaning rods and cables that accept #8-32 accessories.
For other gauges (20 GA, 28 GA, .410), use the gauge-correct KleenBore sets.
Care & Maintenance of Tools
Rinse After Use: Swish the brush in clean solvent; shake dry to extend bristle life.
Protect Threads: Add a drop of oil to shanks; start each attachment by hand to avoid cross-threading.
Replace When Worn: Swap the brush when bristles splay; refresh the mop when saturated or no longer absorbent.

Waterfowl & Upland Hunters dealing with wet, dirty conditions and wad fouling.
Clay Sports Shooters (trap, skeet, sporting clays) who clean frequently for consistent patterns.
Home-Defense Shotgun Owners maintaining reliability on standby guns.
Gunsmiths & Instructors needing caliber-correct tools that work with standard equipment.

Q: Are bronze brushes safe for chrome-lined or nitride bores?
A: Yes—phosphor-bronze is commonly used and safe when sized correctly and used with proper technique.
Q: Can the mop be used for both solvent and oil?

Q: Will this fit my existing rod?
