BoreTech Bronze Bore Brush

Bore Tech Bronze Bore Brush 17 is a bronze bore brush designed for cleaning .17 caliber rifle barrels, offering effective mechanical cleaning with Bore Tech?s Benchmark Phosphor Bronze construction. The brush is made from high-quality phosphor bronze bristles, and its dimensions are specifically designed for .17 caliber barrels to ensure controlled cleaning that is gentle on the bore.

The Benchmark series phosphor bronze brushes feature twice the amount of phosphor bronze bristles compared to conventional brushes, increasing abrasive cleaning power and helping carbon fouling and impurities come loose faster. A suitable bristle diameter has been selected separately for each caliber so that the brush works effectively without placing unnecessary stress on the barrel.

The brush core is a 100% bore-safe, double-wound, loop-ended construction with no sharp cut ends like those found in many lower-quality brushes. This design helps reduce the risk of scratching and makes the brush long-lasting. The attachment uses a aircraft-grade aluminum coupling, which supports the brush?s durability and reliable use.

.17 and .20 caliber rifle brushes are 2.54 cm (1 inch) shorter than brushes for larger calibers, reducing the force required to push the brush through the barrel. This helps minimize cleaning rod flex and may reduce stress on both the cleaning rod and the barrel during cleaning.

In use, the brush is screwed onto a cleaning rod, moistened with cleaning solvent, and pushed through the full length of the barrel. A bronze brush should always be pushed completely through the barrel and out of the muzzle before changing direction, after which the brush can be pulled back. The recommended amount is 6?12 passes along the length of the barrel, after which more cleaning solvent can be added and brushing continued as needed. After use, the brush should be cleaned before storage.
