Bore Tech Bore Tech Patch Hog
The Bore Tech Patch Hog is a muzzle-mounted bore cleaning system designed to eliminate mess and odor during firearm maintenance. Instead of handling dirty patches by hand or watching cleaning solvent drip into your trash can, this simple tool captures spent patches and solvent in a standard plastic bottle—soda or water bottle—that screws directly onto the Patch Hog's threaded end. Once you've finished cleaning, unscrew the bottle, cap it, and dispose of it. No mess on your hands, no smell lingering in your garage.
The Patch Hog slips over the muzzle of any firearm and is held in place with a scratch-resistant rubber washer. The star washer design accommodates barrels up to 2 inches in diameter and is designed to fit over iron sights, so you won't need to remove your existing optics or sighting systems to use it. Setup takes seconds—no tools required.
Whether you shoot rifles, shotguns, or handguns regularly, the Patch Hog is a low-cost way to keep your cleaning station cleaner and your hands cleaner. It's especially handy if you clean firearms indoors or share workspace with others who'd prefer not to smell gun solvents all evening.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Patch Hog fit my rifle?
The Patch Hog accommodates barrels up to 2 inches in diameter and is designed to fit over iron sights. It works with rifles, shotguns, and larger-caliber handguns. If your barrel diameter exceeds 2 inches, it may not fit securely.
What kind of bottle do I need?
Any standard plastic soda bottle or water bottle with a threaded neck will work. The Patch Hog screws directly onto the bottle's threads, so you can use empty bottles you already have at home.
Will this protect my barrel finish?
Yes. The Patch Hog features a scratch-resistant rubber washer that sits between the tool and your muzzle, protecting your barrel finish from contact.
Does the Patch Hog work with my scope or red dot?
The Patch Hog is designed to fit over iron sights. If you're using mounted optics, the placement of your scope or red dot may affect whether you can comfortably use the system, but the tool itself mounts at the muzzle and should not interfere with most sight setups.
