Breakthrough Clean BT17BPH Brass Patch Holder for 17 Caliber Firearms

The Breakthrough Clean BT17BPH is a brass patch holder purpose-built for .17 caliber rifle cleaning. If you run a .17—whether it's a rimfire or centerfire—you know that finding cleaning accessories matched to your bore diameter matters. This holder secures patches firmly for solvent and lubricant application, letting you work through the barrel without improvisation or worry. It's machined from brass, a material that cleans effectively without marring bore walls, and threads onto Breakthrough Clean Technologies stainless steel cleaning rods via its #5-40 connection.

Precision fit is the whole point here. Breakthrough Clean stamps the caliber on each holder so there's no guessing, and the brass construction gives you rigidity for pushing patches downrange while staying gentle on your firearm's interior. Whether you're maintaining a varmint rifle, a precision .17 HMR, or any other .17 platform, this adapter bridges the gap between your cleaning rod and your patch, keeping both centered and secure through each pass.

Thrown into a range bag or stored with your other bore maintenance gear, this single-purpose tool earns its place by doing one job well. If you shoot .17 and use Breakthrough Clean's rod-and-cable system, the BT17BPH eliminates improvisation and makes routine cleaning faster and more consistent.
