Breakthrough Clean BT22BM Bore Mop for .22/.223/5.56 Caliber Firearms

A clean bore shoots straight, and the Breakthrough Clean BT22BM Bore Mop for .22/.223/5.56 caliber firearms makes maintenance straightforward. This soft cotton mop is engineered to remove powder residue and carbon buildup without the risk of scratching or damaging your rifling. Whether you're breaking in a new rifle, maintaining a match gun, or keeping your everyday shooter running at its best, this reusable cleaning swab belongs in your range bag.

Made from 100% cotton and fitted with external brass threading, the mop compresses snugly into the lands and grooves of your bore for thorough, consistent contact with the bore wall. That compression is what lets it actually lift out loose and dissolved fouling—not just push it around. The standard #8-32 thread fits the vast majority of centerfire cleaning rods, making it a no-fuss addition to your existing gun cleaning kit.

Breakthrough Clean designs their mops to be reusable and washable, so one mop will serve you through countless cleaning sessions. It's gentle enough for routine maintenance on your best rifle yet tough enough to handle heavy fouling after a long range day. For shooters who care about accuracy and take their bore cleaning seriously, this is a proven workhorse.
