Brownells Cotton Bore Mop 12 Gauge 12 Pack
Shotgun bore cleaning doesn't need to be complicated, but it does need to be effective. The Brownells Cotton Bore Mop 12 Gauge 12 Pack gives you a dozen durable cotton mops sized specifically for 12-gauge barrels, making it easy to maintain a consistent cleaning routine without running out mid-season. Cotton fibers naturally absorb and hold cleaning solvents and oils, working with your preferred bore paste or compound to break down powder fouling and carbon buildup more thoroughly than patch-only cleaning alone.
Whether you're running a dedicated bore cleaner, Brownells Moly Bore Paste, J-B Compound, or another paste-type abrasive, cotton mops offer a gentler but more effective scrubbing action than patches alone. The natural texture works loosened fouling free from the bore walls without over-aggressiveness. A dozen mops means you've got backups for extended cleaning sessions or a full season of regular maintenance without worrying about inventory.
Keep a pack in your range bag or truck and you'll never be caught without the right tool for the job. Cotton mops are disposable and inexpensive enough that you can use a fresh one each time without hesitation—no need to rinse and reuse between solvents. For hunters, competition shooters, and anyone who takes barrel cleanliness seriously, they're a no-brainer addition to your cleaning kit.
