Brownells Heavy Weight Brush, Nylon, 20 Gauge Shotgun, 12 Pack
Keeping a 20 gauge shotgun in top shape means having the right cleaning tools on hand—and the Brownells Heavy Weight Brush, Nylon, 20 Gauge Shotgun is built to handle the job efficiently. This 12-pack gives you a full supply of dedicated 20 gauge bore brushes so you're never caught short between range sessions or hunting season. Each brush features stiff nylon bristles engineered to scour stubborn powder residue and fouling without compromising the integrity of your shotgun's bore or choke tubes.
What sets these brushes apart is the construction: a looped and wound brass shank paired with a solid coupling design that eliminates scratching inside your barrel. The brass won't degrade your bore or create unwanted surface marks, and the nylon bristles hold up beautifully when you're running them with your preferred bore solvent. The heavy-weight nylon is aggressive enough to cut through carbon buildup but safe for both rifled and smooth bore surfaces, making these versatile for any 20 gauge you own.
At 2 7/8 inches overall length with a 5/16"-27 male thread, these brushes fit standard shotgun cleaning rod setups. The 12-pack format means you can keep a fresh brush in your range bag, your truck, and your cleaning kit at home without having to stock up multiple times a year. It's the kind of practical, no-frills gear that serious shotgunners appreciate—solid Brownells quality at a price point that makes sense for volume cleaning supplies.
