Brownells Heavy Weight Brush, Nylon, 28 Gauge Shotgun, 12 Pack

Keep your 28 gauge shotgun bore clean and pristine with the Brownells Heavy Weight Brush, Nylon 12-pack. Whether you're running clay loads or buckshot, these aggressive nylon brushes cut through stubborn carbon and powder fouling fast—the kind of buildup that standard brushes leave behind. Serious shotgunners know that proper bore maintenance extends barrel life and keeps your patterns tight, and these heavy-duty brushes are built to get the job done without compromising your gun.

The secret is the extra-stiff, large-diameter nylon bristles. Nylon won't harm your shotgun's smoothbore or rifled surfaces the way brass or steel can, and it resists deterioration when you're using solvents—whether that's a traditional petroleum cleaner or modern synthetic solutions. The brass shank is looped and wound for strength and features a solid coupling that won't scratch your bore or muzzle during cleaning. You get a 5/16"-27 male thread that fits standard cleaning rod setups.

A 12-pack means you'll have brushes on hand for regular maintenance, rotation during deep cleans, or stocking multiple cleaning kits. At 2 7/8" overall length, each brush is compact enough to handle with control while reaching the full length of your bore. If you're serious about shotgun maintenance—whether you hunt or shoot competitively—these brushes earn their place in your cleaning kit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these nylon brushes damage my shotgun barrel?

No. Heavy-weight nylon is specifically chosen because it's safe on both smoothbore and rifled surfaces. Unlike harder brush materials, nylon won't scratch your bore or muzzle. The brass shank is looped and wound with a smooth coupling for extra protection.

Can I use these brushes with any solvent?

Yes. The nylon bristles resist deterioration when used with your preferred solvent, whether traditional or synthetic.

Do these fit standard cleaning rods?

Yes. Each brush features a 5/16"-27 male thread, which is the standard connection for most shotgun cleaning rods.

Why buy a 12-pack instead of individual brushes?

A 12-pack gives you backup brushes for regular maintenance cycles, lets you keep one in each gun case or range bag, and is more economical than buying singles. It's practical if you shoot regularly or maintain multiple shotguns.
