Brownells Heavy Weight Nylon Rifle Brush 416 Caliber 12 Pack

A Brownells Heavy Weight Nylon Rifle Brush in 416 caliber is a workhorse bore-cleaning tool built to handle the carbon and copper fouling that accumulates during shooting sessions. This 12-pack gives you enough brushes to keep one in your cleaning kit, your range bag, and your truck—so you're never without one when you need it. The heavy-weight nylon bristles are stiff enough to scrub stubborn deposits effectively, yet gentle enough that they won't damage your rifling or smoothbore surfaces, making this brush a safe choice whether you're cleaning precision rifles or shotguns.

The brush's construction reflects Brownells' no-nonsense approach to cleaning gear. The brass shank is looped and wound for durability, and it's one solid piece that resists bending or warping. The design prevents scratching on your bore and chamber—a critical advantage when you're working on a rifle you care about. These brushes are also solvent-agnostic; the nylon won't break down or deteriorate when exposed to your preferred cleaning solutions, whether that's a traditional petroleum product or a modern synthetic cleaner.

Because Brownells supplies the military, law enforcement, and serious shooters, their brushes are engineered for repeated use under real-world conditions. The heavy-weight nylon bristles make quick work of fouling, cutting your cleaning time and effort. At 3.26 inches long with an 8-32 male thread, these brushes fit standard cleaning rod setups and are ready to drop into any shooter's maintenance routine.

What calibers and firearms can I use these brushes on?

These are 416 caliber brushes, designed for that bore size. They fit standard cleaning rods with 8-32 male threads, which are common across most rifle and shotgun cleaning systems.
