Brownells Special Line Brass Rifle Brush 22 Caliber Centerfire 12 Pack

Keeping a rifle's bore in pristine condition matters, especially if you've got a tack-driving barrel you depend on. The Brownells Special Line Brass Rifle Brush 22 Caliber Centerfire 12 Pack gives you a dozen rifle cleaning brushes engineered to scrub fouling without risking the scratches that can come from careless brush contact. Each brush features a one-piece looped and wound brass shank—not a twisted two-piece design—paired with a no-scratch brass coupling. That attention to detail means you can clean aggressively without worrying about marring the bore you worked hard to protect.

The bristles are phosphor bronze scrubbing wire, chosen for durability and cleaning power over many years of use. Whether you're breaking in a new barrel, maintaining a match-grade shooter, or just keeping your .22 centerfire rifles running clean, this 12-pack ensures you'll have brushes on hand for regular maintenance without reaching for something questionable. At the range, in the field, or at the bench, consistent barrel cleanliness translates to consistent performance.

These brushes thread onto standard 8-32 male cleaning rods (common across most modern rifle rod systems). The 3.27-inch overall length fits standard cleaning rod setups. With twelve in the pack, you can keep extras staged at different locations or rotate them through your cleaning rotation without worrying about brush wear limiting your options.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cleaning rods do these brushes fit?

These .22 centerfire brushes have 8-32 male threads, which fit standard rifle cleaning rods designed for that thread pattern. Note: the 22 caliber brush with 8-36 thread is designed for military M16 cleaning rods only; this pack uses the 8-32 standard thread.

Why are brass shank brushes better for barrel cleaning?

A brass shank is softer than steel, so it won't scratch or damage your barrel if it contacts the rifling during cleaning. The one-piece looped and wound construction used here is more durable than twisted two-piece designs and maintains its integrity over repeated use.

How many brushes come in this pack?

You get 12 brushes per pack, giving you plenty for different rifles, cleaning stations, or rotation as brushes wear over time.

What makes phosphor bronze bristles a good choice?

Phosphor bronze bristles are hard-wearing and aggressive enough to scrub away powder fouling and residue without being so stiff they damage rifling. They maintain their scrubbing action through many cleaning cycles before fraying.
