Brownells Special Line Brass Rifle Brush 35/38/357 Caliber 3 Pack
The Brownells Special Line Brass Rifle Brush for 35/38/357 caliber comes in a convenient 3-pack, designed for shooters who refuse to compromise their barrel's condition during cleaning. Whether you're maintaining a precision hunting rifle, a range gun, or a defensive pistol in these calibers, these brushes protect your bore from the inside out—something you can't say about cheaper alternatives with steel or poorly constructed shanks that risk fine scratches inside your barrel.
What sets these rifle brushes apart is their construction. The shank is solid brass, looped and wound in one piece rather than twisted together and cut short. The coupling is also brass and engineered to be scratch-free. This matters: if you've invested in a quality barrel, the last thing you want is a cleaning tool marring the very surface you're trying to protect. The bristles are phosphor bronze scrubbing wire, a material built for durability and effective fouling removal without breaking down after a few cleaning sessions.
Each brush is 3.27 inches overall and features 8-32 male threads, making them compatible with standard rifle cleaning rods for 35/38/357 caliber bores. The 3-pack format means you can keep one in your field kit, one at the bench, and one as a spare—or rotate them to extend their service life. For hunters and shooters who take pride in long-term barrel maintenance, these brushes represent a small investment that pays dividends in peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these brushes work with my standard rifle cleaning rod?
Yes. The 35/38/357 brushes feature 8-32 male threads, which are standard for most rifle cleaning rods. Confirm your rod uses 8-32 threads before purchase.
Why are brass bristles and shank better than steel?
Brass is significantly softer than steel and won't scratch or damage your barrel's interior surfaces during cleaning. Steel brushes and steel shanks can leave fine marks that compromise bore condition over time. Phosphor bronze bristles are also more durable than standard brass and resist wear better through repeated cleaning cycles.
