Brownells Special Line Brass Rifle Brush 416 Caliber 12 Pack

Precision rifle cleaning demands brushes that won't compromise your barrel. The Brownells Special Line Brass Rifle Brush in 416 caliber is built for shooters who demand the same exacting standards for bore maintenance as they do for accuracy. Unlike economy brushes, these feature a one-piece looped and wound brass shank—not a twisted, chopped two-piece design—paired with a no-scratch brass coupling. The result is a brush that cleans thoroughly without the risk of abrading your rifling or damaging that carefully-maintained bore.

Whether you're maintaining a precision rifle for long-range hunting, competition, or regular range work, barrel care matters. Phosphor bronze bristles deliver aggressive scrubbing action to remove powder fouling and copper residue while standing up to repeated use. The 3.27" overall length works with standard 8-32 male threaded cleaning rods, making integration into your existing cleaning kit straightforward. This 12-pack provides enough brushes to keep multiple rifles in rotation or to stock up so you always have a fresh brush on hand.

For dedicated shooters who take pride in rifle maintenance, cutting corners on cleaning supplies isn't worth the risk to your barrel. These Brownells brushes represent the right balance of quality construction and economy-friendly bulk pricing.

Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these brushes fit my cleaning rod?

The 416 caliber brush comes with 8-32 male threads, which fit standard modern rifle cleaning rods. Verify your rod's female thread specification before ordering to ensure compatibility.

Why does Brownells use a looped and wound brass shank instead of twisted?

A one-piece looped and wound construction is stronger and smoother than a two-piece twisted shank that's been cut. This design reduces the risk of snagging or scratching your bore during cleaning—a real advantage when you're maintaining a precision rifle.

How many brushes come in a pack?

This is a 12-pack, giving you a full dozen brushes. That's enough to outfit multiple rifles, keep spares in your range bag, or maintain a long-term cleaning supply.

What makes phosphor bronze bristles better for rifle cleaning?

Phosphor bronze wire is durable and aggressive enough to scrub out powder fouling and copper residue without damaging steel. It resists wear better than softer materials, so your brushes stay effective through many cleaning sessions.
