Brownells Special Line Brass Rifle Brush M16 22 Cal 8-36 Tpi 12 Pack

The Brownells Special Line Brass Rifle Brush in .22 caliber with 8-36 TPI threads is built for shooters who demand precision cleaning without risking their investment. This 12-pack of M16-compatible brushes pairs durable phosphor bronze bristles with a thoughtfully engineered brass shank—one-piece, looped and wound construction that won't mar your barrel's interior. If you shoot a tack-driving rifle, that barrel is too valuable to risk with cheap brushes; these are engineered to protect what matters while delivering thorough, effective cleaning.

The shank itself is solid brass, looped and wound as a single piece rather than twisted and chopped, which means consistent quality and no sharp edges. The brass coupling is equally no-scratch, and the phosphor bronze bristles are selected specifically for their scrubbing power and longevity. This is the kind of detail that separates actual cleaning equipment from disposable alternatives—you get 12 of them in this pack, so you can outfit your cleaning kit, share with shooting buddies, or simply rotate fresh brushes into your routine without counting them.

Important: This .22 caliber brush with 8-36 TPI threads is designed for military M16 cleaning rods. If you're using a standard AR-15 or civilian rifle rod, verify thread compatibility before ordering. The overall length is 3.27 inches, sized to work efficiently with standard rifle cleaning systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this brush fit my AR-15 or civilian rifle cleaning rod?

This brush is threaded for military M16 cleaning rods with 8-36 TPI threads. Standard AR-15 and most civilian rifle rods use different thread specifications. Verify your rod's thread size and pitch before ordering to ensure compatibility.

Why choose brass bristles and shank over steel?

Brass is softer than steel, which means it scrubs effectively without scratching or gouging the inside of your barrel. For a precision rifle barrel, that protection is worth the investment—you're cleaning, not damaging.

What's the advantage of a looped and wound shank over other constructions?

A one-piece looped and wound shank is stronger and more consistent than brushes made from two twisted wires chopped off at the ends. It means no weak points, better durability across the pack, and less risk of bristles pulling loose during use.

How many brushes should I expect to get?

This is a 12-pack, giving you enough brushes to maintain a full cleaning kit, share with fellow shooters, or rotate fresh brushes without worrying about running out.
