Brownells Special Line Brush, Brass, .22 Caliber Rimfire, 12 Pack
Keeping a precision rifle clean without damaging the bore is a non-negotiable part of responsible shooting and hunting. The Brownells Special Line Brush in .22 caliber rimfire is built for shooters who won't compromise on barrel protection. Each brush in this 12-pack features a one-piece brass shank that's looped and wound—not twisted and chopped—to eliminate sharp edges that could scratch a prized barrel during the cleaning process. The no-scratch brass coupling adds another layer of protection, so you can run your cleaning rod with confidence on rifles you've invested in.
The bristles are phosphor bronze scrubbing wire, chosen specifically for their durability and cleaning power. You'll get genuine scrubbing action that cuts through fouling without leaving your bore compromised. At 3.27 inches overall length, each brush fits standard .22 caliber cleaning kits and works with conventional rods and handles. With a dozen brushes in the pack, you've got enough for regular maintenance across multiple rifles or a long season of shooting.
Whether you're cleaning a .22 rimfire hunting rifle, a match-grade target gun, or a collection of .22s, these brushes are engineered for the shooter who understands that barrel care directly affects accuracy and longevity. Brownells Special Line brushes are the choice when your gun deserves better than generic hardware store cleaners.
