Brownells Standard Line Brush, 16 Gauge Shotgun, Ss, 12 Pack
If you shoot 16 gauge shotguns regularly—whether hunting, sport clays, or just running rounds at the range—you know that bore fouling builds fast. Brownells Standard Line Brush for 16 Gauge Shotgun in stainless steel delivers aggressive cleaning power when you need it most, and this 12-pack bulk option means you'll always have a fresh brush on hand without breaking the bank.
Stainless steel bristles are your choice when a shotgun bore has taken a beating: heavy lead buildup, rust, or stubborn carbon that standard bronze can't touch. The aggressive action cuts through fouling faster, which is especially useful for shotguns that haven't seen a proper cleaning in a while. Fair warning—that same aggressive action does accelerate bore wear, so reserve these for serious cleaning jobs rather than routine maintenance on a well-maintained barrel.
Brownells engineered these brushes for durability and reliability. The shank is one-piece, looped and wound construction (not the cheaper twisted-together-and-chopped method), so you get a brush that holds up to hard use without falling apart mid-clean. At 2-7/8" overall length with 5/16"-27 male threads, they fit standard shotgun cleaning rod setups. Buying a 12-pack means you can stock your cleaning kit, your truck kit, and your buddy's range bag without worrying about running short.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these 16 gauge brushes work with my cleaning rod?
Yes, if your cleaning rod uses standard 5/16"-27 male threads. These Brownells brushes feature industry-standard threading, so they'll fit most shotgun cleaning kits and rod systems.
When should I use a stainless steel brush instead of bronze?
Stainless steel is your tool for tough jobs: bores with heavy lead fouling, rust, or stubborn carbon buildup. Bronze is gentler and better for routine maintenance. Keep in mind that stainless steel's aggressive action accelerates bore wear, so use it for problem cleaning, not regular upkeep.
Why buy a 12-pack?
Brownells packs these in bulk because bore brushes see real shop use—they wear out or get damaged over time. A 12-pack is more economical than buying singles, and having extras means you're never caught without a clean brush when you need one.
