Brownells Standard Line Brush, Nylon, .17 Caliber Pistol, 12 Pack

Keeping a .17 caliber pistol clean means having the right tools on hand—and the Brownells Standard Line Brush, Nylon, .17 Caliber Pistol, 12 Pack gives you a year's worth of bore brushes without the repeated trips to restock. These nylon bore brushes are built to handle modern copper-removing solvents that can wear out inferior brushes fast. The nylon bristles won't scratch your bore or affect accuracy, making them ideal for shooters who run aggressive cleaners and want reliable, repeatable results downrange.

The construction here is what sets Brownells apart from throwaway alternatives. Each brush features a one-piece, looped and wound brass shank—not a flimsy twisted-together design—threaded to fit your .17 caliber firearm with the correct 5-40 thread. At 2-1/8 inches overall length, they're sized to work efficiently in a cleaning rod setup without unnecessary bulk. A 12-pack format means you're stocked for the long haul, whether you shoot regularly at the range, hunt, or both.

Brownells has been gunsmith and reloader supply since the early days, and this brush line reflects that heritage: built for working gunsmiths who go through brushes and demand quality. You get the same spec here as the pros use in their shop. Stock a pack and rotate them out as they wear, or keep extras in your range bag, truck, and cleaning station.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these brushes work with strong copper-removal solvents?

Yes. Nylon bristles are specifically designed to withstand aggressive new-generation bore cleaners that target copper and bronze fouling, unlike traditional wire brushes that can degrade or shed.

What thread size do .17 caliber pistol brushes use?

These brushes feature a 5-40 thread, which is the standard for .17 caliber applications.

How long do individual brushes typically last?

That depends on cleaning frequency and solvent strength, but the 12-pack bulk format is designed so you can rotate brushes and always have fresh ones ready without restocking often.

Are these the same brushes gunsmiths use?

These are Brownells Standard Line brushes with one-piece looped-and-wound shanks and nylon bristles—the same spec that professional gunsmiths and reloaders stock in their shops.
