Brownells Standard Line Brush, Nylon, .22 Caliber Pistol, 12 Pack
Cleaning a .22 pistol properly means using the right tools—and a quality bore brush is essential. The Brownells Standard Line Brush in nylon, sized for .22 caliber pistols, is built to handle modern copper-removing solvents without compromising accuracy. A 12-pack gives you brushes for the range, the shop, and the safe, so you always have a fresh one on hand and can stock spares without breaking the bank.
The engineering here matters. Each nylon .22 pistol brush features a one-piece, looped and wound steel shank—the stronger, more durable construction compared to twisted-together designs. Nylon bristles resist the aggressive bite of newer-generation bore cleaners that target copper and bronze fouling, holding their shape where softer materials would degrade. That durability translates to consistent cleaning action and no risk of bristle fragments left inside your bore.
At 2-1/8 inches overall length with an 8-32 thread, this brush threads directly into your standard .22 pistol rod. Whether you're running a brass-core or copper-jacketed round, or working with corrosive ammunition, these brushes won't scratch or gouge your bore—a real advantage for shooters who demand tight, reliable groups. The 12-pack format means you're never caught short, and the cost per brush drops significantly versus single-pack alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this .22 pistol brush work with aggressive bore cleaners?
Yes. Nylon bristles are formulated to resist the modern copper and bronze-removing solvents that can wear down traditional materials. These brushes maintain their integrity under chemical attack.
What thread size do I need for my .22 pistol cleaning rod?
This brush is 8-32 threaded. Most standard .22 pistol cleaning rods use 8-32 threads, so verify your rod's thread size before ordering.
Will nylon bristles scratch my .22 bore?
No. Nylon is softer than barrel steel and will not cause scratching or accuracy-ruining damage—a key advantage over harder brush materials, especially when used with modern solvents.
Why buy a 12-pack instead of single brushes?
A 12-pack drops the cost per brush and ensures you always have a fresh one available. Worn brushes can be rotated out, and you'll have backups for multiple cleaning sessions or to stock different locations.
