Brownells Standard Line Brush, Nylon, .475 Caliber Pistol, 12 Pack

A quality bore brush is one of those consumables that never lasts quite as long as you'd like—especially if you're running modern, aggressive bore cleaners designed to strip copper and powder fouling. The Brownells Standard Line Brush in .475 Caliber Nylon, 12 Pack solves the problem by stocking your cleaning kit with a dozen brushes at once, so you're never caught short in the middle of a deep clean. Nylon bristles won't scratch your bore or damage rifling the way softer brass can, and they hold up reliably under the harsh chemical load of today's advanced solvents.

Built by Brownells' exacting standards, each brush features a one-piece, looped and wound steel shank—the kind of construction that outlasts hastily twisted-together alternatives. The design is simple but effective: durable bristles, solid shank, and a thread that fits standard 8-32 rod connections. At 2-1/8 inches overall, it's the right size for pistol bore work without awkward bulk.

If you shoot .475 pistols regularly or keep a cleaning station stocked for a larger collection, buying in bulk makes sense. You'll rotate through brushes as they wear, confident you've always got a fresh one ready. Whether you're a reloader, a competitive shooter, or someone who simply maintains their firearms with discipline, these nylon brushes won't nick your bore and won't disappoint in the middle of a session.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these nylon brushes work with modern aggressive bore cleaners?

Yes. Nylon bristles are engineered to resist the chemical aggression of modern copper and bronze solvents, and they won't degrade or shed bristles under the harsh cleaners that would break down softer materials. They're designed specifically for today's potent cleaning compounds.

What thread size do these .475 brushes use?

These brushes use a standard 8-32 thread, which fits Brownells rods and most aftermarket pistol cleaning rod setups.

Why buy a 12-pack instead of individual brushes?

Bore brushes wear out with use, especially if you clean frequently or run aggressive solvents. A 12-pack ensures you always have a fresh brush available and costs less per unit than buying them one at a time. It's practical economics for serious shooters and reloaders.

Will the steel shank rust or corrode?

The one-piece, looped and wound steel shank is a proven design. As with any steel tool, dry and store the brushes in a clean, dry environment to prevent rust—standard care for any cleaning implement.
