Brownells Standard Line Brush, Nylon, .50 Caliber Pistol, 12 Pack
Keep a reliable supply of .50 caliber pistol bore brushes on hand with the Brownells Standard Line Brush, Nylon, 12 Pack. Shooters and gunsmiths alike know that quality cleaning tools disappear fast—whether they're worn out or left behind at the range. This bulk pack solves that problem without forcing you to buy brushes one at a time. Each brush is custom-made to Brownells' exacting standards, with a one-piece, looped and wound steel shank that won't deform or fail mid-session.
Nylon bristles are the smart choice for pistol shooters using modern bore cleaners. Aggressive copper and lead solvents can shred traditional bronze brushes and leave microscopic scratches that degrade accuracy. Nylon bristles resist chemical attack while delivering effective cleaning action—you get a thorough scrub without the risk of damaging your bore. The steel shank design ensures the brush won't strip or bend under reasonable pressure, keeping your gun in service instead of the brush becoming the limiting factor.
At 2-1/8 inches overall length, this brush fits standard pistol cleaning rods with 8-32 thread. Whether you're prepping for a match, maintaining a carry gun, or running a busy shop, a 12-pack keeps you from scrambling for a replacement mid-cleaning session. Stock a pack at your bench, in your range bag, and in your kit—Brownells' reputation for no-nonsense American-made tools backs every brush in the box.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these nylon brushes work with modern bore cleaners?
Yes. Nylon bristles are designed to resist the aggressive copper and bronze-based solvents used in today's best bore cleaners. They won't shed fibers or degrade under chemical attack the way older bronze brushes can.
What thread size do these brushes use?
These .50 caliber brushes feature 8-32 thread, which is the standard for most pistol cleaning rods.
Why buy a 12-pack instead of individual brushes?
Bulk packs reduce cost per brush and ensure you're never caught without a spare. Whether brushes wear out, get lost, or you maintain multiple firearms, a 12-pack keeps your cleaning kit fully stocked.
What makes the one-piece shank design better?
A one-piece, looped and wound shank won't split, strip, or bend like brushes made from two twisted wires. You get consistent, reliable cleaning without the brush becoming the weak point in your maintenance routine.
