Dewey .17 Cal. Nylon Brush, Per Dozen
The Dewey .17 Cal. Nylon Brush, Per Dozen gives you a full set of replacement brushes sized for small-bore rifle cleaning. Each brush features nylon bristles wound around twisted brass wire and looped at the ends to protect your barrel from scratching. This 12-pack is ideal for shooters who maintain multiple .17 caliber rifles or who run a shooting range, gunsmith shop, or club where consistency and stock matter.
Compatible with Dewey and Outers small caliber cleaning rods, these brushes fit .17 caliber rimfire and centerfire cartridges as well as .177 caliber airguns. The nylon construction is gentler than bronze on chrome-lined or stainless barrels, making it a smart choice for precision .17 HMR or .17 WSM hunting rifles that deserve careful maintenance.
Buying by the dozen means you'll have brushes on hand to replace worn ones, keep in different cleaning kits, or share with shooting partners. A well-stocked brush drawer is often the difference between a quick field cleaning and making do with what you've got.

Frequently Asked Questions
What calibers does this .17 brush fit?
This brush is sized for .17 caliber rimfire and centerfire rifles, as well as .177 caliber airguns. It is not intended for larger calibers.
Will these brushes work with my cleaning rod?
Yes—the brush is compatible with Dewey and Outers small caliber cleaning rods. If you use a different rod brand, verify that it accepts standard small caliber brush tips before ordering.
Why nylon instead of bronze?
Nylon bristles are gentler on barrel finishes and are a preferred choice for cleaning without risk of scratching chrome-lined or stainless steel bores. Bronze is harder and better suited to heavy copper fouling removal, but nylon works well for routine maintenance.
Why buy a dozen?
A 12-pack lets you stock multiple cleaning kits, replace worn brushes without reordering, or maintain brushes for different weapons. It's economical for active shooters or anyone running a range or gunsmith operation.
