The Kleen-Bore A178 bore brush is a phosphor bronze rifle cleaning brush built for shooters who demand effective fouling removal without compromising barrel integrity. Sized for .243, .25, 6mm, and 6.5mm caliber rifles, this brush features straight wire bristles and rounded tips engineered to scrub away powder residue and carbon buildup while protecting your gun's rifling from damage. It threads onto standard 8-32" cleaning rods, making it compatible with most bore-cleaning systems you already own.
What sets this brush apart is its construction: phosphor bronze bristles stay thick and stout under scrubbing pressure, resisting the bending and fraying that softer brushes succumb to after a few sessions at the bench. The straight bristle design (not crimped) generates more actual contact with the bore's interior surface, so you're not just moving solvent around—you're actively breaking up stubborn fouling. That matters whether you're cleaning after a match, a hunt, or routine maintenance on rifles you care about.
Made in the USA, this brush represents the no-nonsense approach to gun care: precision engineering for the job at hand, without gimmicks or unnecessary features. It's a consumable, yes, but a quality one that will outlast cheaper alternatives and deliver consistent cleaning performance season after season.

Frequently Asked Questions
What calibers does this bore brush fit?
The A178 is designed for .243, .25, 6mm, and 6.5mm caliber rifles. It will not fit other bore sizes.
Will this brush fit my cleaning rod?
Yes, if your cleaning rod has an 8-32" thread (the American standard). Most modern rod systems use this size, but verify your rod's thread specification before ordering.
Why phosphor bronze bristles?
Phosphor bronze is harder than nylon or brass, so it scrubs more effectively to remove fouling and carbon buildup. It's also safe for rifle rifling and won't damage or enlarge your bore when used correctly.
How long does a bore brush last?
The straight, round-tipped bristle design on this brush is built to be durable and resistant to bending. Lifespan depends on frequency and intensity of use, but quality construction like this will outlast cheaper alternatives through years of regular cleaning.
