Kleenbore A180 Bore Brush .30/ .300 Out/ .308/ 7.62Mm Cal Rifle 8-32" Threa
The Kleen-Bore A180 bore brush is a phosphor bronze cleaning tool built for .30 caliber, .300 Blackout, .308, and 7.62×39mm rifles. If you shoot any of these common centerfire rifle calibers, a quality bore brush is one of the most important pieces of your cleaning kit—and this one is engineered to do the job without damaging your barrel. The straight bronze bristles cut through powder residue and copper fouling more aggressively than crimped alternatives, while the rounded tips and softer bronze material protect your rifle's rifling grooves from harm.
Made in the USA with American Standard #8-32 threads, this brush fits standard rod attachments and won't bend or fray under the normal pressure of a thorough bore cleaning session. The stout bristle design keeps its shape stroke after stroke, meaning you're getting consistent, effective cleaning power from the first pass to the last. Whether you're breaking in a new barrel, maintaining a range gun, or deep-cleaning a hunting rifle after the season, a bronze bore brush is non-negotiable gear.
Phosphor bronze is the go-to material for bore brushes because it's soft enough to leave your steel barrel untouched but tough enough to lift stubborn fouling. This brush's design reflects that balance: aggressive enough to work, gentle enough to preserve. It's a straightforward, reliable tool that belongs in every shooter's cleaning rod kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this bore brush fit my cleaning rod?
Yes, if your rod uses a standard American #8-32" threaded attachment. This is the common thread size for most cleaning rods and their accessories. If you're unsure, check your rod's threading before ordering.
Can I use this brush on other calibers?
This brush is sized and designed for .30 caliber rifles (.30 Cal., .300 Blackout, .308 Win., and 7.62×39mm). Using it on a different bore diameter won't provide proper contact and could risk damage. Use the appropriately-sized brush for your caliber.
Why phosphor bronze instead of steel or nylon?
Phosphor bronze is softer than barrel steel, so it cleans aggressively without scratching or eroding your rifling. Steel brushes are too hard and risk damage; nylon is less effective on heavy fouling. Bronze is the proven middle ground for serious bore cleaning.
What's the difference between straight and crimped bristles?
Straight bristles contact the bore wall more uniformly and maintain their shape better under pressure, giving you more consistent cleaning power throughout the brush's life. Crimped designs can compress or bend more easily during use.
