Kleenbore A183 Bore Brush .410 Gauge Shotgun 5/16-27 Thread Phosphor Bronze

The Kleen-Bore A183 is a .410 gauge shotgun bore brush purpose-built for serious gun maintenance. If you shoot .410 shotguns—whether for upland game, sport clays, or range work—you need a brush that cleans effectively without marring the bore. This phosphor bronze brush delivers the cleaning power your .410 deserves while respecting the integrity of your barrel.

What sets this brush apart is its construction. Kleen-Bore engineered straight wire bristles instead of crimped ones, giving you more aggressive fouling removal and powder residue control. The bristles feature rounded tips to protect your bore's grooved rifling from damage—critical for maintaining accuracy and barrel longevity. The brush body stays thick and stout; it won't flex or bend under the pressure needed for effective scrubbing, so you can put real effort into cleaning without worrying about deforming the tool.

The A183 fits standard American .410 shotgun rod threads (5/16-27), making it compatible with most cleaning rod setups. Phosphor bronze is the material of choice for shotgun cleaning because it's gentle on steel but tough on powder buildup and metal fouling. Made in the USA, this is the kind of straightforward, no-nonsense cleaning tool that belongs in every .410 shooter's kit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this brush fit my .410 shotgun cleaning rod?

Yes, if your rod uses standard American shotgun threads. The A183 features 5/16-27 threading, which is the common standard for .410 and other shotgun cleaning rods. Check your rod's thread size before ordering if you're unsure.

Why phosphor bronze instead of steel?

Phosphor bronze is softer than steel, so it cleans fouling and powder residue effectively without scratching or damaging your barrel's rifling and grooves. It's the safer choice for bore maintenance and won't wear down your bore over time.

What makes the straight bristles better than crimped?

Straight bristles give you more direct contact with the bore wall and better mechanical scrubbing action. They're more aggressive at removing stubborn fouling and powder buildup, making your cleaning sessions shorter and more effective.

Can I use this for other gauges?

This brush is specifically sized and threaded for .410 gauge shotguns. Using it on a larger gauge would be ineffective, and using it on a smaller bore could risk damage. Stick with a brush matched to your shotgun's gauge.
