The KleenBore M16C Military Style Chamber Brush for 5.56mm/.223 caliber is a purpose-built cleaning tool for AR-15s, M16s, M4s, and other modern sporting rifles. This chamber brush tackles the hardest-to-clean part of your rifle—the chamber itself—with a two-stage design that handles both the chamber area and the bolt lock-up zone in one pass. If you run your rifle hard and demand a cleaning tool that can keep pace, this brush is engineered for that job.
Built for durability and heavy use, the M16C features a core wire looped through the brass coupling—a reinforced design that stands up to repeated scrubbing without premature wear. The first stage uses phosphor bronze bristles to aggressively clean the chamber, while a second stage of stainless steel bristles follows to address the bolt lock-up area where carbon and residue accumulate. This two-brush approach means you're not fighting one brush to do two different jobs.
One important note: the #8-36 thread coupling is military-spec and not compatible with standard commercial cleaning rods. This brush is designed to work with KleenBore military-style rods, including those found in their Classic Rifle Kits and Field Pack options. Made in the USA, it's built to the standards you'd expect from a tool designed for serious shooters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this chamber brush fit my cleaning rod?
The M16C uses a military-spec #8-36 thread, which is not standard on most commercial cleaning rods. It is compatible with KleenBore military-style rods, including those supplied in KleenBore Classic Rifle Kits, Field Pack Kits, and the All Caliber Vinyl Pouch Rod Set (#S-170). Check your rod's thread size before purchasing.
What's the difference between the two brush stages?
The first stage uses phosphor bronze bristles to clean the chamber area aggressively, while the second stage of stainless steel bristles addresses the bolt lock-up zone. This two-brush approach allows you to clean both critical areas in one tool without forcing a single brush to perform two different jobs.
Is this brush suitable for heavy shooting sessions?
Yes. The M16C is designed for heavy use, with a looped core wire through the brass coupling to provide reinforced durability for repeated cleaning cycles.
