Pro-Shot MP17 Bore Mop .17 Cal Rifle Cleaning Tool with 5-40" Thread Brass Core

The Pro-Shot MP17 bore mop is a .17 caliber rifle cleaning tool built for shooters who want thorough bore maintenance without the hassle of patched brushes or complicated setups. With a brass core and 5-40" American Standard thread, this mop threads directly onto standard cleaning rods and handles the wet-cleaning phase of your bore maintenance routine. Whether you're breaking in a new .17 barrel or maintaining a well-used one, a quality bore mop keeps your bore clean and lubricated between deeper scrubs.

The cotton construction lets you apply bore cleaner or lubricant and work it through the barrel with a gentle, efficient motion. Because the mop material is absorbent and pliable—unlike a stiff brush—it conforms to the bore and won't scratch your rifling. The brass core won't degrade or shed, so you're not fighting debris or ferrule damage on your rod. For hunters and range shooters alike, a bore mop is an overlooked essential: it's fast, quiet, and keeps your .17 performing consistently shot to shot.

Pro-Shot mops excel when you're running oil-based lubricants through your bore. The cotton fibers agitate the oil into a light foam that distributes evenly across the lands and grooves, penetrating better than a dry patch alone. It's the kind of tool that seems simple until you realize how much faster your cleaning routine becomes and how much more uniform your bore condition gets.

Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this bore mop compatible with my .17 rifle?

Yes, as long as your cleaning rod uses the standard 5-40" American thread. This is the universal thread for most .17 bore cleaning kits. Check your rod's thread specification if you're unsure.

What's the difference between a bore mop and a brush?

A brush has stiff bristles and is designed to scrub away fouling and carbon buildup. A mop is softer and more absorbent, making it ideal for distributing cleaner and lubricant evenly through a bore, especially when using oils. Many shooters use both: brush first to remove heavy fouling, then mop for a final cleaning and lubrication pass.

Will the brass core damage my barrel?

No. Brass is softer than steel and won't scratch your rifling. The core is designed to hold the cotton fibers while allowing the mop to thread safely onto your rod without any risk to your bore.

Can I use this mop dry, or does it need solvent or oil?

It works best with bore cleaner or lubricant. The cotton fibers absorb and distribute the product evenly through the bore. Oil-based lubricants in particular benefit from the foaming action created by the mop's motion.
