Shooters Choice 12Ga Bore Brush 3
Proper shotgun maintenance starts with the right tools, and the Shooter's Choice 12-gauge bore brush is built to do the job without taking shortcuts. This 3-inch brush is designed specifically for 12-gauge shotguns and features phosphor bronze bristles paired with an aluminum stem—a combination that scrubs fouling and residue effectively while protecting your barrel from damage. The aluminum stem is labeled with the gauge size, making it easy to grab the right brush every time you break down your gun.
The standard 5/16-27 thread fits the vast majority of shotgun cleaning rods, so it works seamlessly with your existing setup. Whether you're running a pump, semi-auto, or over-under, this brush handles the cleaning chores that keep your patterns tight and your gun running reliably. It's the kind of straightforward, well-engineered component that doesn't need bells and whistles—just honest performance.
Shotgun bore brushes take a beating, so having a quality brush that won't wear out or degrade after a season of use matters. Phosphor bronze stands up to repeated use and won't scratch hardened steel, which is especially important for modern shotgun barrels that are engineered to tight tolerances. Keep one in your cleaning kit at home and another in your range bag.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this brush fit my shotgun cleaning rod?
Yes, as long as your cleaning rod uses a 5/16-27 thread. This is the standard thread for shotgun cleaning equipment and is compatible with the vast majority of shotgun cleaning rods on the market.
Why use phosphor bronze instead of steel?
Phosphor bronze is softer than barrel steel, so it cleans effectively without scratching or damaging the inside of your barrel. Steel brushes can cause micro-scratches that affect accuracy and promote corrosion over time.
Can I use this on other gauges?
No—this brush is designed specifically for 12-gauge shotguns. Using the wrong gauge brush can be ineffective or cause fit issues. Shooter's Choice makes dedicated brushes for other gauges.
What's included in the package?
One 3-inch phosphor bronze bore brush with a 5/16-27 threaded aluminum stem.
