BE ADVISED(03/08/2018)
I ordered these 28 gauge brushes and the ones I received were .690 in dia. I contacted Brownell, because these were too big and they sent me another package of three. The ones that came were also .690. I contacted customer service and she got with a technician and his response to her was "These were measured against the 20 gauge brushes and they measure correctly for the 28 gauge". "The 20 gauge is about .050 larger diameter than this 28 gauge brush". Be advised that 28 gauge is .550, 20 gauge is .615. As stated earlier these brushes are .690 so they are really closer to being 16 gauge which is .663. They are made very well, however the packaging is mismarked in my opinion. They will make great brushes for 16 gauge, but good luck getting them in a 28 gauge shot gun.
GREAT BRUSH(17/10/2009)
While starting in SASS shooting my practice sessions consist of 550 rounds of 44 special lead bullets. Cleaning used to take 3 hours with standard brushes and Hoppes # 9 solvent. Wife hated it due to smell and time. A local gunsmith handed me one of these brushes and bragged on its effectiveness. Also changed to M-Pro 7 solvent. Together they cut cleaning time to 1/2 hour. This brush is unbelievable and I will never use anything else again. Hard to push but worth it in cleaning.
Tired of brushes that slip thru bore?(18/10/2009)
These brushes are harder to push thru the bore, but you don't have to make nearly so many passes. In my experience, these are more effective in the larger calibers, and shotguns where the brushes are naturally "softer" due to the bristle wire diameter vs length ratio.
Excellent product(17/05/2013)
These are the ONLY brushes that I use to remove lead from 45 caliber barrels. They remove lead faster than any other brush that I have tried.
Works great - lasts long time(25/02/2010)
I never could seem to get the barrel of my 1911 5" quite clean. It always seemed to be fouled. I use this brush and it cleans right up. Get some. You won't be sorry.
Works perfect - lasts longer time(21/09/2010)
I use this brush to clean my 1911 .5" barrel after every range session. Works perfect - barrel is clean as new one even better!
Fouling be gone!(15/04/2014)
I spent countless hours trying to get the barrel on my M&P 45 clean. I used other bronze brushes, nylon brushes, ultrasonic cleaners, and everything in between and I just couldn't get all of the fouling out of the barrel. After using one of these brushes, I ran a patch through the bore and it came out dirtier than I'd ever seen it. This brush removed stubborn fouling that had built up over time and now the barrel is cleaner than when I bought the gun.
Great Brushes(15/04/2014)
These are the best bore brushes I have used. These clean better than any other bronze brush I've used and they completely blow nylon brushes out of the water. They fit the bore tightly which means they get into the rifling to knock out fouling better than looser fitting brushes. The bristles stay put and don't work loose from the brush.
Great item!(07/07/2011)
Bought these to clean department Mossberg 590 (Cylinder bore) range shotguns. Typical range day consists of a couple hundred trap rounds, and a hundred or so rifled slug rounds. These do a wonderful job cutting through the crud. You have to push them hard, but they do a great job cleaning the bore. Highly recommended - at slighty more than $2 each, they are a bargain!
Tough as nails(04/06/2012)
For a brass brush, this guy puts up quite the resistance. I wouldn't recommend using this brush for routine cleaning but rather getting it out when you have some really stubborn fouling. Highly recommended to have in your cleaning kit.
