Bore-Nado 70586 Bore-Nado Shotgun Cleaning Tool 20 Gauge

The Allen Bore-Nado 70586 is a 20 gauge shotgun cleaning tool designed to simplify barrel maintenance in the field or at the bench. Unlike traditional cleaning kits with loose rods and separate brush attachments, this single-rope system handles the job in one smooth stroke—just add your solvent of choice, pull from breech to muzzle, and repeat until clean. It's the kind of no-fuss solution that fits perfectly in a range bag or gun case when you need quick cleanup between shooting sessions or want to skip wrestling with interchangeable rod segments.

The Bore-Nado combines two cleaning actions in one pass. Weighted brass bore guides at the rope's end help you direct it straight through the barrel without fumbling, while vortex bristle technology—built-in copper brushes—agitates fouling and carbon deposits as the rope moves. A braided swab section follows behind to sweep away loosened debris, so you're not just pushing gunk around; you're actually removing it. For shooters who find traditional rod-and-brush kits tedious or who prefer a simpler maintenance routine, this design cuts out the fiddling.

This tool works well as a standalone quick-clean option or as part of a more thorough cleaning regimen. Twenty-gauge shooters often find barrel maintenance easier with purpose-built tools that match their bore diameter, and the Bore-Nado's single-rope design eliminates size mismatches and lost parts. Whether you're a competition shooter touching up between strings, a hunter ensuring your gun is ready, or someone who simply wants efficient upkeep, this is a straightforward, durable approach to keeping your 20 gauge in fighting shape.

Frequently Asked Questions

What solvent should I use with the Bore-Nado?

The Bore-Nado works with solvents of your choice, so you can use whatever cleaner you already have on hand or prefer for your 20 gauge—whether that's a general-purpose gun cleaner, a specialized copper solvent, or your own proven mix.

Can I use this for quick cleaning between shooting sessions?

Yes. The Bore-Nado is designed for quick touchups and fits easily in a range bag or gun case, making it ideal for field maintenance. Its single-stroke design means you can get a meaningful clean-up done without a full bench setup.

Does this replace a full gun cleaning kit?

The Bore-Nado is excellent as a standalone quick-clean tool or as part of a broader cleaning routine. If you prefer to skip the hassle of interchangeable rod pieces and multiple attachments, it can handle basic maintenance on its own.

What makes the rope design better than a traditional rod?

The rope is flexible, passes through the bore in a single motion, and combines brush and swab action without needing separate attachments. Many shooters find this simpler and faster than assembling and managing traditional rod systems.
