Brownells Heavy Weight Brush, Nylon, 16 Gauge Shotgun, 12 Pack

Keep your 16-gauge shotgun bore in top shape with the Brownells Heavy Weight Brush, Nylon, 12 Pack. Designed specifically for 16-gauge smoothbores, this shotgun cleaning brush set gives you a dozen brushes ready to tackle fouling and stubborn deposits without breaking the bank. Whether you're running a classic side-by-side, a modern inertia-driven semi-auto, or anything in between, having a full pack of dedicated brushes on hand means you can clean more often and share spares with shooting buddies.

The stiff nylon bristles are engineered to be aggressive enough to cut through carbon, copper, and powder residue without harming the delicate bore surface of your shotgun. Unlike bristle types that break down or fray under solvent exposure, heavy-weight nylon holds up reliably across all common bore cleaners. The looped and wound brass shank resists corrosion and won't scratch your bore or choke tubes, while the solid coupling ensures the brush stays intact through countless cleaning sessions.

At 2 7/8 inches long with a standard 5/16"-27 male thread, each brush fits any standard shotgun cleaning rod in your kit. Whether you're maintaining a hunting gun between seasons, staying on top of regular range upkeep, or equipping a cleaning station, a 12-pack gives you enough brushes to keep one in every location and still have spares. No need to rush through cleaning or wait for a brush to dry—grab a fresh one and keep moving.
