Brownells Special Line Dewey Brush, Bronze, .38 Caliber Rifle, 12 Pack

The Brownells Special Line Dewey Brush in .38 caliber rifle is purpose-built for serious shooters who want a straightforward, efficient bore cleaning setup. This 12-pack bundle of phosphor bronze rifle brushes threads directly onto Dewey coated rods—no adapter hunting, no thread-changing between calibers. That's the real win: a cleaner workflow at the bench and fewer small parts to lose or swap.

Build quality matters when you're scrubbing down a barrel. These brushes feature phosphor bronze wire bristles that stand up to repeated use without wearing out prematurely, so a 12-pack gives you enough stock to keep a brush in rotation without worrying about bristle degradation. The brass shank is looped and wound as one piece, which means there's no sharp seam or joint to catch on your bore—a critical design choice for rifle shooters who take pride in their barrels.

If you're running a Dewey rod system (the standard among precision shooters and hunters), these brushes eliminate the constant adapter dance. Thread them straight on, scrub, unthread, rinse. The .38 caliber bore size sits in the sweet spot for a lot of rifle cleaning, and the 12-pack supply means you'll have spares on hand for the range or the field without needing to reorder every time your brush gets worn.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this brush work with my Dewey rod?

Yes. These Brownells Special Line brushes are designed to thread directly onto Dewey coated rods using standard 8-36 female threads for .38 caliber. No adapter needed.

What caliber rifle is this brush sized for?

This is a .38 caliber rifle brush. The 8-36 thread is standard for .22 to 6.5mm calibers; the .38 falls within that range.

Can I use these brushes multiple times, or are they disposable?

These are reusable. The phosphor bronze bristles are designed for long life and multiple cleaning cycles, making the 12-pack a sustainable supply rather than single-use items.

What's the advantage of the brass shank construction?

The looped and wound brass shank is softer than steel, so it won't scratch or damage your barrel if it contacts the bore walls during cleaning—a key safety feature for precision shooters.
