Keeping your shotgun barrel clean is non-negotiable if you want reliable cycling and lasting accuracy—and the KleenBore A161 28 gauge shotgun bore brush with phosphor bronze bristles is built to do exactly that without damaging your gun. Unlike the crimped bristles found on cheaper brushes, this one uses straight phosphor bronze wire that stays stiff under pressure, so you get real cleaning power on the first pass rather than bristles that fold over and quit halfway down the bore. The rounded bristle tips work safely inside the barrel's grooved interior, removing powder residue and fouling without the risk of scratching or peening that softer or steel brushes can cause.
28 gauge shotguns aren't as common as 12s or 20s, but serious shooters who run them know the importance of proper maintenance—and general-purpose cleaning supplies often don't fit. This brush comes threaded with the American Standard 5/16-27 connection, so it'll attach directly to any compatible shotgun cleaning rod. Made in the USA, KleenBore's phosphor bronze construction is the gold standard for shotgun and rifle cleaning: tough enough to cut through carbon and plastic wad buildup, but gentle enough to preserve barrel integrity over thousands of rounds.
Whether you're working through a box of field loads after a hunting trip or maintaining a competition gun, having the right brush for your gauge matters. This is the brush 28 gauge shooters reach for when they're serious about keeping their barrel in fighting trim.
| Gauge | 28 |
| Bristle Material | Phosphor Bronze |
| Thread Type | 5/16-27 American Standard |
| Bristle Design | Straight (non-crimped) with rounded tips |
| Country of Origin | USA |
Yes, as long as your cleaning rod uses the American Standard 5/16-27 thread connection. This is the common thread specification for 28 gauge shotgun cleaning kits. Check your rod's thread size before ordering if you're uncertain.
Absolutely. Phosphor bronze is the standard choice for shotgun and rifle maintenance because it's soft enough to avoid barrel damage but hard enough to remove fouling and powder residue effectively. The rounded bristle tips on this brush add an extra layer of protection for the barrel's grooved interior.
Straight bristles stay stiff under pressure and maintain their cleaning effectiveness throughout the bore, while crimped bristles can fold over and lose efficiency. For serious shotgun cleaning, straight bristles deliver better results and longer brush life.
This brush is designed to remove powder residue, carbon buildup, and plastic wad fouling—the typical debris left behind after shooting. Regular cleaning with this brush helps maintain barrel condition and reliable function.
