Real Avid Bore Boss 12 Gauge Shotgun Cleaner - 32" Polycarbonate Cable with Bronze Bristles

The Real Avid Bore Boss 12 Gauge Shotgun Cleaner is a purpose-built field rod system designed to make shotgun bore cleaning faster, simpler, and less messy than traditional rope or cable methods. Whether you're maintaining a hunting shotgun between seasons or keeping your clay target gun in peak condition, the Bore Boss delivers a straightforward cleaning experience without the tangles and mess of loose cables. The 32-inch polycarbonate cable with bronze bristles handles full-length 12 gauge barrels, making it ideal for most hunting and sport shotguns.

The core innovation here is the integrated storage case that doubles as the handle. Load the cable through the bore, clip it for a secure grip, and pull—no assembly, no loose parts rattling in your range bag. The single-piece dual-action cable and flexible handle design mean there's nothing to lose, tangle, or struggle with in the field. Real Avid engineered this system around what actually works rather than what looks slick in marketing photos, and it shows.

Bronze bristles are tough enough to cut copper and powder fouling without damaging bore steel, and the braided mop picks up loosened debris efficiently. At 32 inches long, the cable reaches the full length of 12 gauge barrels, from forcing cone to muzzle. The polycarbonate construction is durable and lightweight—exactly what you want in a tool that lives in your shotgun case or truck.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Bore Boss work with my 12 gauge shotgun?

Yes, the 32-inch cable is designed for full-length 12 gauge barrels, including hunting and sport shotgun configurations. The cable reaches from forcing cone to muzzle on standard 12 gauge guns.

What's included with the Bore Boss?

The kit includes the storage/handle case, the 32-inch dual-action cable, bronze bristle brush, and braided mop. No additional parts or rods are required to start cleaning.

How do I use it in the field or at the range?

Open the flex-case handle, feed the cable through the barrel, clip it for a secure grip, and pull to clean. The cable passes through the bore while the bronze bristles and mop remove fouling. When finished, the cable stores back in the case.

Why bronze bristles instead of steel?

Bronze bristles are effective at removing copper fouling and powder residue without scratching or damaging the bore steel, which steel bristles can do with repeated use.
