Overview

Built for shotgun maintenance, this one-piece brass cleaning rod is designed to be driven by a hand drill for faster bore cleaning. Its 5/16"-27 female thread accepts standard shotgun accessories, making it a practical option for working through stubborn lead and plastic fouling. Brownells notes that it is not for use with .410 bore barrels, so it is best suited to compatible shotgun bores where drill-powered cleaning is desired.
