Hoppe’s 3‑Pack Brush | Swab Kit – Shotgun

Hoppe’s 3‑Pack Brush | Swab Kit for Shotguns gives you three essential bore‑cleaning tools sized specifically for shotgun gauge applications. Each pack contains a phosphor bronze bristle brush, a soft cotton swab, and a tornado‑style scrubbing brush — all designed to work with threaded cleaning rods to help remove fouling and residue from the shotgun bore.

Key Features

Three Essential Cleaning Tools

• Includes one bronze bore brush, one cotton cleaning swab, and one tornado‑style brush to address both stubborn fouling and loose debris in the bore.

Phosphor Bronze Brush

• The brass‑alloy brush provides scrubbing action that loosens lead and carbon residue without damaging the bore’s surface.

Cotton Swab

• Soft, absorbent swab is gentle on the bore while helping lift and carry away loosened fouling and cleaning solvent.

Tornado Brush Design

• Spiral‑wound construction offers additional scrubbing power to reach deeper fouling and improve cleaning efficiency.

Standard Thread Fit

• Each tool features common 8‑32 style threading to attach to most rod systems (rod not included) for straightforward cleaning setup.

Gauge‑Specific Sizes

• Made to fit common shotgun gauges (e.g., 12 ga and 20 ga), ensuring the brushes and swabs match the bore diameter for effective cleaning.

Technical Specifications

(Available gauge options include 12 Gauge and 20 Gauge; select the correct size for your firearm.)

Performance & Practical Use

Hoppe’s 3‑Pack Brush | Swab Kit for Shotguns is a straightforward accessory set for basic shotgun bore cleaning. The phosphor bronze brush tackles heavier fouling such as lead and carbon buildup, while the tornado‑style brush’s spiral configuration engages surface imperfections more aggressively without being harsh on the bore. The cotton swab collects loosened residue and solvent, aiding in leaving the bore cleaner after a maintenance session.

These tools attach to a threaded rod, allowing you to push them through the barrel from breech to muzzle and back for thorough bore contact. Because they are gauge matched, you get good surface coverage and consistent contact with the shotgun’s bore walls — an important factor for effective cleaning.

Best Suited For:

✔ Routine shotguns bore cleaning and maintenance
✔ Shooters who use traditional rod and brush cleaning methods
✔ Hunters and range shooters who want basic accessories
✔ Gauges like 12 ga and 20 ga (ensure correct kit size)

User Tips

Match the Kit to Your Gauge:
Double‑check whether you need the 12 gauge or 20 gauge version before cleaning — tools sized incorrectly can reduce cleaning effectiveness.

Attach to a Quality Rod:
This kit does not include a cleaning rod, so pair it with a suitable, sturdy 8‑32 threaded shotgun rod for best results.

Start with Solvent:
Apply a dedicated bore solvent to the brush or swab before running them through the bore to help break down fouling more efficiently.

Follow with Dry Patches:
After brushing and swabbing, run dry patches through the bore until they come out clean — this removes remaining residue and solvent.
