The Kleenbore 22-45 Caliber #8-32 Bronze Patch Holder (ACC11) is a bore maintenance accessory designed to secure cotton or synthetic cleaning patches to standard cleaning rods. Built from solid brass, this slotted patch holder allows shooters to apply bore solvents, lubricants, and rust preventatives, as well as wipe away loose powder residue and excess liquids. Its non-abrasive brass construction protects delicate rifling lands, internal bore surfaces, and the firearm muzzle crown from wear or scratching during maintenance passes.
