What thread size does the Kleenbore ACC16 use and will it fit my existing cleaning rod?

The Kleenbore ACC16 features a standard American 5/16"-27 male thread designed to screw directly into standard US-spec shotgun cleaning rods. If you are attaching it to European metric rods or smaller rifle and handgun rods that use #8-32 threads, you will need a thread adapter.

Can I use this patch holder for both my .410 bore and 12 gauge shotguns?

Yes, the ACC16 is engineered for universal compatibility across all standard shotgun gauges, ranging from .410 bore up to 10 gauge. However, because of its physical dimensions, it is strictly oversized and cannot be used for rifle or handgun bores.

Will the nylon material scratch or damage my shotgun's choke tubes and barrel?

The ACC16 is constructed from a heavy-duty, non-abrasive polymer nylon that is specifically designed to be bore-safe. It eliminates the risk of scratching your firearm's chamber, rifling, or delicate choke tubes during routine cleaning and lubrication.

Is this patch holder suitable for removing heavy lead or plastic wad fouling from my shotgun barrel?

Slotted patch holders like the ACC16 are primarily intended for solvent swabbing, oil application, and general patch cleaning rather than heavy scrubbing. For stubborn lead or plastic fouling removal, pairing this with a dedicated accessory like the Kleenbore A186 phosphor bronze bore brush for 12 gauge shotguns is recommended.

Shotgun Patch Holder - KleenBore ACC16

The KleenBore Nylon Shotgun Patch Holder is a bore-cleaning accessory engineered to securely hold cleaning patches on standard cleaning rods. Constructed from rigid, heavy-duty nylon, it enables the application of solvents, bore swabbing, and post-clean lubrication across all standard smoothbore barrels without scratching steel chambers, bores, or delicate choke tubes. It features an integrated 5/16"-27 male thread for direct connection to American standard shotgun cleaning rods.

Key Features

Bore-Safe Nylon Construction: Fabricated from durable, non-abrasive polymer to eliminate the risk of marring or scratching interior barrel surfaces and choke threads.
Standard Shotgun Threading: Incorporates a 5/16"-27 male thread interface for direct attachment to standard US-specification shotgun cleaning rods without requiring step-down adapters.

Who is the Kleenbore Nylon Shotgun Patch Holder for?

Shotgun owners performing routine bore cleaning and maintenance — Connects natively to cleaning rods via its 5/16"-27 male thread to hold dry or solvent-soaked patches for regular barrel swabbing and oiling.
Shooters maintaining multi-gauge shotgun collections — Functions as a universal shotgun patch holder that services the full spread of smoothbore sizes, ranging from .410 bore up to 10 gauge.

Less suitable for: Rifle and handgun maintenance across .17 to .45 calibres due to oversized physical dimensions, or cleaning systems using #8-32 male threads and European metric threads without adapters; these applications require calibre-specific slotted jags or smaller handgun and rifle patch holders.
