What thread sizes does the Kleenbore ACC17 adapter convert?

The Kleenbore ACC17 features a standard #8-32 male input thread that screws into your existing rifle or handgun cleaning rod. The other end has an American Standard #5/16-27 female thread designed to accept standard shotgun accessories such as bore brushes, mops, and patch holders.

Will this adapter work with European metric-threaded cleaning rods or small-bore rifles?

No, this adapter will not directly fit European metric-threaded cleaning rods like Parker-Hale or Napier, nor will it fit small-bore rifle rods that use #5-40 threads, unless you use secondary thread adapters. It is strictly engineered for standard #8-32 female threaded rods.

How does the aluminum construction perform during remote hunting trips in the outback?

The Kleenbore ACC17 is precision-machined from lightweight aluminum, weighing in at approximately 0.06 lbs (27 g). This makes it ideal for remote field kits and multi-day outback hunts where reducing pack weight is essential, though users employing aggressive chemical solvents should note aluminum's specific chemical compatibility limits.

Are there any electrical compliance requirements or Australian certifications needed for this tool?

No electrical compliance, SAA, or RCM certifications are required for the Kleenbore ACC17. It is a purely mechanical, non-powered firearm maintenance tool that requires no electrical source or Australian plug standards.

Shotgun Thread Adapter - KleenBore ACC17

The Kleenbore ACC17 #8-32 to #5/16-27 Aluminum Shotgun Adaptor is a precision-machined firearm maintenance component designed to bridge standard rifle cleaning hardware with shotgun-specific tools. By converting a standard #8-32 male thread into an American Standard #5/16-27 female thread receiver, this adaptor allows shooters to run standard shotgun bore brushes, mops, patch holders, and jags directly on standard .22 to .45 calibre rifle or handgun cleaning rods.

Key Features

Thread Conversion: Adapts cleaning rods featuring a standard #8-32 female thread to accept American Standard #5/16-27 shotgun cleaning accessories.
Precision-Machined Aluminum: Provides a durable, non-marring threaded connection while weighing approximately 27 g (0.06 lbs) to keep kit weight minimal.
Knurled Outer Profile: Features an externally grooved body to ensure positive finger grip for tool-free installation and removal.
Multi-Gauge Maintenance: Enables thorough cleaning of 12-gauge, 20-gauge, 28-gauge, and .410-bore barrels without requiring dedicated full-diameter shotgun rods.

Who is the Kleenbore #8-32 To #5-16/27 Aluminum Shotgun Adaptor for?

Field armourers — carrying lightweight multi-calibre kits who need a 27 g (0.06 lbs) cleaning rod adaptor to service shotgun barrels using standard #8-32 male threaded rods rather than carrying separate, heavy-gauge cleaning rods.
Hunters — maintaining both rifles and shotguns in remote camps who require the standard #8-32 male thread to American standard #5/16-27 female thread conversion to service 12 ga through .410 bore firearms using a single rod assembly.
Sport shooters — running routine shotgun barrel maintenance who utilise standard #8-32 rifle cleaning rods to drive standard #5/16-27 female threaded shotgun mops, jags, and bore brushes.

Less suitable for: Firearm owners operating small-bore .17 or .20 calibre cleaning rods with #5-40 threads, or European metric rods (such as Parker-Hale or Napier threads), who require dedicated metric or small-bore thread conversion adapters, as well as users requiring heavy chemical resistance against aggressive solvent stripping who would be better served by a solid brass or stainless-steel adaptor.
