The Kleenbore Claymate Shotgun Cleaning Tool is a fast-action pull-through bore cleaning system engineered specifically for 12 Gauge and 16 Gauge shotguns. Featuring a 38-inch working length, this tool combines a phosphor bronze bore brush with absorbent synthetic fibres to scrape away carbon, lead, and plastic wad fouling and sweep it clear in a single pass. A solid brass fitting secures the brush assembly, allowing shotgunners to perform essential field maintenance and bore clearing without unpacking multi-piece cleaning rods.

Key Features

• Single-Pass Cleaning: Combines an integrated phosphor bronze brush with thick synthetic cord fibres to loosen and remove carbon, lead, and wad fouling in one motion.
• Integrated Thread Adapter: Equipped with a brass #10-32 thread adapter to secure standard #5/16-27 shotgun brush threads.
• Extended Working Length: Features a fixed length of 38 inches to easily accommodate target and field shotgun barrels measuring between 26 and 34 inches.
• Washable Construction: The synthetic pull-cord material can be hand-washed and air-dried for continuous field reuse.

Who is the Kleenbore Claymate Shotgun Cleaning Tool 12 Gauge/16 Gauge for?

• Clay target shooters — requires fast bore maintenance between shooting stations, using this shotgun pull-through cleaning snake to clear wad residue across standard 26-inch to 34-inch barrels via its 38-inch working length.
• Upland and waterfowl hunters — requires a compact field maintenance tool that handles standard 12 Gauge and 16 Gauge shotgun bores without carrying rigid rod kits into wet or remote terrain.

Less suitable for: Shotguns chambered in sub-gauge sizes such as 20 Gauge, 28 Gauge, or .410 bore, which require dedicated smaller-diameter pull-through snakes or caliber-matched rigid cleaning rods to prevent core binding.
