The Kleenbore Bronze Utility Brush (UT223) is a standalone manual cleaning hand tool engineered to lift burnt powder, carbon fouling, and caked lubricant from firearm actions and metal assemblies. Featuring stiff phosphor bronze bristles set into a moulded black nylon handle with integrated finger grooves and a hang hole, this brush provides mechanical scrubbing power on steel and alloy surfaces without scratching standard blued, Parkerized, Cerakote, or stainless finishes.

Key Features

• Phosphor Bronze Bristles: Provides stiff agitation to break up fouling and carbon deposits on metal surfaces while protecting underlying factory finishes.
• Ergonomic Nylon Handle: Moulded black polymer handle features built-in finger grooves for positive grip during manual scrubbing and a hang hole for workshop pegboard storage.
• Solvent Resistant: Both the bronze bristles and polymer handle resist breakdown from common gun cleaning solvents, degreasers, and continuous CLP applications.
• Manual Action Cleaning: Standalone hand-tool design enables targeted cleaning on bolt faces, slide rails, revolver cylinders, forcing cones, and receiver crevices without requiring a cleaning rod interface.

Who is the Kleenbore Bronze Utility Brush for?

• Pistol and rifle shooters — cleans carbon fouling and burnt powder from slide rails and bolt faces using a 0.06 lbs phosphor bronze utility brush that safely scrubs blued, Cerakote, and stainless surfaces without abrading factory finishes.
• Workshop gunsmiths — accesses external crevices, revolver cylinders, and receiver assemblies across a 23.9 cm packaged tool length with chemical-resistant phosphor bronze bristles that withstand harsh degreasers and cleaning solvents.

Less suitable for: Internal bore rifling cleaning, which requires caliber-specific threaded bore brushes or pull-through cleaners, or cleaning optical glass and soft polymer exteriors, which require a soft nylon utility brush to prevent micro-marring.
