What thread size does the Pro-Shot 17P pistol brush use, and will it fit my standard cleaning rod?

The Pro-Shot 17P features an American Standard #5-40 male thread specifically designed for .17 calibre components. Because standard Australian rifle and handgun cleaning rods usually utilize #8-32 threads, you will need a 5-40 to 8-32 thread adapter to connect this brush to a standard rod.

Can I use this pistol brush with aggressive copper-dissolving solvents in outback cleaning kits?

While the premium bronze alloy and brass core prevent damage to precision rifling during bush or range maintenance, heavy copper-dissolving chemical solvents can chemically degrade bronze bristles over time. For aggressive copper-stripping applications, it is recommended to transition to a nylon bristle brush to maximize service life.

Will this pistol-length brush work effectively if I need to clean a .17 calibre rifle barrel?

The 17P model features a short-bodied pistol-length core optimized specifically for handguns and short specialty barrels. While it can be used on rifles in a pinch, full-length rifle bronze brushes like the 17R provide a longer scrubbing surface better suited for extended rifle barrels.

The Pro-Shot 17P Benchrest Quality Bronze Bristle Pistol Bore Brush is a dedicated mechanical cleaning accessory engineered for .17 calibre handguns and short-barrel firearms. Built with an oversized bristle profile, this pistol-length brush delivers a snug fit against barrel walls to scrub away lead fouling, copper buildup, powder residue, and carbon deposits. It features a solid brass core, a looped brass end, and brass coupling to ensure rifling, chambers, and muzzle crowns are protected from damage during regular maintenance.

Who is the Proshot 17 Cal Pistol Bronze Brush for?

Target Shooters — Requiring a bore brush tailored for .17 calibre target handguns with a dedicated #5-40 male thread to safely remove fouling and protect chamber and crown surfaces.
Pest Controllers — Maintaining .17 calibre short-barrel firearms where an oversized bronze bristle profile on a #5-40 thread provides the mechanical friction needed to clear stubborn field residue.

Less suitable for: Barrels larger than .17 calibre (such as .20, .22, or 6mm bores), which require dedicated, larger-diameter bore brushes to achieve wall contact; or cleaning rods utilising standard #8-32 female threads, which require a step-up thread adapter or a dedicated #8-32 bore brush.
