Frequently Asked Questions
Can this mop be used to apply both solvent and oil?
Yes. The Hoppe's 12 Gauge Cotton Mop is versatile enough for both jobs. Run it through the bore with your preferred bore solvent to loosen powder residue and fouling, then run a fresh or rinsed mop through with a light coat of Hoppe's gun oil or lubricant to leave a protective finish inside the barrel.
How do I attach this mop to my cleaning rod?
This mop is designed to thread onto standard cleaning rod tips using a common attachment fitting. Most Hoppe's and universal cleaning rods are compatible. Simply thread the mop onto the end of your rod and insert it into the chamber end of your shotgun barrel for best results.
How do I clean and care for this cotton mop between uses?
After use, rinse the mop in warm water or a small amount of solvent to remove accumulated fouling and residue. Allow it to air dry completely before storing to prevent mildew or rust transfer. With proper care, a single mop can last through many cleaning sessions, making it a cost-effective addition to your gun maintenance routine.
