Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to use solvent or oil with this bore cleaner rope?
While the Kleen-Bore bore rope is effective dry for removing carbon fouling and loose debris, applying a small amount of your preferred bore solvent to the main floss section before pulling it through will significantly improve its ability to break down powder residue and plastic wad fouling. A light coat of gun oil on a final pass helps protect the bore against corrosion.
How do I clean and maintain the bore rope after use?
The Kleen-Bore rope cleaner is fully washable and reusable. Simply rinse it under warm water after use or run it through a regular laundry cycle in a mesh bag. Allow it to air dry completely before storing or reusing. With proper care, one rope can replace dozens of disposable patches over its lifespan.
Is this rope compatible with all 12 gauge shotgun barrel lengths and choke configurations?
Yes — the Kleen-Bore 12 gauge bore rope is designed to work with standard 12 gauge barrels of any length, including those fitted with fixed or removable chokes. The flexible rope construction allows it to pass smoothly through the bore regardless of choke constriction, making it suitable for cylinder, improved cylinder, modified, and full choke barrels alike. Always remove any muzzle device if necessary before pulling through.
