A short post with over 50 years experience with phosphor bronze cleaning brushes

I've been ordering stuff from Brownell's since the 1970s and always been satisfied. The problem I have with Brownell's and many other gun places these days is they are "out of stock" on so many things.

Yes - I have to order from Midway USA once in a while because Brownell's is out of stock of certain items. Midway is a good company but think Bownell's has a slightly higher line of house branded products.

What, guns need cleaning?

NO... and apparently you don't have to change oil in your vehicle.

I had a next door neighbor once that NEVER changed the oil in his vehicles.

A helpful post, thanks. I stopped using nylon brushes years ago when I learned that they didn't work well as barrel brushes. I do use them for cleaning magazines, which never seem to get grimy enough to need something stiffer.

I use nylon brushes only to clear unburnt powder residue from chambers and cylinders while at the range. They're pretty much useless for actual cleaning.

I really like Southern Bloomer cotton cleaning patches ( although I will give Brownells a try )
Southern Bloomer cotton cleaning patches are made about 45 minutes from my house in Bristol, Tennessee

I don't change it either, I just top if off if it gets a couple of quarts low. Engine oil doesn't even work will until it turns to the consistancy of honey.
