The Otis Technologies 16 Gauge Nylon Bore Brush (brand part no. FG-516-2N) gives 16 gauge shotgun owners a gentler cleaning option than a bronze brush while still effectively clearing fouling. Made by Otis Technologies, this brush pairs black nylon bristles with a brass stem so it can scrub the bore without risk of scratching. Each brush is stamped with its size on the stem for quick identification, and it threads onto any standard 8-32 cleaning rod. It’s a solid choice for routine maintenance between deeper bronze-brush cleanings on a 16 gauge that’s often harder to find parts for.

Key Specifications

• Bristles are black nylon, a softer option than bronze for routine bore cleaning.

• It’s sized specifically for 16 gauge bores, matching the brush to your shotgun’s chamber.
• It threads onto standard 8-32 cleaning rods, fitting most universal cleaning kits.
