Hoppe's No. 9 3-Pack Brush/Swab Kit, 12-Guage Shotgun

Cleaned my chrome lined bore to a bright finish.

Discovered thru shooting a lot of high brass buckshot and slugs, that the residue left in the barrel of my 590 (especially the first several inches from the chamber) was much heavier and thicker than that from shooting low brass birdshot. With this kit was able to completely clean and store, until next range trip, the smooth bore of my 590. After these four (brush-brush-patch-swab) steps using this kit, the bore of my 590 has a factory polished mirror like look to it. One happy shotgunner here.Start by soaking barrel for several minutes with CLP. First use the Tornado brush with heavy brass rod. The tight fit of this brush insures a good scrubbing of the heavy residue build up. Use with several passes. Soak barrel again and then use the Phosphor/Bronze brush with several passes again. Then use 3in round cotton patches attached to brush or jag with more than several passes, until patches show almost no dirty residue. Finally soak cotton Swab with CLP and with 2-3 passes, coats the barrel liberally to store for next usage.Liking it to refinishing a gun stock, starting with very coarse sand paper and finishing with a very fine sand paper. Very satisfied with the results from this kit. Highly recommended for all shotgunners. Have same kit in 45cal. Thank You. JD590.

Works.

I took a tactical shotgun course this past weekend, and put 100+ rounds of slug and 00 buck through a nearly brand new Mossberg 590. Afterward, most of the bore looked good, but the first couple inches looked horrible. My Boresnake usually handles the shotgun cleaning fine, but this stuff wouldn't come off. I had begun to wonder if it was actual barrel damage and not lead buildup. The mop and bronze brush in this set are pretty run of the mill, but the Tornado Brush was very impressive. After using the mop to soak the bore with cleaner, I used the Tornado Brush to break up and remove the buildup. An inspection with my borescope confirmed a nice, clean, shiny barrel all ready for the next range trip! Be aware that these brushes use a 5/16" thread, so you'll need a matching cleaning rod or thread adapter to use them.

I recently picked up an old Stevens 520 12ga. The bore and the chamber were pretty crusty with rust, powder residue, etc. For some reason I couldn't find my 12ga cleaning kit so I ordered these brushes and the Hoppe's shotgun cleaning rod. I dipped put the tornado brush on and dipped it into some #9 solvent, ran it through the bore a few times and I was absolutely stunned with the results. Both the chamber and the barrel bore came out smooth as glass just like a brand new shotgun. I've used Hoppe's #9 for years on rifles and pistols but not on a shotgun until now. I knew I could trust the brand.

I clean mine after using and leave in a plastic jar with a screw lid to keep the smell down. They last for years.

As expected! This kit really has all you need for cleaning your shotgun barrels. I use the "tornado" brush with bore cleaner down the whole barrel with the chokes in. Then I do a more detailed choke tube cleaning with the choke removed, scrubbing it with the copper brush by hand. Then I reinstall the chokes and use a couple swabs to clean up any residual bore cleaner, and run a patch or two with oil, and finish it off with the soft brush to take up any extra oil.

These attachments worked great, and helped bring an old (most likely never cleaned) Mossberg 500A barrel back to life! I picked it up at a pawn shop and noticed that the barrel looked pitted, but I took my chances and purchased it anyway. Shortly thereafter, I ordered this kit, and after several passes with the metal brush through the barrel, I realized that the barrel wasn't actually pitted, but severely in need of a deep cleaning.Now I have practically brand new shotgun, thanks to this kit!

Good quality

Cleaned my 12g shotgun only once with it, but it does a pretty good job. To get a full package I had to buy a rod adapter to be able to mount them on my rod and Pro-Shot 12g brass jag to wipe the barrel with cleaning patches after running brushes few times through it.

I struggled to polish the inside of my Benelli SuperNova to factory new gloss condition after a few hundred rounds and the spring brush got rid of all the buildup in under a minute. The other two brushes are a nice bonus.

It does what it's made for. I had heavy buildup of Wad on my chokes after 200+ shots. Took a bit of elbow grease, but was able to get the Wad removed.
