Kleenbore Smallbore Cotton Bore Mop .17/.177 Cal

The Kleenbore Smallbore Cotton Bore Mop .17/.177 Caliber is a precision cleaning tool designed for rifles and firearms chambered in smallbore calibers. This 100% cotton mop features #3-48 threads, the standard threading for smallbore cleaning rods, making it compatible with rod systems across major manufacturers. The highly absorbent cotton construction excels at applying solvents, CLP, and lubricants deep into fouled bores, or for final-stage lubrication after primary cleaning is complete.

Cotton bore mops absorb and retain cleaning solutions more effectively than synthetic alternatives, allowing the cleaner to work into rifling and carbon deposits without requiring excessive passes. The .17 caliber specification suits rifles including .17 HMR, .17 Mach 2, and other .177-bore smallbore cartridges commonly used in precision rimfire and target shooting. Made in the USA, this mop meets the durability standards expected of Kleen Bore products, which have been a fixture in professional and competitive shooting communities for decades.

Smallbore shooters—whether engaged in precision rifle competition, field target work, or routine maintenance of high-accuracy rimfire systems—benefit from dedicated .17 caliber cleaning tools. Standard all-purpose mops often oversized for the bore create excessive friction and waste solvent. A purpose-built smallbore mop like this ensures effective coverage, faster drying, and reduced cleaning rod wear on delicate bore surfaces. This tool is essential for anyone maintaining smallbore rifles to exacting standards.
