KleenBore Steel Patch Holder .22-.45 Cal Handgun & Rifle

The KleenBore Steel Patch Holder .22-.45 Caliber is a precision bore-cleaning accessory engineered for handgun and rifle maintenance across a wide range of centerfire and rimfire calibers. Built from hardened black steel with #8-32 threads, this patch holder attaches directly to standard cleaning rods, enabling operators and range shooters to efficiently swab bores during field and bench cleaning cycles. Manufactured in the USA, the KleenBore patch holder combines durability with straightforward functionality—essential attributes for firearms maintenance systems that demand reliability under repeated use.

The .22-.45 caliber range specification covers the vast majority of modern handgun and rifle platforms, from .22 LR through .45 ACP in pistols, and from .223 Remington through .45-70 Government in rifles. The #8-32 thread interface is the industry standard for cleaning rod adapters, ensuring compatibility with Kleen Bore rods and most aftermarket cleaning systems. The compact 2.00 x 0.45 x 5.05-inch design minimizes weight (0.01 lbs) while maintaining the surface area necessary to hold cleaning patches securely without slippage during bore transit. Black steel construction resists corrosion during storage and withstands the chemical environment of solvents and lubricants used in bore cleaning protocols.

This patch holder is suited for law enforcement training units, military armorer shops, competitive shooters, and firearms enthusiasts who maintain multiple firearms across different caliber platforms. It solves the practical problem of patch retention—securing patches to cleaning rods without tools or auxiliary hardware—reducing friction in maintenance routines. Whether conducting quarterly weapon care on patrol rifles, deep cleaning after qualification shoots, or routine maintenance on personal firearms, the KleenBore steel patch holder provides a no-fuss, repeatable solution that integrates seamlessly into existing cleaning rod systems.

Patch holders are foundational components in bore-cleaning kits—often overlooked but critical to effective solvent distribution and fouling removal. A quality steel holder ensures patches seat evenly on the bore's rifling, maximizing contact and cleaning efficacy. The KleenBore design trades complexity for reliability, making it an economical addition to any firearms maintenance setup.
