Hoppe’s 1320 Cotton Cleaning Swab 12 Gauge Shotgun, 10 Pack

Description

After a long day of busting clays or chasing birds, your 12 gauge bore ends up caked with powder residue and plastic wad fouling. That is exactly what these Hoppe's cleaning swabs were built to handle. Each one is made from 100% cotton, soft enough that it will not scratch a smooth shotgun bore but grabby enough to pull loose fouling and debris out of the barrel. This pack gives you ten swabs, so you have plenty on hand for cleaning day and a few to toss in the range bag.

How the Hoppe's 12 Gauge Swabs Work

Think of these as the final step in your cleaning routine. Run your solvent and brush through first, then follow up with a swab to wipe the bore clean and dry. The cotton soaks up leftover solvent and carries out the last of the gunk, leaving the barrel ready to store. They also do a nice job reaching into spots a patch alone tends to skip over.

Fit and Threading on the 1320 Cleaning Swab

The swabs use a 5/16-27 thread, which matches standard shotgun cleaning rods. If you are running a universal rod, you can thread these on with a shotgun adapter. That makes them easy to work into a kit you already own instead of buying a whole new setup.

Washable Cotton That Earns Its Keep

One of the best things about these swabs is that they are not a throwaway item. Rinse one out by hand after use, let it air dry, and it is ready to go again. Hoppe's has been in the gun care business for over a century, and simple, dependable pieces like this are a big reason folks keep coming back to the brand. Ten to a pack means you can rotate through them without babying a single swab.
