Ballistol FlexClean 20 Gauge Bore Cleaning Rope Pull-Through

Description

The Ballistol FlexClean 20 gauge cleaning rope takes the fuss out of barrel maintenance. Instead of breaking your shotgun down and running rods, patches, and brushes, you drop the brass weight through the chamber, grab it out the muzzle, and pull the rope through in the direction you shoot. Three caliber-matched rubber pressure balls ride the length of the cord, making contact with the entire inner barrel surface to push out fouling and oil in one clean pass.

What Makes the FlexClean Rope Different

Woven between those rubber balls are sponge chambers that hold your cleaning fluid and oil right where you need them. The trick a lot of folks use is loading the front sponge with barrel cleaner and the back sponge with a light coat of oil, so a single pull cleans and conditions in one motion. It pairs naturally with Ballistol liquid, which neutralizes powder residue, the stuff that does the most damage to a bore over time. Since there's no bristle brush involved, you're not dragging anything abrasive down the barrel on those routine after-range wipe-downs.

Using the 20 Gauge FlexClean at the Range or Field

This thing is small enough to live in a range bag, a truck console, or a hunting vest. It works best when the barrel is still warm from shooting but not hot, so a quick pull-through right after your last shot keeps buildup from ever setting in. The maroon color coding and the engraved brass weight make it easy to grab the right size when you've got ropes for a few different guns floating around.

When the rope gets dirty, rinse it in warm soapy water and hang it to dry. The rubber balls, sponges, and cord are all built to shrug off cleaning agents and oils, so this is a reusable tool you'll get years of service out of rather than a one-and-done. For quick, honest-to-goodness field cleaning between deep sessions at the bench, it's tough to beat the convenience.
