Description
Cleaning a rifle is one of those chores that always seems to make a bigger mess than the shooting did. Dirty patches pile up, solvent drips onto the bench, and by the time you're done the whole room smells like a chemistry lab. The Bore Tech Patch Hog was the first product built to solve that problem, and years later it's still the one everybody copies. It's a simple idea done right: a molded fitting that turns any plastic water or soda bottle into a disposable catch-all for your spent patches and solvent runoff.
Setup takes about ten seconds. The Patch Hog slides over the muzzle and locks on with a thick, custom-molded rubber grommet that won't scratch your crown or finish. There are no clamps to fight with, no straps to snap, and no screws to lose. That grommet grips barrels up to two inches in diameter and clears most iron sights, so it works across your long guns without any fuss.
Why the Patch Hog Beats a Rag on the Bench
The top of the unit is threaded to accept most standard-size plastic bottles, the kind you already have in the recycling bin. Spin one on, run your patches through, and everything that comes out the muzzle gets captured right in the bottle. That means no chemical splatter on your table, carpet, or walls, and no windblown patches rolling across the range floor. It keeps solvent fumes contained too, which is a real plus if you're cleaning indoors near the family.
Cleanup With the Patch Hog Is the Best Part
When you're finished, just unscrew the bottle, cap it with the original lid, and throw the whole thing away. You never have to touch a soaked patch again. The Patch Hog itself is reusable, so you're only ever swapping out a free bottle. A handy trick from longtime users: cut a small window in the bottle if you want to inspect your patches mid-clean or reuse the same bottle. It's a small, well-built tool that quietly makes bore cleaning a lot less miserable.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Patch Hog attach to my rifle?
It slides right over the muzzle and holds on with a thick, custom-molded rubber grommet, so there are no clamps, straps, or screws involved. The grommet is non-scratching and grips barrels up to two inches in diameter. It even clears most iron sights, so you don't have to remove anything to use it.
What kind of bottle does the Patch Hog use?
The top is threaded to fit most standard-size plastic water or soda bottles, the same ones you'd toss in the recycling. You just spin a bottle on, run your patches through, and the whole thing catches your spent patches and solvent runoff. When you're done, cap the bottle and throw it out.
Does the Patch Hog help with solvent smell and mess?
That's exactly what it's built for. It captures chemical splatter and dirty patches inside the bottle instead of leaving them on your bench or in the trash, and it helps keep solvent fumes contained. Users who clean indoors often mention it keeps the odor and mess out of the house.
Is the Patch Hog reusable?
Yes, the Patch Hog unit itself is reusable and only the plastic bottle gets thrown away. Since the bottles are free and easy to come by, your ongoing cost is basically nothing. A common tip is to cut a small window in the bottle if you'd like to inspect patches mid-clean or reuse the same bottle.
