Description
The DAC GunMaster .17 Cal Rifle Cleaning Kit is a no-nonsense little setup for keeping a .17 caliber (.177) rifle running the way it should. Instead of loading you down with parts you'll never touch, it sticks to the essentials sized specifically for the .17 bore, so you're not fighting an oversized brush or a rod that doesn't fit right. The whole thing lives in a clear-top molded clamshell case, which means it travels well and everything stays put between cleanings.
What Sets the GunMaster .17 Kit Apart
The star here is the multi-function handle. It works with a traditional rod, pulls double duty as a pull-cord handle, and also functions as a screwdriver-style driver for the included bits. That flexibility matters with a barrel this small, since a lot of folks prefer running a pull cord through a delicate .17 bore rather than muscling a rigid rod down it. The 32-inch pull cord gives you plenty of length to pull a patch or the phosphor bronze brush cleanly through and out the muzzle end.
Bore Care Built for the .17
You get a phosphor bronze brush for cutting through fouling, a mop for that final pass, and a plastic slotted tip for running patches. There are 25 patches in the box to get you through plenty of range trips before you need a refill. Phosphor bronze is the sweet spot for a rimfire this size, tough enough to scrub out carbon and copper without chewing up the rifling.
A Kit That Earns Its Spot in the Bag
Rounding it out is a 6-piece driver bit set, handy for tightening scope rings, action screws, or swapping optics without digging through a toolbox. Owners tend to like that this kit skips the flimsy packaging some competitors use and puts everything in a case that actually holds up over time. Worth noting, it does not include solvent or oil, so you'll want to pair it with your favorite bore cleaner. As a primary kit for a .17 HMR or .17 WSM plinker, or a backup to toss in the truck, it covers the basics well.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the GunMaster .17 kit come with bore solvent or gun oil?
No, this kit does not include any solvent or oil. It's built around the cleaning tools themselves, so you'll want to add your own bore cleaner and lubricant. Pairing it with a good solvent like a Hoppe's-style cleaner rounds out everything you need for a full cleaning.
Will this kit work for .17 HMR and .17 WSM rifles?
Yes, it's sized for the .17 caliber (.177) bore, so it fits popular rimfire and centerfire .17s including .17 HMR and .17 WSM. The brush, mop, and slotted tip are all matched to that bore diameter. Just remember it's caliber-specific, so it won't cross over to larger calibers.
How does the pull cord work on the GunMaster .17 kit?
The 32-inch pull cord threads through the bore from the chamber end, and you attach a patch, brush, or mop before pulling it out the muzzle. A lot of owners prefer this method for a delicate .17 barrel since it keeps a rigid rod from contacting the rifling. The cord is on the stiff side, which actually helps it feed through cleanly.
What are the driver bits good for?
The 6-piece bit set covers Phillips, flat head, star, and hex, which handles most of the small hardware on a rifle. It's handy for snugging up scope ring screws, action screws, or mounting an optic without hunting down a separate tool. The multi-function handle doubles as the driver, so it all stays together in one case.
