Description
Small-bore rimfires deserve regular care, and the DAC UGC172 Universal Cleaning Kit gives you the essentials to keep a .17 or .22 running smooth without buying a drawer full of odds and ends. This is a straightforward set aimed at routine maintenance: run a patch, scrub the bore, wipe things down, and get back to shooting. It packs into a clamshell case that doubles as storage, so nothing rattles loose between cleanings.
What Comes in the DAC UGC172 Kit
The UGC172 includes three solid brass cleaning rods that thread together, a handle, a .17 caliber wire brush, a .17 caliber mop, and a .22 caliber wire brush. Brass rods are the reason a lot of folks reach for this kit. Brass is softer than steel, so it is far gentler on rifling and crown than harder materials, which matters a lot on a precision .17 or a favorite plinking .22.
Who the DAC Universal Cleaning Kit Fits
This one is built around the small-bore rimfire crowd. Think .17 HMR, .17 Mach 2, .22 LR, and other .22 rimfire rifles and pistols. If you own a bolt-action .17, a semi-auto .22 plinker, or a rimfire handgun, the calibers here line up. It is a sensible pick as a first cleaning kit, a backup to toss in a truck or range bag, or a gift for someone who just picked up their first .22.
Keeping It Simple and Portable
The appeal of the DAC UGC172 is that it does the basics well and stays out of the way. There is no oversized case to haul around and no components you will never touch. Pair it with your bore solvent and a patch of choice, and you have a tidy little maintenance setup that handles the after-range wipe-down and keeps a rimfire barrel in good shape season after season.

Frequently Asked Questions
What calibers does the DAC UGC172 cleaning kit cover?
The kit is built for small-bore rimfires in the .17 to .22 caliber range. That covers popular rounds like .17 HMR, .17 Mach 2, and .22 LR in both rifles and pistols. If your firearm falls in that band, the included brushes and mop are sized to match.
Why does the DAC UGC172 use brass rods?
Brass is softer than steel, so it is much gentler on your rifling and crown during cleaning. That is a big deal on precision .17 barrels and rimfire bores where you want to avoid scratching. The three-piece design threads together so you can build the length you need for the barrel you are cleaning.
Is this DAC kit a good starter cleaning setup?
It is a solid pick for a first rimfire cleaning kit or a backup to keep in a range bag. It covers the basics for routine after-range maintenance without a lot of extra gear you may never use. Just add your preferred bore solvent and cleaning patches and you are set.
Does the DAC UGC172 come with a case?
Yes, everything packs into a durable clamshell case. It keeps the rods, brushes, and mop organized and doubles as storage between cleanings, which makes it easy to grab and go.
