Description
The Hoppe's Universal Gun Cleaning Kit (UAC76) is the do-it-all box that lives in your range bag or on the workbench. It handles pistols, rifles, and shotguns from a single case, so you're not hunting down a dozen odd bits every time something needs a scrub. Everything nests inside a hard aluminum storage case, which keeps the little parts corralled and makes it easy to grab and go.
Inside you get a 3-piece universal brass cleaning rod that threads together for rifles and shotguns or breaks down short for pistols. The nine phosphor bronze brushes cover .22, .270/7mm, .30, .357/9mm, .40/10mm, and .44/.45, plus 12 gauge, 20 gauge, and .410 bore. Phosphor bronze is the workhorse of bore brushes because it's aggressive enough to lift carbon and copper fouling without chewing up your rifling. Round it out with five swabs and four slotted patch-holding ends sized across the common gauges and calibers, plus brass adapters that let the rod jump from rifle threads to shotgun.
What the UAC76 Covers
The caliber spread is the real draw here. If you own a .22 plinker, a 9mm carry gun, a deer rifle, and a bird gun, this one kit touches all of them. Coverage runs from .22 caliber and up through 12 gauge, which lines up with what most folks actually keep in the safe. It won't reach the tiny .17 bores, but for the meat-and-potatoes lineup it's tough to beat having it all in one place.
Living with the Hoppe's UAC76
The aluminum case measures right around 14 inches long, so it slides into a range bag or drops in a drawer without much fuss. Pair it with a bottle of Hoppe's No. 9 solvent and some oil and you've got a complete cleaning station. It's a smart pickup for a new gun owner building their first kit, and just as handy for the experienced hand who's tired of digging through a coffee can of loose brushes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What calibers does the Hoppe's UAC76 kit clean?
The UAC76 is built for firearms .22 caliber and larger, with brushes covering .22, .270/7mm, .30, .357/9mm, .40/10mm, and .44/.45. On the shotgun side it handles 12 gauge, 20 gauge, and .410 bore. It won't reach the smaller .17 caliber bores, but it covers the calibers most people keep at home.
Does the UAC76 come with cleaning solvent or oil?
No, this is an accessory kit, so it includes the rod, brushes, swabs, and slotted tips but no chemicals. You'll want to add a bore solvent and a gun oil to round out your setup. Hoppe's No. 9 solvent and lubricating oil are the natural pairing if you want to keep it all in the family.
Can I use the Hoppe's UAC76 on both a pistol and a rifle?
Yes. The 3-piece brass rod threads together to reach through a long rifle or shotgun barrel and breaks down short for a handgun. Brass adapters let the rod switch between rifle and shotgun threads, so one kit really does cover the whole lineup.
Are the brushes phosphor bronze or nylon?
The nine bore brushes are phosphor bronze, which is the standard choice for lifting carbon and copper fouling out of a barrel. Bronze bristles are firm enough to do real work while staying softer than the steel of your bore, so they scrub without harming the rifling.
