Breech brush
« on: August 28, 2025, 04:31:40 PM »
If you like this type of breech brush, and use them, and you know where there are any, buy them. They're as scarce as hens teeth. I think they work really well in the patent breech. I found one and bought it. I now have enough to keep me going till I kick the bucket. [ Invalid Attachment ]

Tom,
IIRC, those were manufactured by Mountain State Muzzleloading.
That in turn became Cain Outdoors.
It appears they are still in business:

It appears their website has been hijacked, as clicking on it takes you to Istanbul Escort Service.  pretty darn explicit.  Click there if you dare.  Some of those gals do not have any secrets.

As far as the breech brush goes, try this link.  It connects you to their eBay site and that item.

Thanks for the info John, but I bought the last one The Gun Works Emporium had. So I will have 1 new one (if I get it), and 3 used ones. But if there is someone out there looking for one, they may want to follow your leads. Furthermore, with my computer illiteracy, I'd probably get hooked up with that escort service. And that ain't my cup of tea.

With all that being said, I think I still prefer the standard breech plug cleaner, which looks like a flat blade screwdriver on steroids.
I have never had a problem with patent breeches having to be cleaned out with a breech brush or a .32 cal bore brush. Just submerging the breech end of the barrel into a soup can half full of bore solvent (my preference is Ol' Thunder) always seems to do the job.
This ain't rocket science, why make it more complicated than it has to be.
