Abstract: An elongate bore cleaner, such as would be used to clean the inside of a barrel of a gun. The cleaner includes an elongate member, such as a hollow rod, that has a handle at one end and a cleaning member at the other. The handle is rotatably mounted relative to the cleaning member so that the cleaning member can rotate to fully engage the riflings in a gun barrel. The elongate bore cleaner also includes a fluid dispenser, preferably located adjacent the rear portion of the handle, the actuation of which causes fluid to flow through a conduit and out of apertures that are adjacent the cleaning member. Preferably, the fluid dispenser is a squeeze bottle, and the hollow rod serves as the conduit. Squeezing the squeeze bottle causes the cleaning fluid to travel from the squeeze bottle, through the hollow rod, exiting near the end of the rod, adjacent to the cleaning brush.
