Abstract: An apparatus for cleaning the bore of a firearm barrel includes an elongated flexible pull cord having a handle on a first end and a cleaning head on the second end. A pull weight is also attached to at the second end of the pull cord next to the cleaning head. The pull weight is dropped into and through the barrel. The cleaning head is then attached to the second end of the cord near the pull weight, and the user grasps the handle and pulls the cleaning through the bore. The cleaning head includes at least two distinct sections: a first for scraping debris off the interior wall of the bore, and a second for scrubbing the bored wall. Additional sections can be provided like an additional scraping section after the scrubbing section, such that the scrubbing section forms a medial section sandwiched between the two scraping sections.

Abstract: An apparatus for cleaning the longitudinal bore of a firearm includes an elongated pull cord which is partially disclosed within a cord cleaning head. A pull weight is attached to the pull cord and has a cross section less than the cross section of the bore of the firearm. The pull weight is dropped into one end of the barrel and is grasped and pulls the cleaning head through the bore. An engagement member has one end of the pull cord secured thereto and in proximity to the cleaning head and engages the cleaning head to enable the pulling of the cleaning head through the bore. In another embodiment hereof, the pull cord comprises a heavy cable which enables replacement of the pull weight. According to this embodiment, a heavy metal cable stop has the cable secured thereto at one end thereof. The cable stop is positioned rearwardly of the engagement member.
