  • Patent number: 9995554
    Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for cleaning the internal bore of the barrel of a firearm, is provided. More specifically, an apparatus, system and method is provided for efficiently and effective cleaning the bore of a firearm, wherein a cleaning cloth or patch is easily attached and removed from the body of the apparatus using a magnetic attachment. The cleaning cloth drapes over the body of the apparatus, which then fits tight, but moveable, within the bore for maximum contact with the interior surface. The result is an improved firearm cleaning apparatus that not only provides for more effective and less time consuming cleaning, but it also requires less cleaning cloths and solvent, which results in less waste and thus is more environmentally friendly.
