A .45 caliber bore is wide - and all that internal surface needs solvent delivered evenly and fouling absorbed thoroughly. This .45 caliber cotton bore mop does exactly that. Fits .45 ACP, .45 Colt, .45-70 Government, and .454 Casull bores. 100% cotton fibers wrap the bore walls completely, soaking up dirty solvent and the residue suspended in it.

Pistol shooters running .45 ACP deal with heavy lead residue; .45-70 lever gun owners face both lead and copper. After the bore brush loosens it, this gun cleaning mop is how you actually remove it from the barrel. A solvent-soaked pass absorbs the debris, and a follow-up oiled pass lays down a protective film that prevents corrosion between sessions.

Wash with solvent or hot water when the cotton gets saturated, air dry, and it's ready for the next session. Whether you're cleaning a 1911, a .45 Colt revolver, or a .45-70 lever gun - one bore cleaning mop handles the full gun cleaning finish.

A .45 caliber bore mop fits firearms with a .451-.458 inch bore: .45 ACP, .45 Colt (Long Colt), .45 GAP, .454 Casull, and .45-70 Government. Note: .44 Magnum and .44 Special have a smaller bore (.429"), so a .45 mop will be oversized for them - use a dedicated .44 caliber mop for the best fit. Cotton fibers flex more than brass jags, so a .45 mop can work in a .44 bore in a pinch, but it won't be as effective as the correct size.

They serve different roles. A bore snake is a quick one-pass field tool - convenient, but limited in how much solvent it carries and how many times you can use it before it's saturated with fouling. A bore mop on a cleaning rod lets you apply fresh solvent on every pass and control exactly how many strokes you run. For a thorough bench cleaning of a .45, the mop is the better tool.

Not recommended. The small mop can get tangled, and the steel or brass stem can damage the machine drum. Hand-wash instead: soak in solvent or hot soapy water, squeeze gently, and air dry. This takes under a minute and preserves the mop's shape and cotton density. Machine washing also risks contaminating the machine with lead residue from the fouling absorbed in the mop.

Solvent-soaked mop first (to soften fouling), then bore brush (5-10 passes to scrub), then a clean solvent mop (to absorb loosened residue), then dry patches on a jag (to verify the bore is clean), then a lightly oiled mop (to protect against rust). This five-step sequence handles the heavy carbon and lead fouling that .45 ACP produces.

The bore mop will fit through cylinder chambers, but for the best contact with the wider chamber walls, use a bore mop or brush one size up. Carbon rings form at the mouth of each chamber - especially in .45 Colt revolvers shot with shorter .45 Schofield rounds. A snug-fitting mop with solvent breaks up these carbon rings before they cause sticky extraction.
