Differences Between Good Gun Brushes and Badly Made Brushes

Not all gun cleaning brushes are made the same. They can of course be made out of the same materials but the trick lies with the construction of the actual bristles themselves. The bristles need to be sitting neatly in a spiral form around the wire of the brush head so that when inserted and removed from the gun barrel the entire brush is allowed to rotate as it follows the path of the barrel rifling; otherwise the brush elements (which should be phosphor bronze) will skip over the lands and grooves instead of maximising contact with them. Neatness in construction is key.
