Mauser bore brush
Mauser bore brush
Picked up my first Mauser the other day, a yugo 24/47. What size bore brush do I use to clean it. I know 8mm is equlivant to .3149. Is a 30 cal brush too small?

Most '30 cal bore brushes will be too small, I use ones intended for my .38/.357 revolvers, they fit well.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Get a .32 caliber brush.

I use the 8mm/.338 brush for that. I also use them on rough bore Mosins that need a good scrub.

Re: Mauser bore brush
Yep, I had forgot about this but I needed to make an order go over a certain amount for free shipping and added one made by Montana-X-treme. It says 8mm/.325/.338 NY-TOUGH on the pack. I'm not familiar with the brand but it was cheap enough.Rongo wrote:I use the 8mm/.338 brush for that. I also use them on rough bore Mosins that need a good scrub.
