Brass bore brush bristles

[Deleted noremaximus]

Was cleaning my barrel, and about 5 bristles broke inside the barrel. Tried to flush it out, but not working. Using a nylon brush next to try and take them out. Anything bad would happen if I try and fire a round with the 5 bristles inside? First time this happens to me. Thanks.

Just to confirm, you can see the bristles still in the bore?

Something in the bore is a partial barrel obstruction. Get it out before you try to force a bullet through.

Thanks, I was able to get them out with a chamber mop.

It happens, especially with value brushes. Tipton "Best" bore brushes don't do that. Wet patch or two should get them out.

Oops, looks like we doubled. Glad it worked out for you.
