WEAPONS CARE SYSTEM PELLETS Reviews & Ratings

Innovative and efficient system cleans rifle and handgun barrels with a minimum of effort and mess. Slip two felt pellets on the cleaning rod adapter, apply your favorite solvent and push through the bore to rapidly scrub out dirt and fouling. Pellets fit snugly to easily follow the rifling for fast, efficient cleaning; as you withdraw the rod, the front pellet falls off while the rear pellet polishes the bore. Lets you apply oil, cleaning solvents, J-B® Bore Cleaner or Moly Bore Paste easily with minimal mess.

Plain pellets are made from a highly absorbent, hardened felt

Super Intensive pellets also have interwoven brass fibers for even greater scrubbing action to quickly clean heavily fouled barrels. All require cleaning rod adapter. SPECS: Felt, white. 3/8' (9.5mm) long.

They work

I used the VGF felt pellets J-B Non-Embedding Bore Cleaning Compound with the Kroil Oil and V J-B Non-Embedding Bore Cleaning Compound as shown in the Brownells' videos. It appears to have worked as advertised, the bore is bright and shiny.

Did not work great for me :(

Well, they say "your mileage may vary," and mine did. I thought these would be good for cleaning the bores of my vintage trap guns after use. The problem turns out to be full-choke bores. For semi-auto shotguns, you have to clean from the muzzle (unless you take the barrels off). It was hard to get the pellets through the full-choke muzzles. When cleaning break-open guns from the breech, the pellets went in fine and were a tight fit, but they were hard to get through the muzzle. And it was not possible to pull the "screwed on" base pellet back into the muzzle - the fit was too tight and it just pulled off. Maybe I should have kept the back pellet from exiting the bore? I'll try that next time since I'm now the proud owner of 50 of these ;) These would certainly work better in bores with little or no choke. I do like the concept, though and am hoping for better results in my rifles (no chokes to deal with).

They work

They perform well. I use a modified string to pull the pellets through the chamber in my semi auto. Keeps gunk out of the action. Using two pellets works best, tighter fit.
