Whether you're saturating the barrel with solvent or applying oil and preservatives, the ideal tool is a patch guided by a slotted tip. Tipton presents a collection of four caliber-range-specific rifle/pistol tips, available as a set for your convenience or separately. Crafted from solid brass, these tips are softer than barrel steel, eliminating concerns of bore damage, and they boast an extended lifespan compared to typical synthetic plastic tips. The rifle/pistol tips are threaded 8-32, while the shotgun tip is threaded 5/16-27.
