Swab-its® .25cal / 6.5mm Bore-tips®
Made in the USA 🇺🇸
Each package includes (6) caliber-specific Bore-tips®, engineered to deliver true 100% bore contact for superior firearm cleaning and lubrication. Designed as a modern replacement for patches and mops, Swab-its® foam Bore-tips® spread solvents and oils more evenly and efficiently—without leaving lint or fibers behind.
Manufactured from durable, non-abrasive foam, Bore-tips® safely engage the lands and grooves of the rifling and can be run in both directions without damaging the barrel. Their high absorbency means less solvent or lubricant is required, reducing mess while improving control and consistency during cleaning.
Washable and reusable, Swab-its® Bore-tips® provide long-lasting performance and exceptional value. Each tip threads easily onto a standard cleaning rod with 8/32 threading, making them a simple, frustration-free upgrade from traditional patch-and-jag systems.
Bore-tips® cylindrical foam applicators are used in engine and powertrain environments to clean, wipe, and apply fluids inside precision-machined bores.
The .25cal size is ideal for oil passages, lifter bores, and cylinder bores where uniform 360° contact is required without scratching or fiber contamination.
Made from lint-free foam, Bore-tips® support contamination-sensitive engine assembly and rebuild processes where repeatability and surface protection matter.
Made in the USA.
