BALLISTOL FlexClean Bore Cleaning Rope

BALLISTOL FlexClean is a flexible bore cleaning rope designed for quick, simple and effective interim barrel cleaning.

The cleaning performance is distributed across the three pressure balls, which help apply even pressure inside the barrel and distribute bore cleaner or gun oil effectively. The included special sponges serve as fluid reservoirs for barrel cleaner and/or gun oil, while the cleaning cord removes excess liquid during the pull-through process.

FlexClean is washable, reusable and supplied in a practical transport box. It is designed for fast cleaning without the need for additional felts, patches, brushes or tow.

Fast Cleaning Between Shooting Sessions

FlexClean is designed for quick barrel maintenance between more thorough cleaning sessions. It can be used at the range, during hunting trips or after training when a fast pull-through cleaning method is preferred.

The bore cleaning rope allows the user to clean the barrel in one direction from chamber to muzzle where the firearm design allows it. This helps remove residue, distribute cleaning agent and leave the barrel ready for further maintenance or storage.

Three Pressure Balls for Even Contact

The three calibre-optimised pressure balls provide controlled contact inside the barrel. They help distribute pressure evenly and improve the effect of the applied cleaning liquid or gun oil.

This construction helps achieve consistent mechanical cleaning while keeping the process simple and fast.

Special Sponges for Cleaner and Oil

The two included special sponges act as fluid reservoirs. They can hold barrel cleaner and/or gun oil and distribute it through the bore during cleaning.

The cleaning cord then helps remove excess cleaner or oil immediately, reducing the need for separate patches or additional cleaning accessories during quick maintenance.

Tear-Resistant Pull Cord and Brass Weight

The tear-resistant pull cord is designed for repeated use, while the brass weight makes it easier to feed the cord through the barrel. The brass weight also features an engraved calibre designation for easy identification in a cleaning kit.

Always use the correct calibre version and never force the cleaning rope through the barrel.

Recommended Use

• Quick barrel cleaning between shooting sessions
• Interim bore maintenance at the range
• Use after hunting or sport shooting
• Application of bore cleaner inside the barrel
• Application of gun oil inside the barrel
• Removing excess cleaner or oil

For heavy fouling or long-term firearm storage, a complete cleaning routine with appropriate bore cleaners, oils and inspection may still be required.
