Real Avid Bore-Max Speed Clean System Real Avid’s new line of Bore-Max brushes, jags, and patches have been designed to provide a significantly faster way to clean a gun’s bore with less effort. The company says that with just one pass of the Speed Jag and the Speed Jag Patch, the same results as pushing four or more traditional square patches are achieved. With twice the bristle density of standard brushes, the nickel-plated phosphor bronze bristles of the Bore-Max Speed Brushes deliver over two times the scrubbing power with each pass. And the Speed Jag (with multiple compression rings) and Speed Jag Patches (made of a special synthetic material) are specially sized for optimal compression to reach into the lands and grooves thoroughly and consistently, getting more patch material in the bore while eliminating bunching. Real Avid’s testing proved that the Speed Jag and Speed Jag Patch combination took on average four to five pass-throughs to achieve a clear bore, whereas traditional jag and square patches took on average over 20 pass-throughs to achieve the same results. Those results indicate a significantly faster way to clean a bore with less effort. Caliber options include .22/.223, .243/6mm, .260/6.5mm, .270, .30/7.62mm, .380/9mm, .40, and .45. | $9.99
