Frequently Asked Questions

Is the AVBB9MM suitable for both 9 mm pistols and .357 revolvers?

Yes. The manufacturer has designated this model for 9 mm, .38, and .357 caliber handguns. Always check the markings on your firearm and cleaning tool before use.

Does this cleaning rope also clean the chambers of a revolver cylinder?

The cleaning rope is primarily intended for the barrel bore. The chambers of a revolver cylinder should be cleaned separately with an appropriate brush or patch system.

Is the AVBB9MM suitable for a 9 mm carbine?

The AVBB9MM is the handgun version with a short cable. For a 9 mm carbine, choose the longer-cable AVBB9MM-CAR or another cleaning tool specifically marked for carbines by the manufacturer.

How often should the cleaning rope itself be washed?

Clean it when the braided section is visibly dirty or no longer absorbs residue well. The rope must be completely dry before placing it back in the storage case.

When is the Real Avid Bore Boss AVBB9MM the right choice?

This model is suitable for quick barrel maintenance of 9 mm, .38, or .357 caliber handguns. For thorough cleaning of revolver chambers, the slide of a pistol, or heavily soiled barrels, additional brushes, patches, and appropriate tools are needed. For a 9 mm carbine, choose the longer-cable AVBB9MM-CAR.

We recommend

Before cleaning, remove the magazine, open the firearm action, and visually and physically check that the chamber is empty. In the case of a revolver, check each cylinder chamber separately. Store ammunition in a different location during cleaning.

The Bore Boss is practical for quick barrel maintenance but does not automatically clean the pistol slide, chamber exterior, or revolver cylinder. Use appropriate brushes and patches for these parts. If the rope gets stuck or moves unusually hard, do not use force—check the caliber, for obstructions, and the condition of the cleaning tool. After use, clean the rope and let it dry completely before closing the Flex-Case. For carbines, always use the longer cable version designed for that purpose.
