Bore Tech 8-32 to 5/16-27 Rifle to Shotgun Rod Adapter
This adapter allows standard shotgun cleaning tools with 5/16-27 threads to be used on a rifle cleaning rod with 8-32 threads. The male 8-32 end screws into most standard rifle rods, providing a female 5/16-27 thread at the working end for direct attachment of shotgun brushes, jags, and mops.
Constructed from Bore Tech’s Proof-Positive alloy, the adapter is built for durability and consistent performance under repeated use. Ideal for hunters and shooters who own both rifles and shotguns and want to reduce clutter by using a single cleaning rod for both applications.

This adapter saved me space in my cleaning kit. I use the same rifle rod for both my rifle and shotgun maintenance. The fit is solid and the tools stay secure during cleaning. No issues so far.
Dan Ross –
Works well with my existing rifle rod and shotgun brushes. The threading is tight and doesn’t wobble. A small but useful addition to my gear.
Dan North –
Great for hunters who carry multiple firearms. I no longer need to store a separate shotgun rod. The adapter is durable and easy to install.
Ryan Carr –
It fits my rifle rod, but the connection feels slightly loose when using a heavy brush. May need a tighter fit in high-torque situations.
