Does somebody make a brush for cleaning the magazine well in a .22?

I just use a nylon brush like comes free with a lot of new centerfire handguns. I can't see the need for a special tool.

I insert a smallish rag in one end and pull it up or down through. If there's still crud in there I use a GI-type 'toothbrush' and reinsert the rag.

Small end of the GI cleaning brush like this:

Tooth brush has worked pretty well for me.

You can even get them in little kid sizes.

Just buy a bottle brush or a tube brush.
These have handles that fit into the magazine better then a toothbrush does.

Brownell's sell actual magazine brushes. The first shown is for single stack mags from .22 to 9mm.

You clean the mag well?

How about a garden hose? It works great, just do it on a sunny day so it can dry out.

Shoot yeah. The upper portion near the chamber gets coated in burned powder residue. Blowback rimfire pistols aren't exactly tidy guns.

Regarding what I use for cleaning rimfire magwells as well as magazines, I just insert a .45 sized cleaning patch into a small slotted tip on the end of a section of cleaning rod and use that. I wet the patch with some plain Hoppe's cleaner to attract the soot and follow up with dry patches. I've used a GI brush as well, as needed.

I do the same with centerfire pistols.

.30 cal nylon brush dipped in CLP run up and down, then a rag on the rod to finish.

This is what I use
