Noveske recommends against using a "GI" chamber brush because it has a steel core loop which they say could damage the throat of the chamber.   I thought it was a bit nit picky but decided what the hay I'll just buy several brushes with a bronze or brass core.

Problem is I cannot find them anywhere.  Do they exist?

Or should I just be careful like I have been with the GI brush which seems to do the trick.

I get mine from Brownells and they have a brass core, I can't seem to find it on the website right now.

Otis also sells them:  http://www.otisgun.com/cgistore/store.cgi?page=/new/product.html&setup=1&ida=85&idp=2&his=0|2&cart_id=6644592.7828

Not sure why this one costs 3 times as much, might want to call and ask:

There is a difference in the threads between an M16 and AR15 chamber brush, unless you're using a GI cleaning rod you want the AR15 version.  Otis calls both of these"'M16", again, you should probably call.

Dewey's has the "no harm" bronze bore brushes but their chamber brushes have the same common steel core.

When you said Brownells I also looked over at Sinclair with no success.
