Default 5/16-27 threads

I was looking to buy some bore cleaning brushes to clean out small
holes, have some in .38 cal. Well I found out the larger shotgun bore
brushes have a 5/16-27 thread on them, thought this to be very
strange, the smaller ones are a standard 8-32.

Where did a 5/16-27 come from? common on other gun stuff?

Good place to buy them cheap? or other small wire brushes to use
instead of bore brushes?

Thank You,
Randy

5/16-27 is a British, gas (brass pipe) thread. Might not be of any help
though...
