Those things are great! I have one for all calibers, .22LR, .40, .38/.357, .308, and a 12GA for the shottie. I havent broke one yet. I keep them in baggies in the range bag.
Now if only they could market a similar device that makes cleaning the rest of the gun that easy...
Brushed it all the time at every cleaning. For some reason, After I clean it, put it in the safe for a month, pull it out, there's a dirty bored again.

What do you use to clean it? Give it a coat of a light lube next time to put it away... A little dab'll do ya...
Wildfire said:I had one that the rope broke off 1/2 way thru my .270 barrel.. WOW .. Guess what.. That is is real treat to get out.
I had to heat a coat hanger to red hot and keep poking it thru till it wore a hole in the thing , so I coulld reverse pull it out. Only happened once. But , I now pay close attention to that.
Yeah, that's my objection to Bore Snakes. They collect dirt.
No the brass brush part is there to scrub and won't harm the barrel. It just combines all the cleaning steps in one snake: wet patch, brass brush, dry patches becomes wet snake head, brass brush, dry snake body.hey to be honest i am new at the whole forum business, i am not even sure how to make my own posting, can anyone help me i bought a Boresnakes and i was wondering if i had to put a piece of material over the brass wire part, i am worried it scratches my barrel ?

...If you do a search, you will find that a number of people have had the stupid things break in their bore....and that removing the broken Bore-Snake is often very complex.
Hey, thanks so much for your responses! One more question: how do you prepare the barrel for cleaning? I.e., should I first spray lube down the barrel, and secondly, which end of the barrel should I put the snake through? FYI I have a glock 19.
