This item is not a new idea. Using rope, twine and string with a patch or brush has been used since breech loading firearms were introduced. However, the bore snake combines both with the technology of nylon and good old cotton to go one better on bore rods, patches and brushes. By combining all three, a massive amount of time is saved cleaning your rifle or shotgun as one pass with the bore snake is like 20-30 with a normal rod and patch set-up. Get at least two of these for all your calibers, rifles, shotguns and pistols. They can also be easily washed with soap and water, dried and reused for thousands of gun cleanings!

The weighted end is not heavy enough to pull the draw string through the bore. It took me nearly five minutes to physically push the draw string through the barrel. Once it came out the other end, it was extremely difficult to pull it through the bore. There are quite a few instances of the draw string on these Bore Snakes breaking or, the Bore Snake itself becoming bunched up and lodging in rifle barrels. If it does this, there is no way to remove it with damaging the bore. In light of the aforementioned, I believe I'll stick with the tried and true method of barrel cleaning.

These have been around for a long time, but this is the first I've bought one. It's easy to use and really works. You're still going to need to run a dry patch through it with your normal kit before you shoot. Best things about this item - fits in your pocket and it's gentle on the barrel.

When new, the BoreSnake fits a bit tight and requires significant force to pull it through the gun's bore. After a few passes, it became easier to pull. It does a great job and takes a lot less time than traditional bore cleaning systems. I'll be looking to get additional BoreSnakes for my other rifles and maybe even the pistols. Highly recommended.
