Hoppe's 24011 BoreSnake .22 cal. Centerfire & Rimfire, 5.56mm Rifle Bore Cleaner

I use the larger caliber BoreSnake product for my M44 Nagant and Kar98, and it works fantastic. Only thing it didn't have was that cotton bush at the end for putting solvent on it for cleaning. I could never find one that did - all the shows I went to had the BoreSnake without that bush on the end of it.

So when I saw this product, I jumped on it - this is the one I've been looking for!

Of course, when I got it, I was dismayed to see that it was the exact same 10-15$ product I could buy at any local gun store, with no cotton bush at the end. Its just a standard boresnake, as pictured, but without that nice little cotton bush at the end.

I double checked the product description - nothing in there about the picture not being the same as the product. And that is honestly disappointing. I expected what I saw in the picture, and since the description didn't give me anything to contradict this, thats what I was thinking of when I opened the package...Read more

A God-send to shooters! What used to be hours running patches through the bore has been reduced to, at most, 2 passes with the bore snake. I usually scrub with a brush first before I use the snake...this probably isnt necessary, but Im still in denial that gun cleaning can be this easy. I also like to put some Hoppe's on the floss. I highly recommend having a bore snake for each caliber you have!

The Hoppes Boresnakes are wonderful for cleaning rifle barrels. I use this in my AR15, along with a little CLP, and it does a fantastic job. Simply slide the metal tipped end in from the bore out the front of the barrel, and then pull it through. The other end has several metal cleaning brushes sewn into the material. They slide down the barrel and clean it right up. Remember to always pull in the direction that the bullet travels (bore to muzzle).
