Questions & Answers
I like how the den keeps my snake clean from my pack's debris and dirt. It also prevents your bristles from being smashed flat. I got a dozen small canvas pouches and stuffed one into each of them. Inside, there are two dens of various calibers, as well as a small bottle of lube, a small punch tool, and a plastic pry tool. Then I put one bag in my bugout bag, range bag, truck, and so on. It beats the hell out of not cleaning your firearm, and in most cases, more intensive maintenance is only needed once in a while. br>Another benefit that isn't immediately apparent until you've used a snake is that the handle makes pulling it through the thickest part of the action much easier.

The, in my opinion. The number 22 belongs to the. 223 as well, but only if you're using it on. Because of the looser fit, it would probably not scrub as well at 25.

That is not my opinion; I believe these are of far superior quality. br>br>In the future, I'll simply pay the small difference and get Hoppes. Plus, the "den" is a nice bonus that hangs nicely on my cork board. br>br>Definitely recommend these for their overall quality and ability to last for cleaning after cleaning. br>br>*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** If you found my review useful, please consider clicking the "helpful" button below when it asks if it was useful!.
We were skeptical after seeing advertisements for the Boresnake and its knockoffs for quite some time, as well as testimonials and manufacturer videos. Is the Boresnake reusable, or do we have to discard it after one use like patches? There's also no mention of the need to prepare ahead of time. It appears that the Boresnake and Hoppe's CLP are all that is required to clean the bore before use. Keeping our skeptic hats on, we decided to put a Boresnake to the test, and to do so in the exact same way that Hoppe demonstrated in his on-line video. videos on the internet br>br>The product pictured is Hoppe's Boresnake, which came in a snake "den" - The snake is kept in a plastic box with a pull handle on the lid. Boresnakes come in a variety of sizes and shapes. This one is for 9 mm, so it's quite specific. 357, . 38 Spl. , 380 Spl. , 380 Spl. , 380 Spl. , The barrel in this picture is from a S. W M& P 380 Shield EZ, which had just returned from the range after firing 40 Hornady 90-grain rounds. XTP ammo (grains) We fed the lead through the breech end of the barrel, attached the pull handle to the lead, and then pulled the snake through the barrel after prepping the Boresnake with CLP as shown in the videos. When we held the barrel up to the light afterward, it appeared clean and shiny on the inside, so we cleaned it again. Then we got down to business with our old cleaning tools - Brushes, patches, and a jag, as well as Hoppe's 9 solvent and Hoppe's gun oil. The first patch, soaked in 9 solvent, emerged from the bore looking as if it had never been cleaned before - Look at the photos. The patches were cleaned as usual with the tools provided until they were clean. Our findings - br>br> Boresnake use can result in a bore that appears to be clean. seen from afar After the "snake bite," and again after traditional cleaning methods, a bore light clearly revealed the Boresnake's limitations. And what about cleaning up after our next range visit? Is it necessary to wash the snake between uses, or can we just drag the filth from previous uses back through the bore? The twenty dollars spent on the Boresnake with Den, in our opinion, would be better spent on oil, solvent, and patches. as well as a little elbow grease.
Although I haven't used it yet, I believe this snake will work well. The thing that irritates me is that when I first looked at the snake, it said there was a newer version available, so I clicked on that, looked at it, and ordered the newer version. But instead of the newer version snake that I ordered, I received the original version snake that I first saw. Furthermore, I had assumed Hoppe's was an American-made product, but it appears that it is now manufactured in Mexico. There will be no more Hoppe's for me.
Hoppe's original BoreSnake with Den is a high-quality product, and I appreciate the den for storing the hard bristles. After doing some research, I can confirm that I received the correct and most recent version of the caliber I ordered, but it is incorrectly pictured, as some others have pointed out. I believe the stock photo is of a shotgun (large bore) with a fuzz ball and multicolored rope. I believe the fuzz ball would be a good idea for all calibers and bore sizes, but it is possible that it was not feasible to make for smaller calibers.
Boresnakes are a fantastic creature. br>br>I bought this to fill a gap in my cleaning supplies. Boresnakes have been my go-to quick clean for years when I don't want to pull out the whole kit and just want to do a quick clean, such as between rounds when shooting with family and friends. br>br>They appear to provide a tight fit, and while I don't think it's a complete substitute for a full cleaning, it does a great job of pulling the gun's nasty out through the breech to the bore. It's even a part of my regular cleaning routine. br>br>.
It's a bore snake, that's for sure! What is there not to like about it? Without field stripping the gun, this is ideal for a quick mid-session or post-session clean out at the range. For every gun I own, I have one of these. If I don't already have one for a particular caliber, it's always the first accessory I purchase for a new gun. They appear to go on and on indefinitely. If you haven't heard of them before, here's a quick rundown. You should buy one to correct this. You will not be sorry.
When I was in training a few years ago, I came across these. They did an excellent job, in my opinion. Until I got my hands on a bore scope, that is! I reverted to patching and cleaning with a rod. They're useful for applying a coat of oil to the bore and removing water or dirt, but not for a thorough clean.
Many snakes are simply shipped in cellophane or other packaging. When the snake is in your range bag, it is kept clean in the container.
