Bore Snake Review

[Cushat]

I've been meaning to do this for a while, but eventually pulled my finger out and took a few photos to support a review of Bore Snake gun cleaner.

 

1) Squirt of gun cleaner up the bore (cleaning an auto in the pictures):

 

 

 

2) 2 pieces of scrunched up loo roll to take the thick out:

 

 

 

 

3) Repeat steps 1) & 2)

 

4) 2 passes with the bore snake:

 

 

 

5) And now to see how effective the bore snake is 1/4 of a piece of kitchen roll wrapped around a dry mop:

 

 

 

6) The results of the first pass:

 

 

 

7) Repeated with a clean piece of kitchen roll - 2nd pass:

 

 

 

So in my opinion, Bore Snakes may be ok for a quick pull through in the field, but they aren't a shortcut to proper gun cleaning. Others may disagree though...
