Bore Snake for Cleaning Firearms - 11/06/19 01:50 PM
How many of you use a Boresnake? I have one but I'm not entirely convinced it is cleaning as advertised. Or maybe it is and I can't tell. People who have one have ranted and raved about it or sworn by it. So, those of you who have one:
1) Do you use solvent on it at all? If so, where on the Boresnake do you put it? On the plain braided part? On the braided part that has the copper bristles?
2) How many passes do you take with the Boresnake?
3) How do you know that the bore is now clean? Do you run a patch through it? Is the patch supposed to be completely white afterwards, or is a little grey on it OK?
