[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1262375, member: 4566"] I gave them a shot when they first came out as I had to clean a lot of guns for my business and many of them were BARs and other stuff you cant clean properly. What cured me of them for my rifles was cleaning them. I could never get them 100% clean. Even after cleaning them and spending more time cleaning the snake than the barrel I would soak them and agitate and even a "clean" one would show junk in the container I was cleaning them in. That being said I am super anal about my barrels and probably overthink it. I also don't like running that much surface area of anything over my crowns. One thing I thought they might excel for would be a truly fouled barrel. Soak them in copper or carbon killer and pull them in and let them sit for a while versus plugging the barrel and filling with solution. Then I started worrying about anything as nasty as copper killer reacting in the barrel with the snake. Yeah I'm probably nuts. [/QUOTE]
