[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 71704, member: 3"] A bore snake is a good item for a hunt or tactical (military) "get the mud/muck/sand out" of the barrel item. It's a lot handier to carry along than a 48" metal rod and a bag of solvent bottles. I generally carry an Otis type cleaning kit on hunts. Small like a BoreSnake but also tough enough to push through a bore to clear muck and mud, has a little bottle of "magic" stuff for "wet" cleaning. You can also use the jag to clean sort of like a conventional cleaning rod. Using a boresnake on a barrel is a bit like sweeping a linoleum floor, you can get the big stuff. Using a good one-piece cleaning rod, chamber guide, solvent, bronze brush (lots of strokes), copper remover/solvent and such is more akin to doing a good soap and water mop-up of that linoleum every now and again. It'll make things a lot happier on the inside of the barrel (or house) and you'll feel better too [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. P. S. Keep the boresnake, put it in a ziplok bag and bring it along on hunts. [/QUOTE]
