The Bore Snake

I picked up a Bore Snake at Cabelas. I have to say its one of the best inventions for a quick cleaning of a shotgun at the end of a day. I’m not suggesting that it is a substitute for a thorough cleaning, but rather that its a great way to keep a gun clean during a hunting trip.
Its really simple to use, one run through the barrel and the shotgun is pretty well clean. I’ve seen folks use some Hoppes #9 on the end to loosen things up. Its great for in the field cleaning. Comes in several gauges and the best part is its washable – though I’d be sure not to washing any other clothing with it as the little brass brushes would surely make a mess out of them.
