Hoppe’s BoreSnake is the fastest bore cleaner on the planet. One pass loosens large particles, scrubs out the remaining residue with a bronze brush, then swabs it all spotless with a cleaning area 160 times larger than a standard patch. Add a few drops of Hoppe’s No 9 Lubricating Oil or Hoppe’s Elite and your gun is ready for storage.
Bore Snake? More like Bored Snake…,
Do not purchase this product if you rely on hours of gun cleaning as your primary mode of entertainment. Since purchasing these bore snakes my cleaning time has been cut to a fraction of what it used to be.. And Now, I’m bored. I got nothing to do. So, to help pass the time, I have written a poem about Bore Snakes.
Ode To Bore Snakes.
Nows that I have Bore Snakes
Much less time to clean it does take
My day is boring, My soul is snoring,
And from my eyes, the tears they are pouring.
So now I don’t know what to do with my life
My last resort may be to spend time with or talk to my wife
Who knew that buying these snakes would be such a huge mistake,
As this much change in my life I never thought these would make.

|Its all that and a bushell sorghum!,
A God-send to shooters! What used to be hours running patches through the bore has been reduced to, at most, 2 passes with the bore snake. I usually scrub with a brush first before I use the snake…this probably isnt necessary, but Im still in denial that gun cleaning can be this easy. I also like to put some Hoppe’s on the floss. I highly recommend having a bore snake for each caliber you have!

|Good Product. Too Bad Its Not The One Pictured,
I use the larger caliber BoreSnake product for my M44 Nagant and Kar98, and it works fantastic. Only thing it didn’t have was that cotton bush at the end for putting solvent on it for cleaning. I could never find one that did – all the shows I went to had the BoreSnake without that bush on the end of it.
So when I saw this product, I jumped on it – this is the one I’ve been looking for!
Of course, when I got it, I was dismayed to see that it was the exact same 10-15$ product I could buy at any local gun store, with no cotton bush at the end. Its just a standard boresnake, as pictured, but without that nice little cotton bush at the end.
I double checked the product description – nothing in there about the picture not being the same as the product. And that is honestly disappointing. I expected what I saw in the picture, and since the description didn’t give me anything to contradict this, thats what I was thinking of when I opened the package.
I feel a bit ripped off – I could have saved myself 6$ shipping by just heading down to the local Big 5 and picking this up for about 12$. Nothing I can do about it – the product works as it needs to, and it still takes solvent, so I have no complaint about usability. I just wish that I knew what I was buying before I did it.
