Chrud Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Since the 835 is over-bored, I would need a 10 gauge Bore Snake for it, right? I like them for a final clean after running solvent and dry patches down the barrel. I also tried out some Outers Foaming Bore Cleaner. I think I'd rather stick with Nitro Solvent. Have to wait 30 minutes after applying and it doesn't clean it out real well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonhunter Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Re: Bore Snake for 835 Chrud Id stick to the 12 guage bore snake......I only use mine for the final pass and use a 20 guage model in a 12 and it gets the job done.......I think you would have a #$%^ of a time pulling a 10 guage snake through a 12 guage tube....JMO though.

[/ QUOTE ] Think I'd agree Matt. I think overboring is just past the forcing cone, but not sure (but I'm betting AJ knows ), and therefore most of your barrel is typical 12 gauge dimensions. Otherwise, I think your 12 guage is actually a 10 gauge with a really tight choke on the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Re: Bore Snake for 835 Time to use the executive veto power. Get the 10 ga one. But, its a 12 ga you say. OK I will elaborate. Nominal bore diameter for a 12 ga shotgun is 0.730". The nominal bore diameter of the 10 ga is 0.770". The Mossberg 835 and 935 guns both have bore diameters of 0.775". This bore diameter goes from the end of the forcing cone all the way to the choke. So, lets summarize, since the Mossberg 835/935 has 10 ga bore measurements, you should use the 10 ga cleaning stuff.

[/ QUOTE ] I pulled my 12 guage bore-snake through my Browning 12 gauge! Man! I thought my fingers were going to rip off the first time I tried it! But I see AJ shed some light on this! Cool, so I guess I will need the 10 guage one for the 835. Does that also apply to the cleaning supplies AJ, like the wire brushes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ketchum Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Re: Bore Snake for 835 AJ, WHATS THE BORE ON AN X2 AND A BROWNING GOLD 3.5? IS IT THE SAME AS THE MOSSBERGS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Re: Bore Snake for 835 Nope, they use the regular 12 ga one. They do have backbored barrels but they are .740" or so. I have a custom Stan Baker unsingle for my 3200 and it has a .745" bore and the plain old 12 ga snake works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gobblergetter15 Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Re: Bore Snake for 835 I agree with AJ go with 10 gauge one because the 835 and 935 are overbored to a 10 gauge diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
