tp793 Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Re: A rope to piull through shotgun barrels. Bore snakes are inexpensive and do the job better then any rope your gonna find. Really simple to use also.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Re: A rope to piull through shotgun barrels. Boresnakes are ok for a quick clean up. But I would get a good cleaning kit! Something that can clean the bore and remove all the lead build up, then finish with a good thin film of oil! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Re: A rope to piull through shotgun barrels. I too would use something other than just a bore snake. If it is corroded or has not been cleaned after a lot of shots, give the bore a thorough cleaning with solvent, brushing, and patches. It may have a lot of plastic wad fouling. It will perform better. After every couple boxes of ammo or daily when the shooting is done, you can use the bore snake to clean the gunk out of the bore. I sugggest treating the bore with Slip 2000. It makes future cleanups easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PSEHUNTER087 Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Re: A rope to piull through shotgun barrels. I actually just got 2 bore snakes for my .22 and am working on getting a couple for my 12 guage, i use one for the first two passes to clean out the powder and have another that i pass through after using a rod to finish the job, i love them!!
