Hi all,
I am new to the site. and a new owner of a stag arms model 4 . I was wondering what everbody thinks of bore snakes. i have recently purchased one. i have yet to use it. i am not sure of the best way of using. do you use dry or like regular cleaning with patches, cleaner and oil?. any thoughts and info would be greatly appreciated. thanks |
| Just always feed it through from the chamber to the muzzle. For my AR's I use it dry before using patches to clean and lube. It removes most of the gunk before the clean/lube process. For old military rifles and after shooting corrosive ammo boresnakes work great soaked in ammonia/water solution. Pull thru a few times then clean and lube with patches. Great tool for the purpose. |
| I keep one in my rifle case. I pull it through the barrel just before I shoot. That way, I know that the barrel is clear. That bore is not very large; I've heard stories about spiders, bugs, oil running down from the action, and god only knows what else causing at least a partial bore obstruction. I feel safer doing this. |
