The Bore Snake is an all in one bore cleaning tool that pulls through your barrel and cleans it thoroughly in just a few seconds. A weighted brass drop through cord easily slips through the barrel to get the Bore Snake started. You just grab the end and pull the rest of it through. The "business end" of the Bore Snake has a whole bunch of surface area impregnated with brushes and floss (160X more floss than a patch). One pass with the Bore Snake equals several passes with conventional cleaning tools. The Bore Snake is simple... there's no assembly required. It's lightweight and compact with no exposed metal to damage the critical rifling or crown surfaces. Use it with or without your favorite gun cleaning solvent. And after several cleanings, just wash and dry the Bore Snake to restore it to like-new gun cleaning condition. If you love your guns but hate the mess and fuss of cleaning them, the Bore Snake is for you. It makes a great gift too.
