Does anyone here use Boresnakes

[rsa-otc]

I was wondering if anyone has experience in using Boresnakes, what their experience was and if they used solvents in conjunction with it?

Thanks

Yep. I use them for 95% of my guns. My experience is very positive.

I have a knock off version with a separate metal brush. They work well and are dirt simple.

Got one in my range bag. It's how I clean the bores on my 9mm handguns.

Yep. Use them on my rifles for a field expedient cleaning. Never used them with solvents If it comes down to needing solvents, I break out the cleaning rod. For my purpose - they work well.

Yes. All I use with shotguns. I put solvent on the front and oil on the back. Use them with pistols, pistol caliber leverguns, M4s, M&P10 carbines, and several bolt guns (243/270/308). I have at least one for every caliber/gauge I own. I like them. Takes a real man to pull a dry one through a 28 gauge, though.

Add me to the list of users. Been using them for a couple years, haven't used a rod, brush or jag since. Very handy and effective.

Ditto.

Ditto.

Same here. I'm pretty sure it's all i've ever used to clean my Glock barrels.

I have used these for shotguns while traveling and hunting and in rifles. I had one issue where I did not put any solvent or CLP on one for my 270 Win and essentially pulled it dry and it got lodged in the bore / barrel. I set it in a muzzle down position and saturated the chamber with CLP to soak over night and got it pulled on through. Strongly recommend against running one through dry.
