View Full Version : FYI.. boresnake Birdhunter1 03-24-2008, 20:41 If you use one, whatever you do DO NOT PUT A PATCH IN THE LOOP AT THE END TO PULL THROUGH THE BARREL! Bad things happen and it is a B**** to get it out, especially when it the rope breaks and it is all inside the barrel. I'll tell yall how it turns out later. BAM 03-24-2008, 23:34 What cha talking about willis???? :confused: Birdhunter1 03-25-2008, 00:24 Gun cleaning equipment. http://www.hoppes.com/products/ca_boresnakes.html That happens to be lodged in a Tikka T3 .243 in my garage. quackhead35 03-25-2008, 01:01 Gun cleaning equipment. http://www.hoppes.com/products/ca_boresnakes.html That happens to be lodged in a Tikka T3 .243 in my garage. Thats why I refuse to use one or buy one. heard to many horror stories about them breaking off and being a major pain to get out. wolfgang 03-25-2008, 10:51 I know, if it gets to a bad enough point how about a wire hanger? The only issue is possibly scratching your rifling, or use a real cleaning kit to get it out with the cleaning rod. If we would get one it would be for a handgun where you could use a pencil to get it out (even then wouldn't like to have one). Birdhunter1 03-25-2008, 19:48 I was able to get it out, it weren't a purty site, I do not recommend using a boresnake as they are a real PITA to get out if they break or otherwise get stuck. A friend of mine called me earlier tonight and said "boresnake," it is now the new word to set me off! lifestudent55 03-26-2008, 00:08 A friend of mine called me earlier tonight and said "boresnake," it is now the new word to set me off! With friends like that, who needs enemies. :D |
