Barrel cleaning

[Elk34]

So how many of you use bore snakes or cleaning rods/ bore brush?

[Vyadmirer]

Just a patch guy on a brass rod. From the breech if possible

[Seif]

I'm a bore snake guy most of the time. Just a quick trip and a couple hundres rounds just run a snake through it. For a more thorough cleaning i'll use a brush and patches.

Bore snake 99% of the time.

I used to do it the old fashioned way but switched to a bore snake after trying it the first time...saves me so much time. Since I clean after every range trip it does a great job as my guns never get very dirty (except for the trips I send a high number of rounds down range of course).

I don't think I could switch back to the old way now.

I use both but the bore snake just makes it faster. I like the rod for revolvers still.

Dewey rods and Sweets. Nothing cleans rifles better for me.

Try rod/patch and JB bore paste after hoppes and such. You then realize what is still left behind.

[CappnTripps]

Both

Doing it the old way .rod ,brush and patches.after 50 years do not know if I could break the habit.

[Boriqua]

I usually clean my guns after every outing. If its a semi and I have only put 100 or so rounds through it I will run a patch and then just a bore snake. My revolvers I tend to shot more and I tend to shot at least twice before I clean them since they are a little more effort to clean so I will use patch brush and swab.

Started using the bore snake about a year and a half ago. I like them. Bought one for all the cals. Still run a patch threw, then a few times with the snake. Makes cleaning faster and easier.
