Review: Simply the best gun cleaning system on the market. - I purchased this for my father for Father's Day. I already own this product in many calibers and I have always preached the merits of owning one to my father. Well, he never bought one, so I picked one up for him. The reason I mention my father at all is because he is a novice shooter with limited time and/experience taking apart guns and cleaning them after a shoot. Typically he would go shooting with me and then jam his handguns back into the cabinet without ever taking the time to clean them. So, in ten minutes time, I successfully showed him how to disassemble/reassemble and clean the weapon with the Hoppe's Bore Snake. He found this process to be so easy, compared to the old days of brass rod and threaded cleaning tips and all the extra swabs and steps. You see, with a Hoppe's Bore Snake, all you need to do is let the brass weight fall through the barrel, grab ahold of the string, and pull the swab through the entire length until is is free of the barrel. The swab has several brass wires built in, so you get scrubbing action to clean the stuck on powder/debris and the swab cleans the residue that remains. Its so easy, my 6 year old nephew can use it. A few squirts of Rem Oil and one or two passes through the barrel and you're home free. Why spend all day cleaning your guns when you don't have to? Saves Time Saves Money by not having to purchase bags of swabs. The last gun cleaning kit you'll ever buy.
Review: It works extremely well and takes very little time. - I'm relatively new to firearms but I know that properly cleaned and lubricated guns are more reliable and perform better. I decided on the Hoppe's Viper Boresnake since it seemed like the easiest and most straightforward method while keeping cost low. The included instructions are sparese, but it isn't hard to figure out and if you're super desperate you can watch one of hundreds of videos to aid you. At it's most basic, you need to add your cleaning solution to the top knitted area of the snake, apply oil to the end area of the snake, drop the dangly brass piece down the barrel and pull through. In one swipe you apply cleaning solution, and built-in brushes lightly scrub your barrel, the middle of the snake dries the solution off and the end lightly oils the barrel. All this happens in one pass, and you probably don't even need to field strip if there's room for the snake to slide through the breech. All-in-all it will probably only take a minute or two to run the Borenake through your barrel, maybe an extra minute if you disassemble the gun first. The results were impressive to me. Any little bits of carbon or unburned powder that were in the barrel were gone after one pass and a nice thin sheen of oil was in its place. Granted, I'm not a gun snob, I'm not religious about cleaning or do I have a ton of other experiences to compare this with, but I like it and it's efficient which gets good marks from me.
