Boresnake wonder!

I have always used a bore snake on my shotguns, but never used one on my revolvers until today. It made cleaning my Ruger SBH a dream. I don't know why I never used one until now. Cleaning the barrel was never much of a chore, but I found the cylinders to be a pain in the rear. The bore snake made short work of all six. If you have never used one, I encourage you to give one a try.

I call mine "cylinder bore snakes". Got a bunch of them with the brass bristle taken off.

I use a boresnake on my S&W 17 .22lr revolver as otherwise it can only be cleaned from the muzzle and i'm terrified of messing up the crowning of the barrel with a brass rod. It works like a charm.

I've also started using it on my Mark II and it's nice to be able to clean the barrel from the chamber without having to remove the receiver from the gun.
