Hoppe'sBoresnake® Shotgun with Den and T-Handle, Shotgun Cleaner

I recently picked up a durable snake gun cleaner, and it has truly exceeded my expectations! This cleaning tool is incredibly effective—it easily threads through the barrel and does a thorough job of removing fouling, residue, and dirt after each use. It’s designed with high-quality materials, so I can tell it’s built to last and handle repeated use without fraying or wearing out.The durability of this cleaner is a standout feature. The cord is sturdy yet flexible, making it easy to maneuver through various barrel lengths. It feels solid and strong, and I’ve had no issues with it getting stuck or caught in the barrel, even after heavy use. It’s also simple to clean and maintain—just a quick rinse after each use, and it’s good to go for the next round.What I really love is how quick and convenient it is to use. Rather than disassembling a whole cleaning kit, this snake cleaner lets me clean my gun in a matter of minutes, which is perfect for someone who values efficiency. It’s also gentle enough not to scratch or damage the barrel but still powerful enough to get the job done right.Overall, I highly recommend this snake gun cleaner to anyone looking for a reliable, durable, and efficient way to keep their firearms in top condition. It’s made my gun maintenance routine much easier, and I’m confident it’ll last me for a long time!

I was skeptical when Bore Snakes first came out, but over the years of both selling them in local gun shops as well as using them myself, I became less skeptical and more won over. For a quick-clean, there is nothing better. Elmer Keith made reference to something similar he contrived from over-sized patches/rags and a leather thong with a slit in it. This item expands on Elmer's idea, and like the .44 S&W Magnum, it turned out to be a good idea.In recent years, they have included a sort of handle so one could, in theory, use the product without touching the fabric of the bore snake in order to limit your exposure to chemicals. I always discard the packaging and just pack the snake into a Mason jar with a white plastic lid bearing the label so I know what caliber snake is in the jar. If you are concerned about the chemicals you are using, maybe the thing to do would be to use another solvent or wear disposable gloves.In any case, unless the gun you are cleaning has a badly rusted bore or is otherwise really dirty, the bore snake will generally get the gun clean in one or two passes using any of several brands of bore solvent. Not a bad idea to add a little gun oil to the back end of the snake so you can leave a film of oil behind.Now, you still need to clean other parts of the gun in the prescribed manner, and it isn't a bad idea to have a conventional cleaning rod with brushes and a fitted jag for days you fired eighty rounds on the range for some reason, but for most "homestead guns" this is all you will ever use to clean the bore and chamber.

Does what it says. Quickly cleans bore in one or two passes. I like it can be washed as required.

20 gauge bore snake. Works great for a quick clean up.

Hoppes is the original boresnake manufacturer, and their quality shows. You could pay less for cheap, no-name snakes, but why bother? I have only had one instance where I snapped a cord on a Hoppes boresnake, but that was out of about seven snakes I own in rifle calibers and shotgun all shotgun gauges and use for over two decades. Buy one for both your bench and your range bag.

Great product and it cleans my shotgun perfectly every time

Much easier way to clean out your bore. I have one for every caliper I own.

Boresnake is life 👍🏻
