Anyone else clean their guns with these? They work well cleaning revolvers from the breech. They also work well with the semi-autos when you want to forego the hassle of taking the gun down to clean it. On some SAs they get you around the flying parts problem.
I usually dip the brush end in Hoppe's #9, leave the middle dry, and hit the tail with CLP or RemOil. A couple passes in the barrel seems to do the job. Quick & Easy, though you do have to keep them clean. When ready to throw them in the washing machine, I'm thinking of using those bags the ladies use for nylon stockings.
If you use these, how do you do it? Any insights on why or why not with Boresnakes?
My hands are shaky (hereditary) so getting a patch on a jag and getting it down the barrel can be a problem. Boresnakes have turned out to be a blessing.
