silver back 5 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Hi all does anyone use the hoppes bore snake on your guns I was thinking of getting one but was a bit concerned about the brass brush on it damaging the rifling Quote Link to post
walshie 2,804 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I don't use one on an airgun, but I do use it on a rimfire. Brass won't damage the rifling. It's why they make them of brass/bronze. Quote Link to post
silver back 5 Posted May 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Do you thing it is a bit overkill for a air gun 1 Quote Link to post
walshie 2,804 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 You still need to clean it. I actually prefer a rod and patches, but keep a boresnake handy when I'm out. Quote Link to post
JBWALES 5 Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 You used to be able to get them for airguns specifically, without the bronze brush, but I haven't seen them for a while (try eBay). Other than that you won't beat a good cleaning rod & patches. John. Quote Link to post
Coypu Hunter 486 Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Never clean my air rifle barrels, to be honest, except to clear out the factory gunk before first use. Powder burners yes, since there's a build-up of GSR. Cue incoming from target tarts and HFT geeks... Quote Link to post
VWman 232 Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 I have just sent off for a napier of London kit, it is a spray and pull through kit for air rifles. Quote Link to post
