Bore Snake for 12 Ga

[40calibre]

I use a bore snake, used rod and patches first but was horrible, used so many patches for the big barrel. Bought a bore snake for 4 calibers and never looked back.

We all have our own routines with our guns. I look at like this. We spend plenty on our weapons, so why not keep them cleaned, lubed and ready to go. I personal try to keep all my possessions maintained.

Wow, you guys sure clean your guns a lot. I run a bore snake thru my 525 once or twice a year, and I shoot a pretty fair amount.

What can I say, I love the smell of a clean, well lubed shotgun in the morning!

Snake in the field & at the range.

Rod at home. I really like the Tico Tool. Not sure why I just do.

I like Tico tool too. How do you clean it?

[Tom-ADC]

Dawn dish soap and water, but they can get real dirty looking before that's required,

Thanks. I've been washing my bore snakes in washing machine. Wife hasn't caught me yet. I like Tico tool. But turn black quickly.

Any chance a Tico tool can damage a barrel?

They leave my barrel squeaky clean. No lint.

Tico tool - - If you haven't tried one, you are missing out. Without question, the fastest and easiest way to clean a shotgun barrel. Just about all of the high volume skeet and trap shooters that I know use one.

I use a rod and patch and Tico tool. Bore snake can be really hard to pull through.
