I was cleaning some rifles this weekend. I have several different types, styles and makes of 10/22 barrels. Everything from stock, match, aluminum, forged, .920's etc. I also was cleaning a lever action .22 browning. I found it interesting that I had no problem in useing a boresnake on this rifle and other .22 calibers but the thought of useing borsnakes in my target barrels seemed almost evil. I have to say the boresnake did a nice job on the .22 lever action, especially the magazine tube. I do use a boresnake that I have removed the nylon bristles from their respective location, just something about plastic scraping the nice bore of my target barrels keeps me awake at night. Do you use them on your 10/22's? Maybe I'm just A. Nut case B. Overly Cautious C. Could be on the right path D. Should date more and quit worrying about boresnakes. I appreciate any feedback you can give me on this subject.
