With all due respect, I think
the below snipers disagree with everything detractors here have said about bore snakes.
BTW, the guy dead center is Nick R. - he made the 1.3 mile "longest sniper shot ever" in Aghanistan a couple years ago. (you remember, right?)
We just found out it was with a BORE-SNAKE SUPPORTED .50 BARRETT. Nick loves bore snakes - just click on the picture below to read his personal testimonial (sent to his Dad, forwarded to us).
So much for 'bore snakes are only good for non-precision work...", eh?
More testimonials from
other US warriors engaged in combat and their families are available here:
http://ProjectBoreSnake.org/testimonials.html
BTW, MANY are unit armorers responsible for maintenance on HORDES of weapons.
Do you think they are qualified to form an opinion?
Also, there are
easy solutions to the problems cited here...
(1) Breaking apart in barrel -
use the right size bore snake. This only happens when someone tries, for example, to use a .35 cal. bore snake in a .30 cal rifle because they are too cheap to buy the RIGHT bore snake.
(2) Grit collecting in the nylon - wind your bore snake up, put it in a sock and throw it in the laundry. CLEAN AS A WHISTLE!
