To use a bore snake for cleaning a barrel:
1. Buy a "snake" too big so it will do a great cleaning job.
2. Jam it in the barrel and break off pull cord.
3. Decide to use a wood dowel to drive the snake out.
4. Break dowel off in barrel.
5. Buy a steel cleaning rod to drive out dowel. Get it jammed in the barrel.
6. Weld bit to second cleaning rod and chuck in a hand drill. Try to drill obstructions out of barrel.
7. Watch drill bit come through side of barrel; blame barrel maker for making a curved barrel.
8. Buy new barrel, mess up threads and try to install it anyway.
9. Get new barrel installed, fire test shot. Get a snake to clean barrel.
10. Go to 1.
Advice: Throw away the "snake" and get a good cleaning rod. If you must clean "in the field", use an undersize snake that won't jam in the barrel.
