Bore Snake for 22 LR Rifle

Bore snakes are not intended to clean gas ports, silly rabbit.

That must be user error or an improperly manufactured bore snake.

Honestly, that was my thought - but EJ said they were the proper size (several were new). For the life of me, I don't know how they could manage to jam because of the port - but the fact remains that they have, and that was enough to convince me that I didn't want to use 'em any more on anything with a gas port. Beyond there, as noted by several - they don't REALLY do THAT good a job. I found 'em to help speed up the process when used in conjunction with my cleaning routine, but a good bore brush is more compact than the various sizes you need to tote, so to me it wasn't any big loss to get rid of 'em.

I have helped one friend get one out of his AR15 barrel that was stuck...........damn near didn't get it out. I don't use them so no experience.

Maybe I'm missing something here but I didn't think 10/22 had a gas port.

Blowback right?
