gfl216 220 Posted December 14, 2017 Has anyone used these or know anything about them? Pretty cool concept but I'm skeptical if they work Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10X 3,278 Posted December 14, 2017 Hadn't heard of them before. They'll obviously leave behind powder fouling from whatever is pushing the cleaning wads out the barrel. I share your skepticism. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,872 Posted December 14, 2017 Usually it's not the barrel that needs cleaning for me - it's the gas system (Semi Autos). This is a solution to a problem I don't have... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Ray 3,566 Posted December 15, 2017 Only reason I see using this is for a wet barrel. That's it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voyager9 3,417 Posted December 15, 2017 The only round that will soon be legal in NJ for self defense. I don’t see how these could work. Maybe if the barrel was dumped in the mud. Normal cleaning I would think the impulse would be too short to really scrub anything out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T Bill 649 Posted December 15, 2017 I switched to bore snakes for shotguns, a little cleaner/lube, two passes and it's shinny clean. Rinse snake with a little solvent (brake clean) ready to go again. Way easier after each use. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10X 3,278 Posted December 15, 2017 They’ll clean your barrel in a millisecond. And your barrel will look like that’s all the time you spent on it, too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyB 4,289 Posted December 15, 2017 These things are for the lazy. All firearms need proper cleaning and lubrication for proper function and longevity! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maintenanceguy 509 Posted December 16, 2017 Cleaning the barrel takes seconds. I don't see the need even if it does work. Now, give me a shotgun shell that will clean and lubricate the whole gun and I'll take a case. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
