Anyone use one? They look interesting yet gimmicky. I'm curious to see how well they work, it seems like I can never get all of the black crud out of my Mosin despite patches, solvent, and brushes.

I use them to clean

45 cal

9mm/38/357

223

 

They are gimmicky but when i use them as instructed they clean the bore very good. You have to do it 2 times though.

I just use a regular rod to screw them on and then pull. I don't have the flexrod they recommend.

 

Still waiting on my order for the 12ga and 30 cal for the shotgun and Mosin but good experience so far.

 

 

 

 

Let me know how the Mosin one works out for you.

Will do

You mosin, like mine and many others, likely has a bore that is far more rough than a brand new rifle with a mirror slick bore. Fouling (carbon/lead/copper) embeds itself deeply into those nooks and crannies created by years of shooting corrosive ammo with less than optimal cleaning regimens hence the difficulty in getting it clean in one pass. I think the bore squeegee is a great idea in general, but only for new, shiny bores that are easily cleaned regardless of whether you use a traditional cloth patch or silicone squeegee. Unfortuntately, as you've seen, the only real prescription for rough bores is good old elbow grease to dig into all that embedded crud.

I(we, wife and I) use them. They work good. Take a couple of passes.
