Bore Snake Advice Needed
I am meticulous about cleaning my handguns. I clean them after every range trip, regardless of how many rounds I fire.
I recently purchased Hoppes Viper Bore Snakes that I want to incorporate into my cleaning regimen. The rods, patch loops,patches, brushes and jags are getting to be tedious, and I'm looking for a simpler solution.
My question is, are these bore snakes intended to be used dry without any cleaning solvent, or would I spray down the bore with my cleaning solvent (I use mostly M-Pro 7) and then run the snake through?
I can't find this information in the instructions that came with the snakes.
I welcome advice.
