Sorry about the late reply Lads
I have been super super busy over the past few days...
I would like to thank everyone who commented on this thread
It has been truly interesting to hear both sides of the arguments
It has opened up my mind a lot
So thank you everybody
And honestly, I kinda of understand both sides
Lads
I'm no expert in firearms at all
I'm new to the firearm world
However, I did use a bore snake 3x times on my henry lever action before I used it for the 1st time
And when I did use the bore snake
I truly got the feeling that it would have done a decent enough/potentially great job cleansing the bore
I had to pull so so hard onto the snake for it to come out of the barrel
I truly felt that it gave the bore such a fantastic scrub on the inside of it
Ridding it of any material that may have been left over in there
+ with the G96
I honestly felt that the bore snake did a good/potentially even a great job cleaning the barrel for me
I could be wrong but that's just the feeling that I got using the bore snake for the 1st time
But I also understand the other side of the argument, that over time, you could potentially damage the crown of the rifle if you dont pull the snake out of the barrel 100% straight/parallel with the barrel
I honestly do understand both sides of the argument
Regardless, this has been a great chat
It's always pleasant to hear both sides of the argument, it's informative, which is what EnoughGun is all about
I love discussing firearm matters with you Lads
