Bore snake vs Chinese bore snake
« on: December 28, 2019, 07:37:41 PM »
On my many ebay wandering for cheap pointless crap i dont need i saw some boresnakes for $2:50
Well not boresnakes but

so for that price why not, worth a laugh i figured.
To be perefectly fair, other than a few less rows of bristles, there is no difference.  Ive cleaned 2 rifles with it now and cant tell if i pick up the real one or the new one.
Just thought someone else might be interested  because a bore snake for every different calibre gets a bit spendy.
I ordered 2 more and a .22 one.
heres a pic.
The lower one is original and top is ebay china special

Thanks for the review.
I had no idea that these were being knocked off by the Chicoms.

it came from china in the standard little grey plastic mailer thingy.
Only took about 3 weeks, but as a rule things from China arrive in either 3 weeks or 3 months, but never in between.

I love the bore snakes. I think I have 5, maybe 6. I'd have to go look. For sure I have 22, 223-556-22mag, 30 cal, 9mm and 12G. One or 2 pulls and you are done.
