Tequila Shooter Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Does anyone know who makes a bore "snake" for a .45 Long Colt for a rifle? Everyone I've seen says it's for pistol, too short for rifle. Would one for a .410 shotgun work? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titus A. Gnatsass, SASS #71705 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Even though the pistol version is shorter, it will work in a pinch for a rifle. Simply cut the cord section in the middle and splice in a piece of cord long enough to clear the muzzle of your rifle and you're in business. I've done just that a couple of times in the past to get thru a match. I use a bore snake after every stage in my rifle(I shoot BP) and have now learned to carry an extra rifle length in my possibles bag, but the pistol snake saved me in the past.

Several of the pistol ones I have are long enough to work with a 20 in rifle barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attica Jack #23953 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Go on E-bay and order direct from China takes about 4 weeks, but the cost is around $2.50. All the ones you buy here are made in China anyways. I tired to find one made in the USA to an avail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I picked 'em up at my LGS, .357 .22 and 12 gauge. Most LGS should have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
