The Bore Snake doesn't touch those critical areas where gunk and lube from the .22 bullet builds up. That will do it unless many thousands of rounds are fired and i want to take the gun apart for a more thorough cleaning. I wouldn't use one on any centerfire gun except for a quick expedient cleaning.
I agree. It's a big help on my Browning Buckmark which is a pain to field strip. A can of CLP, an air compressor and the Bore Snake.
