Dear Friends,

I was going through the Hoppe's 9 website and found a bore snake for air rifles. So I tried to make my own bore snake with a soft shoe lace and tennis gut, take a look . . . :D

Cool buddy - good job . If you could add a few strands of steel wool in the middle it will be complete.

Dear Sniper,

I was thinking about that but any kind of metal brush is not recommended for air rifles, it can damage the bore...

Dear Sudesh,

It was a hit and trial . . . but as the shoe lace is very soft so it works really well for both the calibers .177 and .22 air rifles when dipped in the gun oil . . .

Dear Friends,

My bore snake and needle applicator, needle applicator works very fine when you need precise drops of gun oil...
