has anyone used these, looks like a good idea, but as we all know anything that is easy probably has a downfall that will surface when its too late.

why chase the game when the bullet can get em from here?....

One caveat however,
Use caution that you don't pull the string so hard that it breaks leaving the snake in the barrel. Take it easy till you can get hold of the "snake" part. If the string breaks....[:(][:(][:(]

I think they're best used AFTER a real cleaning. For example, I pulled one through the barrel of my AR15 after cleaning it. Kinda polished up the barrel and made it shine more.

There's still no replacement for the old way as others have stated, but for a quick "once-thru" they are great. I'm wanting to try 'em on a muzzleloader and see if they clean well enough to use for the bulk of the cleaning between shot strings (I doubt it).

it's not the type of gun you have in the heat of a battle that counts, only if you have enough ammo for it, lets face it, a gun without ammo is only as good as a base ball bat!!
