Homemade Cleaning Device
Posted: Mon Jun 08, 2015 9:30 pm
My lady and I are getting into wax bullet shooting pretty heavily, which means that cleaning revolvers is almost an everyday chore. We were at a club shoot recently and saw folks using Boresnakes (a registered trademark of the Hoppe's folks). My lady looked at the boresnake, marveled at the way it cleaned a gun barrel, then came home and got out some stiff yarn and her crochet hooks. In about 15 minutes, she had ginned-up this prototype.
She did this as a prototype and I found a cotter-pin to use as a weight. It's simple yarn crocheted into a bore cleaning device. We tried it with the fouling in the barrels of the revolvers and it works great. She intends to pick up some rug yarn because it's more durable. I'm stoked that my lady can make these little critters. She figures that she cam make 50 of them for about $6.00.
