Cleaning a Ruger Mark 2 Gun Barrel with Snake Bore Tool

Video Transcript

"Alright, what we're going to do now is we're going to clean out the inside of the barrel. We have all of our parts here scrubbed up. We have the Break Free setting in. We have a brush loose with the brushes. We're going to take our Hoppy's #9 and I recommend you do this in a ventilated area. Doing it inside of a garage with the garage door up or with a door open and with a fan blowing out. We're in a well ventilated area here. We're going to take, here's our Bore Snake. The Bore Snake, really, is just a one step clean. This has really revolutionized firearm cleaning or the inside of the barrel firearm cleaning better than anything else. This takes away from us using a push rod, a jag, these patches, bore brushes. From brass brushes to nylon brushes, this is just going to be one self clean area. What we're going to do is right here inside the Bore Snake, you see these little brass brushes here that are sewn into the Snake. Right in front of this is just a little patch area. What I like to do, is I like to fold that, right there and just take a little bit of my Hoppy's and I just dip that in there. If you feel like you get too much, you can just wipe it right on the edge of the cap there. We can just reuse that little bit. Remember we're going to do this closest to the pull string, because we're going to want this Hoppy's to go inside the barrel in front of the brushes, in front of the swab because this swab is going to wipe out the inside of the barrel and give us a nice clean. You always hear people talking about how you need to go from inside the action out. I don't necessarily know that it really matters but because of that it's the way that I do it. So I just take this brass, drop, and insert it into the barrel and drop it out here and start to pull this nylon out. That's when I just kind of get this Bore Snake and I get it kind of lined up and get it ready to go. Basically I pull it in here real slow until I feel those brass brushes coming inside here and then you just in one smooth motion, you start pulling. You see, that heavy part was when we were doing those brushes. And it is surprising how quick and how well those brushes on this snake clean it. Let me just keep pulling this out. There we go. Now what we're going to do now is take a Bore light, and we're going to look inside the barrel and just see if we got anything and everything out."
