Description
The Hoppe's BoreSnake Den turns barrel maintenance on your .22 pistol or revolver into a quick, drop-and-pull job. You feed the brass weight through the chamber end, grab it as it comes out the muzzle, and pull the snake through. The leading section loosens the big stuff, the integrated bronze brush scrubs out carbon fouling, and the woven tail wipes the bore clean with roughly 160 times the surface area of a standard patch. It's the same fast cleaning system that's made the BoreSnake one of the most recognizable names in gun care, just with a smarter way to carry it.
What the Den Case Adds to the BoreSnake
The real upgrade here is the Den. It's a compact clear case with the caliber marked on it, so you'll never grab the wrong size when you've got a few of these floating around your kit. The lid snaps off and doubles as a pull handle, and there's a T-handle included to make pull-throughs even easier on your hands. The whole thing tucks neatly into a range bag or backpack, which keeps your snake protected and clean between uses instead of tangled at the bottom of a drawer.
Getting the Most From Your .22 BoreSnake
A lot of folks run it dry for a quick range-side pass, but for a deeper clean the common method is a few drops of solvent like Hoppe's No. 9 on the brush section and a little oil on the tail end. Pull it through two or three times and you're done, with a bore that's cleaned and lightly protected in under a minute. The brass weight is laser etched with the caliber, the design is one piece with no exposed metal to touch your rifling or crown, and when it finally gets grungy you can toss it in the wash and reuse it.
This is a great grab for anyone shooting rimfire regularly who wants dependable maintenance without dragging out a full rod-and-patch setup. Made in the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the .22 BoreSnake Den work for both pistols and revolvers?
Yes. This model is sized for .22 caliber handguns, which covers both semi-auto pistols and revolvers chambered in .22. The brass weight is stamped with the caliber so you can confirm the right fit at a glance.
Do I need solvent or oil to use the BoreSnake Den?
You can run it dry for a fast pass at the range, but most people add a few drops of solvent like Hoppe's No. 9 on the brush section and a little oil on the tail for a fuller clean. Pull it through two or three times and the bore comes out cleaned and lightly protected. Running it dry works fine for quick maintenance between deeper cleanings.
What makes the Den version different from a standard BoreSnake?
The cleaning snake itself is the same proven one-pass design. The Den adds a compact, caliber-marked case with a lid that snaps off to serve as a pull handle, plus an included T-handle. It keeps everything protected and organized in your range bag instead of loose and tangled.
Can the BoreSnake be washed and reused?
It can. The patented one-piece construction is machine washable, so when it gets loaded up with fouling you can clean it and put it right back to work. Many shooters toss theirs in a pillowcase and run it through the wash, then hang it to dry.
