Description
The Hoppe's BoreSnake soft-sided cleaning kit is built for people who'd rather spend their time shooting than fussing over a cleaning rod. It centers on the caliber-specific .22 BoreSnake, the pull-through cord that loosens loose grit up front, scrubs with an integrated bronze brush, then wipes the bore with a floss section carrying far more surface area than a single patch. One pass and the barrel is noticeably cleaner. It covers .22 rimfire and centerfire loads like .223 and 5.56, so it plays nice with everything from a plinking rifle to your AR.
What Comes in the .22 BoreSnake Kit
This is a complete little grab-and-go setup. Along with the .22 BoreSnake you get a bottle of Hoppe's No. 9 gun bore cleaner for cutting through powder fouling and copper, Hoppe's lubricating oil to protect the metal and keep things running smooth, a set of Weatherguard cloths for wiping down and drying, and a BoreSnake pulling tool to make the job quick. It all lives in a rugged soft-sided case with elastic loops that hold the solvent and oil in place so nothing rattles loose.
Why the Soft-Sided .22 Cleaning Kit Earns a Spot in Your Bag
The case is the sleeper feature here. It clips right to a belt and stuffs easily into a range bag or truck box, which means barrel maintenance can happen wherever you are instead of waiting until you're back at the bench. A quick pass between strings keeps fouling from building up, and the BoreSnake itself is machine washable and reusable, so it earns its keep over the long haul.
A smart way to run it: put a few drops of No. 9 on the floss just behind the brush, pull it through a couple of times, then finish with a lightly oiled pass. For a deep clean you'll still want a rod and patches now and then, but for fast, dependable field cleaning, this kit is tough to beat.

Frequently Asked Questions
What calibers does the .22 BoreSnake kit clean?
This kit is set up for .22 caliber rifles, which covers both rimfire and centerfire loads. That includes popular rounds like .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO, so it works for a .22 plinker and an AR-15 alike. The BoreSnake itself is stamped with the caliber for easy reference.
How does the BoreSnake actually clean the barrel?
You drop the brass-weighted cord through the bore and pull it out the other end in one motion. The front floss loosens loose particles, the integrated bronze brush scrubs out fouling, and the long floss section behind it wipes the bore clean with far more surface area than a single patch. There's no exposed metal to touch the rifling or crown.
Can I use the No. 9 solvent with the BoreSnake?
Yes, and a lot of folks do. Put a few drops of Hoppe's No. 9 on the floss just behind the brush before pulling it through, then finish with a lightly oiled pass to protect the bore. The BoreSnake is solvent compatible and machine washable, so you can rinse it out and reuse it many times over.
Is this kit good for a full deep cleaning or just quick maintenance?
It shines as a fast, portable cleaning solution for the range or field, keeping fouling from building up between sessions. For a heavy deep clean or removing a stubborn carbon ring in the chamber, you'll still want a rod, patches, and a dedicated brush. Think of this as your everyday go-to that keeps things in shape between full cleanings.
