Description
The Hoppe's BoreSnake Den for .177 airguns takes the fastest bore cleaning tool around and gives it a proper home. Instead of fumbling with a rod, patches, and a fistful of string, you drop the brass-weighted tip into the barrel, grab the case lid that doubles as a T-handle, and pull the whole snake through in one smooth motion. The integrated bronze bristle scrubs out carbon fouling on the way through, and the long braided tail follows behind to swab the bore clean, giving you far more cleaning surface than a single patch ever could.
What the BoreSnake Den Does Differently
The standout here is the case. The clear snap-close den keeps your snake coiled, protected, and free of pocket lint or grit that you definitely don't want dragging back through your barrel. The lid pops off and snaps into the base to become a pull handle, so you get real leverage without wrapping the cord around your knuckles. It's compact enough to ride in a range bag, a backpack, or a glove box, which makes it a natural grab-and-go tool for quick cleanups at the bench or out in the field.
Getting the Most From Your .177 BoreSnake
A few drops of your favorite solvent or oil right ahead of the bronze bristle section makes a real difference, and two or three passes will clear the majority of visible fouling from a .177 bore. Always pull it through in the same direction the pellet travels to be kind to the crown, and keep the pull straight and steady so the snake doesn't fray at the muzzle. When it starts looking grimy after several uses, the whole snake is machine washable, so toss it in a mesh bag and it comes out ready for the next round.
Do note this particular model ships without a replacement brush, so it's the snake and den setup ready to work right out of the package. For airgun owners who want fast, portable, no-fuss barrel maintenance, it's tough to beat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the BoreSnake Den .177 come with a replacement brush?
No, this particular model ships without a spare brush. You get the .177 airgun BoreSnake with its integrated bronze bristle already built into the rope, plus the snap-close den case. If you like to keep a backup brush on hand, you'd need to pick one up separately.
How do I use the BoreSnake Den on my .177 airgun?
Make sure the gun is unloaded, then drop the brass-weighted tip into the breech and guide it until it clears the muzzle. Add a couple drops of solvent or oil just ahead of the bronze bristle, snap the lid into the base to use as a handle, and pull the snake straight through in the same direction the pellet travels. Two or three passes usually clears out most of the fouling.
Can I wash the BoreSnake when it gets dirty?
Yes, the BoreSnake is machine washable and reusable. Once it looks grimy after several cleanings, drop it in a mesh laundry bag and run it through the wash, then let it air dry before storing it back in the den. That keeps built-up residue from ending up back in your barrel.
What's the point of the den case?
The clear den keeps your snake coiled up clean and protected so it doesn't pick up lint or grit in a range bag or pack. The lid pulls off and snaps into the base to become a T-handle, which gives you better leverage than wrapping the cord around your hand. It's a compact, grab-and-go setup that fits just about anywhere.
