I have one of those snakes for everything I have.... IMO they work very well... they are very quick and efficient. Do not think you could count on them to do it all - but for a quick field clean - have at it...

I use them for everything except my MZ's. They work real well when I'm shooting slugs to sight in.

I use them for a quick clean at the range on my shotguns and handguns. I just don't want to take everything a part just to run a bore snake thru it. All I need to do is run a couple of wet patches and a few dry and keep shooting. Just me...

I use 'em on all my guns/barrels but not for final clean-up when I'm going to put it away.
