I have yet to finda snake that works. Every time I used one on a traditional deeper-grooved ML- then followed up with a 3" solvent-wettenedpatch and bore brush, my patches are streaky dirty. When I used them on a modern shallow grooved inline, the streak was lighter - but still present. That means down-the-road - as the age of the ML progresses,corrosion will very slowly buteventually form.

I carry a camo clip belt with three pouches - one on each hip and one on my backside. A few places carry them - also army surplus outlets.
