It takes 19 different boresnakes to clean all the guns that 1 Otis Tactical kit will clean. Boresnakes are $17.00 ea (Cabela's Price) an Otis kit is $42. Looks like you could save enough money to buy another gun. Besides, when you run a clean boresnake down a dirty barrel, doesn't it come out the other end dirty. The Otis parts are quaranteed for life and come with a 30 day satisfaction quarantee.
