Hoppe’s Boresnake – 24011

Product Description

The Hoppe’s Boresnake 24011 is a one-piece pull-through bore cleaner that simplifies firearm maintenance in the field or at the range. Unlike traditional cleaning rods, the Boresnake design lets you clean from breech to muzzle with a single pass, no disassembly required.

This cleaning tool uses an integrated brush and floss zone to scrub and wipe the bore in one motion. Shooters who need fast turnaround between strings or who want to reduce cleaning time after a range session rely on the Boresnake design to keep barrels clean without a full bench setup.

The 24011 model is caliber-specific. Call 817-393-4000 to confirm which caliber this SKU fits before ordering.

How a Boresnake Works

A Boresnake replaces the rod, brush, and patch routine with a single flexible rope. You drop a weighted cord through the bore, attach it at the muzzle, and pull the cleaning section through. The embedded bronze brush scrubs fouling while the trailing fabric collects residue.

This method eliminates the risk of rod damage to the crown and cuts cleaning time to under a minute. Hunters and competition shooters use Boresnakes when a full cleaning kit is impractical or when quick maintenance between stages is needed.

Choosing the Right Caliber

Each Boresnake is sized to a specific bore diameter. Using the wrong caliber results in poor contact and incomplete cleaning. The model number 24011 designates a particular caliber, but confirming fitment before purchase is essential.

If you shoot multiple calibers, you will need a separate Boresnake for each. Browse our full selection of cleaning supplies to find additional calibers or traditional cleaning equipment for bench use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What caliber is the Hoppe’s Boresnake 24011?

Q: Can I use a Boresnake instead of a cleaning rod?

A: Yes, a Boresnake is designed to replace rod-and-patch cleaning for routine maintenance. It scrubs and wipes in one pass, making it ideal for field use or quick cleaning. For deep fouling or heavy carbon buildup, traditional rods and brushes may still be necessary.

Q: Is the Boresnake reusable?

A: Yes, a Boresnake is a reusable cleaning tool. With proper care and periodic washing, it will last through hundreds of cleaning sessions before the brush or fabric wears out.

Q: Do I need to apply solvent to a Boresnake?

A: Applying bore solvent to the brush section before pulling the Boresnake through improves cleaning effectiveness, especially for copper and powder fouling. You can also pre-treat the bore and let the solvent work before running the Boresnake.
