i have 2 bore snakes, ones for my .223, and another is for 2 7.62 rifles.
i read on the packaging that you can clean the boresnakes out by washing them.
i just put my .223 boresnake in the sink and began to wash it when some white, slighty oily paste/cream starting to come out of it. this makes me think that i shouldnt be cleaning this boresnake, becuase im under the assumption this white stuff is ment to help cleaning the barrel and the bore.
i stopped cleaning it, and am now letting it dry withwhatever the hell the white stuff is. i have never put anything in the barrel besides hoppes #9 and bullets. i have no idea how that stuff could of gotten on the snake if it didnt come like that from the factory.
what should i do? should i continue hand cleaning it or stop?
the 7.62 one hasnt been cleaned at all yet...
advice?
