PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Łuszczek Bore Snake for 5.6 mm (.22 / .223) Rifles – Express Barrel Cleaning
Ensure maximum lifespan, consistent accuracy, and reliability for your long gun. The bore snake from the Polish brand Łuszczek (product code: 1-024) is a professional, highly effective, and compact tool designed for quick barrel maintenance in rifles of 5.6 mm caliber.
Designed with the realities of dynamic, sport, and hunting shooting in mind, it allows for the removal of carbon fouling and fresh deposits immediately after shooting – right at the shooting range or in the hunting ground. This indispensable part of any cleaning kit can be ordered from the specialized store SHOTWORKS.
Integrated Brass Brush – Uncompromising Carbon Removal
The key advantage of the Łuszczek bore snake is its hybrid construction. A solid brass-bristled brush is permanently integrated halfway along the length of the densely woven, absorbent textile cord.
During a single pass of the cord through the barrel, a two-phase maintenance process occurs:
-
Mechanical Phase: The brass brush aggressively, yet completely safely for the barrel's rifling, scrapes off hard lead, copper, gilding metal deposits, and baked-on gunpowder fouling.
-
Cleaning and Polishing Phase: The wide, thick part of the cord collects the released contaminants, dries the barrel bore, and removes remaining dirt, leaving the surface perfectly clean.
Safe Brass Pilot Tip
The bore snake is equipped with a precisely balanced, smooth brass tip (the so-called pilot) attached to the beginning of the guide cord. The appropriate weight of the pilot allows for its quick, gravity-assisted passage through the barrel (always from the chamber end towards the muzzle). The use of a soft brass alloy ensures that the pilot will in no way scratch the delicate crown of the barrel or the bore walls, protecting your firearm from accidental gunsmithing damage.
Extreme Versatility: One Cord for Many Calibers
Thanks to optimally selected fiber density and flexibility, model 1-024 5.6 mm features very broad cross-compatibility. It works perfectly as:
-
Cord for AR-15 / Rimfire: Ideal for the most popular sport and tactical platforms in calibers .22 LR, .22 WMR (Magnum), and 5.45x39 mm (AK-74).
-
Bore Snake for Hunting Rifles and Varmints: Perfectly suited for rifle calibers such as .222 Remington, .223 Remington (5.56x45 mm NATO), 5.6x50 Magnum, 5.6x52 R, 5.6x57, and .22-250 Rem.
Pocket-Size Format – Always at Hand
Unlike traditional, long sectional cleaning rods, the Łuszczek bore snake takes up minimal space when rolled up. It easily fits into a tactical trouser pocket, a side compartment of a shooting bag, a cargo pouch organizer, or a first-aid kit. This allows for so-called "hot barrel cleaning" immediately after a series of shots, which drastically facilitates subsequent, thorough firearm maintenance at home.
