Anyone ever have a bore snake jam in the barrel? It is a major headache. I liked the snake, but it jammed in my 10/22 and I had to jerry-rig a screw with a pull-line to screw into the end of the snake and pull it out. I was very concerned I damaged the inside of the barrel or chamber, but inspection revealed no damage.
If you use the snake. be careful NOT to pull it tight if it will not proceed through easily. Other than that, snake is very useful.
