About us

The Guncare People Since 1903

In 1903, Frank August Hoppe mixed nine chemicals and created the world’s most effective gun cleaner. As a well-trained young soldier, Frank knew that gun care went far beyond just a clean rifle, but actually helped to ensure his safety while on the front lines of battle. Since that time, It has remained the most trusted name in gun care by advancing and evolving technologies to meet those needs. From the ever-popular and versatile No. 9 and the quick and easy BoreSnake, to the marvel of efficiency we call Gun Medic, Hoppe’s is the only name you need to know for firearm cleaning and protection.

Product Description

Hoppe's Bore Snake is the fastest bore cleaner on the planet. One pass loosens large particles, scrubs out the remaining residue with a bronze brush, then swabs it all spotless with a cleaning area 160x larger than a standard patch. The world's quickest, three-step bore shine. Extremely packable. Brass weight on the pull cord is stamped with the size. Patented one-piece design.

"...The first knot may put up a little resistance as the fit is pretty tight but once you get it started just keep pulling and let the snake do the work!..." Read more

"...This one does exactly what it should do. It fits appropriately snugly but not so snug it is very difficult to pull it through...." Read more

"I purchased the one for the 22 caliber and it will not fit through the barrel period, it took 10 minutes to even get the brass weight to go through..." Read more

After trying 2 different bore snakes and having them get stuck in the bore, this one finally worked. I have an older Hoppes bore snake that works for my.22LR pistols but needed one for rifles. Finally a bore snake for the .22LR that works.

Wow, the Hoppe's Boresnake M-16, .22-.225 Caliber Rifle is like having a magic rope for my toy guns! When I use it, it's like giving my toy rifles a special hug to make them all clean and shiny.

I saw my dad using it, and he said it's like a superhero for cleaning guns. Well, I felt like a superhero too when I tried it! It's really easy to use – I just pull it through the barrel, and it takes away all the dirt and stuff.

And you know what? It's like a game! I pretend I'm a secret agent cleaning my special spy rifle. It's like a secret mission to keep my toy guns in tip-top shape. And when I'm done, they look so nice and new, just like when I got them!

So, if you have toy rifles or guns like me, the Hoppe's Boresnake is like having a super cool helper that makes cleaning a fun adventure. I give it lots of thumbs up and high-fives! 🌟👍

The lead string is too thick to allow the weight to fall through the barrel cleanly, but you can use some momentum to push it down the barrel.

Come tutti i Prodotti Hoppe' s è di ottima fattura , attenzione , se l' arma è molto sporca all' inizio è difficile farlo passare , .22 è il diametro in pollici quindi va bene sia per il 22 lr che il 223 ed altri calibri con lo stesso dimetro di palla , una spruzzata di solvente dopo le spazzole , una spruzzata di olio alla fine e con una passata si ha una pulizia perfetta. Purtoppo non sono ancora diffusi in Italia e difficilmente si trova nei negozi fisici ma è un must quandi si inizia ad avere più armi risparmia moltissimo tempo , l' ho acquistato per vari calibri e utilizzo il primo da circa 5 anni ed è come nuovo , consigliatissimo
