Works really well. Get one of those tube things that screws onto a motor oil bottle. The thread also fits a plastic water bottle. The other end goes into a cleaning rod guide.....an o-ring guide keeps the chamber dry. It only takes a couple oz of water and about 15 seconds to cool a sporter weight barrel. Doesn't have to be ice water either, air temp is fine. A couple dry patches and you're back shooting.
