Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Bore mops and Dyna Bore Coat

John,
I am having one heck of a time finding 223, 243 and 257 caliber bore mops in stock without having to place multiple orders for small amounts. Since I don’t need a bunch of other stuff I get gigged for a 10 or 15 buck order.
Do I really need bore mops, or will a loose or semi tight patch work?
Thanks

Patches have worked fine for me. I have done maybe three rifles with mops and 30 with patches. I like the patches much better

Where are you buying the Dyna Bore?....haven't seen it for months.

Miles, thanks. I have thick twill patches from butchs, med thick patches from pro shot ? And thin patches from Hoppes. I was thinking the med patch on a smaller jag, although the thin hoppes do work well for soaking with Kroil and boreshine mix.

I've always used bore mops but it's not always easy to get mops that fit just right. If patches work well that might be a way to go if you don't have tight fitting bore mops.

Bought it last fall, don’t remember where, but had it stored upright, unopened in a cupboard where it stays 65-68 degrees year round. The rifles I wanted to treat are hunting guns, that are a real biotch to strip back to bare bore.

Brownell's has discontinued the product under that name. Midway shows stock under the name Dyna Tek

I think the bore mops work waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than patches.................much more even coat.

With patches, while they will work, it's much easier to get too much on & then it's squeezed off & left in the chamber/throat so you must take care to remove it before setting the gun aside to dry.

Thought I read where JB went from the muzzle and used a chambered piece of brass to control that. Either way, I have a tight fitting bore guide that I can use after I clean the begezzers out of it.

Have had great results with both bore mops and patches, but in smaller calibers (especially .17) prefer mops. because it's easier to get an even distribution.

I have used both. Im not saying my way is right, but I slather the barrel up pretty heavy, clean any exxess off the exterior with brake cleaner, let it sit 24 hours then shoot it. The stuff has worked great for me in my prairie dog guns and I have not noticed excess thats dried in the bore or throat hurting anything. Its a good product and wish I had listened to JB's advice on its use years ago.

Have used both a bunch, and prefer a slightly under-sized mop. I go in the chamber through a bore guide, and catch the excess squeezed out of the mop at the muzzle end with the bottle.

I don’t use mops or patches anymore. We just plug chamber and pour the bore almost full, then hold a rubber pad over the muzzle while you turn the rifle upside down to wet the last part of the bore. Last you pour the Dyna bore Coat back in it’s bottle. You will get complete coverage every time and very little waste.
