Like a Bore Snake - Ye Olde Pull Through - 06/24/19
This might anger some, but last fall I was given four pull throughs, made offshore. 17 cal, .224, 6mm, and .308.
This isn't a review, just one person who tried them over a period of about 8 or 9 months. They work fine. Wash up easily. Don't appear to have any significant wear. I'll keep using them because the price was right. The price of these varies, but they are $8.20 to $12.50, depending on the seller.
While they are not a substitute for a proper cleaning, they sure make short work of cleaning out crud when you're at the range.
The grumblers might ask why I don't use US made Bore Snakes. I have some, but I can see why these offshore pull throughs are a big seller. They are 4 to 5 times cheaper than the Hoppes Bore Snake. The CDN price for one Hoppes BS is $25 to $40 (depends on seller and cartridge).

I made it through the wilderness
Somehow I made it through
Didn't know how lost I was
Until I found you
I was beat
Incomplete
I'd been had, I was sad and blue
But you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
Shiny and new
Like a Bore Snake,
Used for the very first time...
