Pardon my ignorance, but how does one use these bore guides (when cleaning from the muzzle end)? [/quote]
*Very carefully! {CHORTLE!}

PS. So far, I've been using "Boresnake" aka "The World Fastest Bore Cleaner" when unable to use rods from the breech end.

Actually... {GRIN!} *That* is probably the best thing to `roll down the pike' since `sliced bread'! (There's another brand out there that uses a coated flexible stranded wire, too. I *think* it's from Otis but I can't remember prezactly I think.) Not only does it do a very passable job on all but the worst fouled barrel but it's something one can pretty much stuff into one's pocket and have it with them for those times when we all `wish' we had a cleaning kit and didn't. *And* even on the most recalcitrant to clean from the breech end firearm one *can* clean from the breech end, *no* excuses! I have them for all the assorted calibres I own and try and keep at least 3 of each so that not only do I have one with me and one on my bench but also in whatever carrying case the firearm may `reside' in, too. (I also happen to have my `share' of `solid' cleaning rods, too. You've got to have them for those *really* `nasty' cleaning jobs that have a way of rearing their heads. {BSE GRIN!})
