can the bore snake be used on a 45 cal?
593564
As others have said this kit does not contain a bore snake. Still there are plenty of brushes and extensions to handle anything from .223 to 12 ga. I have cleaned a .45 acp handgun and a .330 win mag rifle in the same sitting with it. The only thing you will need to purchase are additional patches as they run out real quick.

Not a stupid question at all. The caliber .45 can mean ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) or it can be .45 Long Colt (or simply 45 Colt) like those fired in single-action revolvers and others. The bore snake for 45 acp will also work with .45 Colt, .454 Casull, .45 Winchester Magnum or any other "45". In fact, it can be used in .40 caliber firearms (10mm) and works quite nicely. They work well in the "Judge" revolver, as it fires both .410 shotgun and .45 Colt ammunition.Hope this helps.

a .45 cal pistol has a barrel with an inside diameter of .450". if that is your pistol then no these will not fit. a smith n wesson replica (made by umarex?) .177 cal pellet gun has a barrel with an inside diameter of .177". if this is your pistol, then yes these will work in that one.

Yes you can. I have had to do that on a particular rifle and it worked out fine.

The Bore snake is more for a quick cleaning after a short range session, the bore guide is for use with a cleaning rod, I use the guide for a more detailed cleaning at home if needed, the bore guide protects the bore from getting banged up while running the cleaning rod through the chamber, I have both and use as mentioned. You do not need the bore guide if you only plan on using the bore snake.

Absolutely. I have one on a DPMS LR-308 and it works great. I would not be scared to put this on a 50BMG.

Yes but use a bore guide to prevent wear on the bore and chamber. Stainless is harder than the metal used on the gun and will mare the metal over time.

it makes cleaning the bore much easier, and you will do a better job. if you have invested in the rifle it's worth spending a little more for this to keep it clean. i think you would be better off just using a bore snake rather than jamming a brush down the muzzle. you have a nice rifle, take care of it.

I ordered this to use with my .40 cal but did not like it so I never used it. I can only assume that it would work.

I can't give a definitive answer to this question but I recently read on the S&W forums that there was no difference in the kit for the 9/40/357 and the kit for the 45. Your best bet would be to check with Apex directly.

Bore guide really is for a new rifle break in period, after that using a snake is fine. Also it did not fit the 5.49 X 39 I have

Rifle dies will work also. You will also need to buy the shell plate for the corresponding case size. The primer feeder for the .45 is large. For some Rifle sizes, you will need the small primer feeder setup.

If your .177 cal has a steel barrel it will work fine... It goes on the end of any caliber barrel. And the laser is pretty precise in the front...

Is this tool a must, no not really, a bore snake could work and isn't bad for use in the field. Should you have one I would say yes. You will need to do a more thorough cleaning than a bore snake provides. Cleaning from the muzzle is a big no no. When it comes to cleaning a rifle you risk damaging the muzzle crown and affecting the accuracy of the barrel. Wheeler makes a nice little link that holds the upper and lower open and then with this guide it's a piece of cake to clean. It reduces the effort, time and mess involved for doing a proper cleaning all while protecting the accuracy of your barrel.

It should work fine..But i would look for a bore snake made specifically for a .308 caliber

Yes. There is an arbor that will do 30 caliber bores. My kit included a .177 arbor as well for pellet/bb's. If you want to sight in your muzzle-loader or slug gun you will need to pick up the arbor that handles shotguns and black-powder rifles. Also important is that this will work best on low to medium height scope mounts. The taller the mount, the further up the grid will appear and will make it only useful for centering your windage adjustment. Best of luck...

I have a 40 cal. Beretta and it works great. I do believe it will work with any 40 cal. ammo. It's a great tool.
