Hoppe's 24036D BoreSnake 10 Gauge Shotgun Bore Cleaner

The Hoppe's 24036D BoreSnake 10 Gauge Shotgun Bore Cleaner is a field-proven cleaning system built for shotgun shooters who want fast, effective barrel maintenance without the fuss of traditional rod-and-patch cleaning. The BoreSnake design solves a real problem: getting your bore clean quickly between range sessions or hunts, with a single pass that handles both fouling removal and debris clearing in one motion.

Unlike multi-step cleaning routines, the BoreSnake uses an integrated bronze brush to scrub out carbon buildup while a large tail section clears loose debris—delivering a cleaning surface area 160 times larger than a standard patch. That efficiency makes it ideal for shooters running buckshot or slugs, where carbon fouling accumulates quickly. The system is sized specifically for 10 gauge bores, ensuring a proper fit and effective contact with your barrel walls.

This version comes in the Snake Den carrying case, a compact hard case designed to keep your BoreSnake organized and protected in your range bag, truck, or backpack. The case lid doubles as a pull handle, snapping securely for storage and making it easy to grab during range trips or field cleanings. It's the kind of thoughtful design that turns a cleaning tool into something you'll actually use consistently.
