I have thirteen of these for different calibers of course and had one for the .204 caliber which was about three to four years old. This summer after a woodchuck hunt I was cleaning my 204 and while pulling the snake through the barrel it tore so I pulled the other end out the opposite way. Thinking I had the entire snake removed but thought I had better look through the barrel to be sure. When I tried to look the barrel I could not see through the barrel meaning there was still a piece hung up in the barrel. Good thing I checked. I used my steel .17 caliber rod and pushed out a Six inch piece that somehow remained in the barrel. If I would not have checked the barrel and shot the rifle something bad would have happened. I like these snakes to clean the barrels but I don't like them to tear inside the barrels. I bought a replacement but if a second one tears I'm done with the snake cleaners. Hope I have answered your question.Read full review

the bore snake is so tight fitting I have to tie it to my Jeep and pull it through the 204 bore. I tried it on my 25-06 and had trouble getting it through it. I don't know if the wrong one was packaged or what but it is real hard to use.

this is a .204 model but I use it for my 22lr barrels because I can pull it through easier than a regular 22 bore snake. One year ago I bought a 22 bore snake, cheap model, it was difficult to use and it failed after about 10 applications. so far so good with this one.

It is very tight in the barrel. After 1st pull had 1 small grain in bore, added oil to the loop and pulled through again, the bore was now perfectly clean. I am very pleased with product and would highly recommend it to anyone viewing my revue. Fisher-Faster

The crimp on the weight makes it too wide to go through the .20 bore! Not good!!
