    I'm looking to buy a .22 pull-through; does anyone know a shop (online, or near Dublin) where I could get one?

    By pull through, I mean: An eye, for putting a piece of cleaning cloth through, connected by a string to a weight.

    Just ask or do a search for a bore snake ..

    It's made in a bunch of calibres , excellent product.
    Most gun shops in Ireland have them .

    Just be careful to not let the cord drag off the crown of the barrel as you pull through...

    Great for shotguns, not to be relied open for rifle cleaning.;)

    This quote worries me. What tends to happen?

    Alternately, can anyone answer the OP?

    Any form of "Pull through" for a rifle is a quick fix to get the worst of the dirt off, as these go..the bore snake is pretty good. Proper rifle cleaning .. would involve the use of a cleaning rod , a rod guide , patches , and your choice of solvents to remove whatever residue you need to remove , some are better at removing powder fouling , some are good at removing lead and others are excellent at removing copper.

    Here's a link to more info...

    And a discussion on various cleaning products...

    You can get as involved as you like in all this...
    I know several .22 shooters who clean their barrel as little as possible ..
    and some who make a hobby of it..:rolleyes:
