girlfriend says to just hit the cleaning rod I got with a hammer and tap that sucker out but Im wondering if I should lube it up first or what i got this bad boy shooting just the way i like it and dont want to mess up the accuracy by banging on it.  Im going back to patchs from now on for sure.

If it's a bore snake how come one end or the other isn't still hanging out of the barrel?

About your only option is going to be tap it out...Maybe brass or wood dowels?

Can you reach it with anything that can grab it?

Mine broke in my .50bmg, allowing me to grab the bastard with needle nose pliers - but I'm guessing you're probably dealing with a smaller bore - and less room...


Not sure what the best plan of attack is - if you oil it, will it swell?

Maybe a wooden dowel and a hammer - so you are sure not to hurt the bore?

Burn it out?

Why does your girlfriend have a beard?  And tell her to put a shirt on, this isn't BOTD for crying out loud!

If you have a 16in barrel isn't the other end hanging out? Maybe you have a different brand than mine, but all of mine are long enough to stick out both ends.

OP, a rubber tipped blow gun hooked to a good air compressor at 150 plus psi might remove it....

Well played.

Anyhow, try tying the loose end on something and pulling it back out.  If it breaks, then high pressure air, or a rod driven hard.

It's cloth and metal bristles so I don't see how lubing it is going to help any.

Trying to pound it out will most likely only wedge it more firmly in place. It's gonna have to be pulled through, either in one piece or multiple.
If it's a rifle-length bore snake, one end or the other is sticking out. Drill a 3/8 or 1/2 inch hole in a piece of 2x4. Thread it over the end of the bore snake that's sticking out. Grab the end of the bore snake with pliers. Use the block of wood as a fulcrum, prying and rotating the pliers and twisting the snake up around the pliers as you go.
If it's a pistol length bore snake, and neither end is sticking out, you just found out why you should not have been a cheap charlie.
If it's an actual boar snake, try putting its favorite food at the end of the barrel closest to its head. That might induce it to crawl out. Capture it and post up pics: GD likes pics of unusual snakes.

Rules pic aside, clear it the same way you would a squib. I use a 1 piece cleaning rod.

I don't use bore snakes.  I'd get a wooden dowel that is just barely able to fit and pound it out.  If the dowel is too small it will let the cloth get into the edges and get stuck.

tackled this bad boy.  got her pounded out if you know what i mean but im a little scared this tac driver might have taken a hit in the accuracy department.   Gonna go back to the junk pile next weekend and shoot it again next weekend and shoot it again just to be sure but use patchs this time.

Judging my the way you are holding the barrel I would say you have plenty of experience dealing with bent tips.

1..put barrel/upper in vice
2..pour small amount of diesel/kerosene/lighter fluid in barrel
3..light on fire
4..repeat steps 1-3 as needed

Pretty sure this is a troll thread. Never heard of one break that you could not grab the other end

Start by hitting you head with that hammer for not throwing away a rotten, worn out bore snake.
