Vman - I think the main purpose of the Bore Snake is to provide a relatively portable and quick method of cleaning in hunting situations. Personally, with the amount of shooting I do, I would not rely on the Bore Snake to clean my firearms for storage. I would, however, use it while I was hunting to remove any dust or debris that might foul the bore. I'm not sure what the composition of the fibres are, but adding solvents or oils might accelerate their breakdown or effectiveness. Hope this helps. Regards, Mike
