Sorry to be late to this Mark, but Al has already given you my answer. I have only used a bore snake on my garden gun when I got it and then after use.
I have found it to be all I have needed to keep the barrel clean so far. I've had very few rounds through it so far.
Yes, I was prompted by Al, so I bought one. Seems to work great! I have used one before for my 357 revolver, but now I think I'll be using Snakes almost exclusivly! ( those snakes I don't shoot anyway :lol: )
Much eisier to clean and lube a lever gun. No need to take it down to clean from the breech.

I took what I think is a better pic of the GG.
