How in the H-E-double hockey sticks do you get a bore snake out of your barrel when the dadgum pull string breaks half way down the barrel? Happened to a buddy of mine's .243 he was cleaning today. He swears it was the right snake. He fed it through the action of his model 700 and about half way through a pull, the string broke. He threatened to soak it with lighter fluid and burn the rope out. He thinks then he could push the brush out with a cleaning rod. Not a good idea I know, but I didn't really have a better one to offer him. Any ideas before he ruins his rifle?
