SKS Bore Snake Size?

[SteelCityCoach]

Hello,

Is there a specifically sized bore snake for an SKS? If not for those of you who may use one to clean yours, what size/calibre do you find works best?

Thanks for your help,

Coach

.30 cal would be my guess....

Really???

7.62x39 means 7.62mm wide (projectile) which translates to .308 inches. Just get the .30 cal boresnake and get back shooting.

if you can get a .311(303 lee-enfield bore diameter is similar)) one it will clean better than a .308 one. Your SKS should have a bore between .310 and .312 approximately.
