I had the stock on the edge of a table while dropping it down and slipped - so, guess it's better to use your legs or just put it barrel down on the floor. Gorilla super glue should do the trick, but ohhhh the cursing.

I hate the bore snakes, are they really that much better than patches?
I use bore snakes on my shotguns and as a quick maintenance cleaning on everything else to mostly prevent carbon rings in the throat/chamber. Patches and a good copper solvent are the only way to remove copper fouling from a barrel. I typically do a good copper cleaning once a year or when accuracy starts to degrade. A good quality barrel shouldn't need cleaning often at all and a little copper fouling actually helps accuracy.
