One product, Moly-Fusion at ShooterSolutions.com/molyfusion1.html It has been reviewed at a bunch of the smaller-than the big AR15.com forums, and mentioned at a few more. It might be worth a look.

I've been looking for metal patch holders for my AR-15s for years. I had been using the plastic ones, but they would strip and get stuck in the barrel.
I log on to this forum and find what I'm looking for at Kleen-Bore in 10 minutes! Awesome! -Dan Verssen |

Where's the best place to find a Dewey rod? What length do I want for a 16" carbine that won't have any clearance issues.
They can be obtained from Brownell's. They offer a 17 inch and a 24 inch rod, and longer. -DF |

I use Corrosion X on all gun things in storage including a few firearms. Works great. |

I need a good cleaning kit to replace my old and military kit. I basically have a box full of odds and ends. Its a real mess. The more I research the more confussed I get with all the different systems and choices. I'm actually looking at the Otis system. I never tried it and some people say stay away others say its the best thing since slice bread. Anyone have a better solution? Is this kit worth $196?

You can order direct from the Dewey rods website:
www.deweyrods.com/ I ordered a chamber cleaning kit and rod guide with no problems...except they shipped fed-ex, so I couldn't track the shipment. Still got in fast though, relatively speaking. Hell of a lot faster than when I ship from Canada. |

Where is the Boresnake? It's good for a quick field cleaning until a rod and brush can be used.

I bought an M16 kit sold by Brigade Quartermasters at the Post Clothing Sales the other day.
I was pleased to find out that it is really an all-purpose military cleaning kit; it came with the standard rod sections, bottle, and 5.56 bore and chamber brushes, and additionally came with a 9mm, .45, and a .30 rifle brush as well. I can now bring this one kit to the range and have the capability to clean most of the weapons that I own. I just need to toss a very small rag in the pouch, along with some larger caliber patches and I should be good to go. It's no Dewey, but if I decide to clean at the range it should be perfect. Here's a link if anybody is interested: BQM Cleaning Kit |

Why can't I find the Tapco Deluxe Cleaning Kit referenced in the first post? I went to their site and they have only 2 cleaning kits available for AR15. Pouch and Butt stock kits.

I am new to the rifle/AR15 world and I am a bit confused by all the choices for cleaning products. Bottom line can I clean, lube/protect my AR by just using one type of CLP or do I need CLP, Carbon cleaner, gun oil, etc... I would appreciate any help in this area. Last thing I want to do is not protect and maintence my rifle, but I don't want to spend $$$ and wasted time over cleaning.

Stupid question, but where do I get the long Q-tips?
I tried the regular ones and they don't work anywhere near as well as the longer ones with non-flex handles. |

BTT.
Did we ever figure out where to get those long, wooden Q-Tips? |

Just a note about cleaning an AR, if I may.
There are a large number of very good products that can be used as a solvent to clean the weapon and an equally large number of lubricants to lube the rifle. I believe that almost all of them will work fine, as long as you do the job properly. Here's a post I did on the method I use. Before anyone asks, it is "one way" to do the job, not "the only way" to do it.  Cleaning and Lubing an AR |
