I put my own together. I wasn't really enamored with the Otis kit; though it's a handy, compact kit, I felt it was awfully bare bones. So I pieced one together with the several items from an M2HB cleaning kit, and added a brush, a pick, some punches and tools, and put it all in a great tool roll I found on ebay.

Got one of those GI kits from Sarco. Great stuff. Not sure if they still have them.

I've been using an Otis multi-cal kit for years, is there something better I'm unaware of?

I use a 60" one piece coated rod, ball bearing handle. It will go from chamber to muzzle without my knuckles dragging on the stock, did that, not fun.
The Otis kits to me are geared more towards field use. While most kits come with everything you need to clean a rifle, it's hard to beat a properly sized rod for cleaning. Now, if we talk about cleaning products and lubes, science has come up with amazing products that won't kill you. |

I have an M2 cleaning rod for scrubbing the bore real good. Most of the time I use an Otis kit like the one issued in the M107's.

Brass rods with 50 end tools. Not much different than what I use on my 30 cal rifles except for the extra length of rod and bigger end tools.

So no one else is using a 50 cal boresnake? I just slather mine with CLP and drag it through 5 to 10 times.

+1 for the Otis military cleaning kit. It's nice and compact. Kind of hard to pull through though. I have to do a weird maneuver where I sit on the floor with my feet stretched out facing the muzzle. Then, pull the cord while I brace the rifle with my feet. But it works and I was able to pick up the 50BMG cleaning kit cheap on ebay.
I'd definitely do a military surplus cleaning rod if that option was available at a cheap price. Last I checked, they kind of dried up and are expensive when you can find them. Anyone have a line on them for a decent price? |
