I just got my RRA mid-length upper and need advice on a cleaning kit.  I have been looking at Otis cleaning kits on ebay.  I can't decide if I want to buy one of these or if I shoudl  get a Dewey  1 piece rod.  Anyone have an opinion about either one of these?????

I love Otis, it's all I use for rifle bore cleaning, others will say, "yeah, until you get a patch stuck."  Hasn't happened to me yet.  You can't go wrong with the Dewey either.

They work you may have a bit of a learning curve as you have trouble learning to make the right size patch at first. I would get a cleaning rod even if you do get the Otis as to help clear anything that gets stuck.

I have an Otis kit for the field.
I have a one piece rod and a tackle box cleaning kit for normal use.

I love my Otis kits. I still use a Dewey rod at home but in the field I carry an
Otis.

We issue out OTIS kits to our deployers and if they come back with a dirty gun we make them opened up the cleaning kit, still new in package, and clean their own gun. I'm impressed with the OTIS kit and I have a few for my own toyz.

Whatever helps you keep it clean and running is best.  I use Otis myself.  What I wonder is,after spending hundreds of dollars on the rifle, why are you trying to save ten on the cleaning kit?  Just love her and she will love you back.
