I picked one of these the last time I ordered some cleaning supplies from midway. I haven't decided whether I like it or not. I didn't like the idea of using it on the muzzle end as it was intended but I did find out that it fits into the empty bolt carrier area and does a good job of centering the cleaning rod. Does anyone else have one of these items and use it regularly? Personally I think it was a waste of $6.89 ... |
+1. It's so easy to clean an AR from the breech, that I can't imagine why anyone would try from the muzzle. I use OTIS though, so no guide for me. Though they do make a specifice guide for the AR family. |
Interesting...could you give some details as I have a little trouble visualizing how you do this. I've been looking for a way to protect both ends as I clean. Thanks |
I use a Sinclair guide with solvent port in the upper receiver, and a 10/22 muzzle guide on the barrel (I have a 0.920 bull barrel and the front sight base is set back from the muzzle). The 10/22 guide has been modified by cutting an internal o-ring groove to keep it on the muzzle. I insert the rod through the Sinclair guide, and the 10/22 guide keeps it centered as the rod tip exits and re-enters the bore. |
Noooooo... Not the sissy way. I can't picture the guys on Omaha Beach pulling out Otis kits(or muzzle guides for that matter) because they were worried about getting a little crud into the chamber.
