| I bought a used 82a1 and was wondering where is cheapest place to order cleaning kit, an otis off there site was 60$ shipped if I remember right. |

Cheap = Crappy.
Go for the AAA-Ammo setup. Includes bore guide, stainless rod, stainless jag, and chamber cleaner. You just spent $7k+ on a rifle...why chinch on stuff to keep in running...kinda like putting a $200 scope on a 50. Just doesn't make sense. -David Edgewood, NM |

I'm thinking of going with this Otis Kit from Cabela's for my new Bushmaster BA-50. I was eyeballing it today when I was there buying some handloading bullets. It's nice! Bill T.

i would recommend using a cleaning system that has NO brass jags, fittings or parts you never really now if you've gotten all of the brass and copper fouling out with brass parts in your cleaning system Yep. Which is exactly why I always recommend a full stainless rig...like the one from AAA-ammo.com. If you have a brass jag, brass brush, or brass ferule, you'll clean way longer than you need to because the damn cleaning equipment will dissolve with your solvent. -David |

How effective is a pull-through kit versus a guide-rod based kit? Both work fine...I have both and prefer the cable though, to me just easier to do with the 82. Especially with the CQ like I have now, had a standard version previously. Also the kit being a lot smaller would make it the best choice to take into the field. Thanks for the info Beltfed. |

I bought 3 shot gun cleaning kits to get the length I needed from K-Mart. Total cost $10. The thicker rod you get with the shotgun cleaning kit doesn't flex. So what if you have to screw pieces together, try carrying that one piece rod around. Dave: Ur a tightwad...cleaning your 50 BMG with stuff you picked up on a bluelight special.
