I was a Battalion S4 in the run up to our deployment to the sandbox. We purchased these cleaning kits and issued them prior to the deployment.

+1 Also our supply has them....just go in and get one. Altho, the cleaning rods from the old kits are useful.....I do like the flexible cord that comes with OTIS. |

We got the Otis kits, but I still prefer the older USGI kits. Get a dental pick.

1005-01-424-2999 M16A2/A4 kit class II
1005-01-526-7294 M4 kit The rest are on the Otis website, so far we have done pretty well ordering them, for those I could nto get through the regular supply system I got pretty fast via DOD Emall. The .50 kit took longest. Guys fight over Boresnakes however, and they are not in the system. |

They clean from breech to muzzle and do NOT FUBAR the crown of your barrel like steel rods do. Know where a lot of the muzzle wear comes from on CMP M1s? Cleaning with a steel rod and no bore guide. NONE of my match rifles have had a steel rod in them. EVER. ETA:corrected |
