Otis Ripcord .223/5.56mm Bore Cleaner

Otis Ripcord Bore Cleaner: Field-Ready Rifle Maintenance

The Ripcord represents a thoughtful approach to rifle cleaning—one that acknowledges the realities of shooting in the field. When you cannot access your full cleaning kit, this tool delivers meaningful results in a single pass.

Design and Construction

The Ripcord employs a rigid, helix-shaped rubber core that maintains constant contact with the bore walls. This design ensures the cleaning surface engages the rifling throughout the barrel, providing aggressive fouling removal without excessive effort.

The braided Nomex surface performs dual duty: it loosens stubborn carbon and copper deposits while simultaneously capturing and trapping fouling particles. This combination makes the tool effective across varying levels of barrel fouling.

Practical Features

• 10 inches of aggressive cleaning surface for thorough bore engagement
• Heat resistance to 700°F allows cleaning immediately after shooting, when the barrel is still warm
• Breech-to-muzzle operation in a single, straightforward pass
• 8-32 threaded ends compatible with all Otis cleaning system components
• Nomex fiber construction withstands the demands of field use

A Tool for Serious Shooters

The Ripcord fills a genuine gap in field maintenance. It is not a replacement for comprehensive cleaning at home, but rather a practical solution for maintaining rifle performance when a full cleaning system is unavailable. For hunters, competitive shooters, and those who spend time at the range, this tool earns its place in your kit.
