Otis Ripcord .308/7.62mm Bore Cleaner

Otis Ripcord Bore Cleaner for .308/7.62mm

The Ripcord represents a significant advancement in field cleaning technology. When you cannot access your full cleaning system, this tool delivers results in a single, efficient pass from breech to muzzle.

Design and Construction

The Ripcord features a rigid, helix-shaped rubber core that maintains constant contact with the bore walls and actively engages the rifling. This design ensures aggressive fouling removal without requiring multiple passes. The braided Nomex surface combines the benefits of a brush—loosening stubborn deposits—with the function of a patch, capturing and removing fouling particles in one motion.

Performance Characteristics

• Cleaning Surface: 10 inches of aggressive cleaning material
• Heat Resistance: Nomex fibers withstand temperatures up to 700°F, allowing cleaning of hot barrels immediately after shooting
• Compatibility: 8-32 threaded end fits all Otis cleaning system components
• Length: 36 inches overall for convenient handling
• Caliber: Designed for .308 Winchester and 7.62mm NATO firearms

Practical Application

The easy-feed design makes operation straightforward—simply attach to your cleaning rod and run the tool through the bore. The helix shape ensures the cleaning surface remains pressed against the rifling throughout the stroke, maximizing contact and cleaning effectiveness. This makes the Ripcord an essential addition to any shooter's field kit, particularly for those who demand quick, effective maintenance without compromising cleaning quality.
