Otis Ripcord .223/5.56mm Bore Cleaner – 36-inch One-Pass Rope

Description

When your rifle needs a quick clean between strings and you don't feel like breaking out the full kit, the Otis Ripcord is the tool that lives in your range bag for exactly that moment. It's a pull-through bore cleaner built for .22, .223 Rem and 5.56mm barrels, and the whole idea is simple: run it through breech-to-muzzle in one pass and you're done. No gravity feed, no fiddling with patches, no waiting for the barrel to cool.

What Makes the Ripcord Pull Its Weight

The magic is in the core. A rigid, helix-shaped rubber center keeps the cleaning surface pressed hard against the bore, so it follows the rifling and scrubs a full 360 degrees as it travels down the barrel. Wrapped around that is braided Nomex, the same fiber used in fire-resistant gear, which works double duty by loosening fouling like a brush while trapping and carrying it out like a patch. There's roughly 10 inches of aggressive cleaning surface doing the actual work on each pass.

Built for Range and Field Cleaning

Because the Nomex handles heat up to 700 degrees, you can run the Ripcord through a barrel that's still warm from shooting. That's a real advantage when you're at the range or out in the field and want to knock down carbon before it bakes in. The whole thing rolls up small and weighs next to nothing, so it disappears into a pack or cleaning kit until you need it.

Play Nice With Your Other Otis Gear

The 36-inch Ripcord comes fitted with 8-32 threaded brass ends, which means it plays nice with the rest of the Otis system. Thread on a bore brush for a more thorough scrub, or add solvent to the fibers when you want to step it up. Made in the USA and backed by Otis' lifetime warranty, it's the kind of no-drama tool that earns a permanent spot in the bag.
