| I am looking to buy a cleaning kit for my ARs that travels well i.e. Not super large. I don't need a kit that comes with its own lubricant unless it is slip 2000. I am looking to buy two of them one for me and one for the girlfriend. Would love to know what you all like to use. Thanks! |

I have an extra Otis cleaning kit that’s been laying around. |
| I don't buy into the whole kit thing. I bought a usgi kit and about all I used was the chamber brush and tooth brush. I also bought an otus kit and have never used it. I use a bore snake. If it gets real bad I'll use a chamber brush on a cordless drill. A can of brake cleaner for if it gets a bunch of dirt in it. I run my gun wet with ATF and I have zero carbon build up so no need for brushes or scrapers |

GI cleaning kits because I prefer solid cleaning rods over cables. OP, I'd snag either a real older USGI kit or an Otis USGI kit off ebay. Issue something to soldiers, it will end up cheap on ebay. |

Am I the only one who found the Otis kit to complicated? I read the instructions, something about how to attach the patches differently depending on caliber. Uses proprietary patches. I could never remember all that. Bore snake is so easy! My gun cleaning kit is close to 35 years old, assembled my self, Plano tackle box, my own supplies. Purchased an Otis at the 2004 NRA show in Houston, never used it. I am back to basics, nothing complicated...Tipton rods, Shooters Choice breakdown rods, Tipton brushes, jags, Lyman tools, punches, Slip oils, Wilson Combat oils/grease, Wheeler Engineering tools... 77 |

I keep an Otis tactical cleaning kit with my AR-15. It fits easily inside of my rifle case or range bag. It has everything you need to clean and lube the rifle. They are a little pricey, but the quality it outstanding.
