About the OTIS Ripcord Deluxe Gun Cleaning Kits

When the US Military requested a product with an easy-feed design that could be used from a standing position and offered the best clean in a single pass, OTIS Technology’s engineering team got to work.

That set of requirements gave rise to the OTIS Ripcord, which has been combatting carbon and fouling in firearms, by military, law enforcement and sporting users ever since.

Here are some answers to OTIS Ripcord FAQs; and a few pointers to help you make the most of your OTIS Ripcord or OTIS Ripcord Deluxe kit:

What makes the OTIS Ripcord different from the rest?

In a nutshell: anatomy. Because of its construction and material composition, Ripcord offers the greatest one-pass cleaning for firearms. At its core, the Memory-Flex® cable is incredibly durable and resilient. This eliminates the need for a gravity feed and enables you to run your Ripcord through your gun from Breech-to-Muzzle®. The cleaning surface is kept forced against the bore by the stiff, helix-shaped rubber core, which engages the rifling for a forceful clean.

You may clean it at the range or in the field while the barrel is still hot because the braided Nomex® surface can withstand temperatures of up to 700°.

A bore brush can be attached (included with Ripcord Deluxe kits) for an even deeper clean. It’s quick, efficient, and incredibly portable.

How often should I clean my firearm?

Cleaning frequency depends on usage and shooting conditions. For best performance and reliability, firearms should be cleaned after use, especially after extended shooting sessions or exposure to wet, dusty or dirty environments.

Should I use the OTIS Ripcord Deluxe with solvent or should I use it dry?

You can use the OTIS Ripcord Deluxe or Standard bore cleaner, dry or wet.

When the firearm is still warm and the carbon and fouling are still loose in the barrel, we advise utilising the Ripcord.

Before it cools, the fouling is easier to remove from the barrel. Consider it like washing your dishes immediately after cooking instead than letting them sit.

Just remember that although you can use solvent, using the Ripcord dry prolongs its life.

If I do want to use solvent/oil, where do I apply it to the Ripcord?

If you do choose to use the Ripcord wet, put a few drops of oil or solvent on the Ripcord’s leading end. This is the front end of the Ripcord’s largest section.

As an alternative, you can affix a patch and slotted tip to the Ripcord and apply solvent or oil straight to the patch to prolong its lifespan.

Can you clean a Ripcord?

If you regularly use an OTIS Ripcord® to clean your firearms, you’ll eventually notice it becoming dirty with carbon, fouling, oil and debris.

The good news is that yes, an OTIS Ripcord can be cleaned and reused multiple times, helping to extend its lifespan and maintain its cleaning effectiveness.

You can remove big particles with an AP (All Purpose) brush, which is included with every OTIS Ripcord Deluxe kit.

NOTE: Since lead particles from the Ripcord can leave a deposit on clothes or dishes, we do not advise putting it in the washing machine or dishwasher!

Just like any firearm cleaning tool, a Ripcord accumulates:

• Carbon deposits
• Powder residue
• Copper fouling
• Dirt and dust
• Excess gun oil and solvents

Using an excessively dirty Ripcord can reduce its cleaning performance and potentially transfer contaminants back into the bore, so clean away!

What are the threaded ends for on a Ripcord?

The Ripcord bore cleaner from OTIS is a truly adaptable product because of its threaded ends.

You can increase the cleaning by attaching a brush or slotted tip & patch to the 8-32 threads.

To help draw the Ripcord through the barrel, you can also attach the included T-handle, supplied with each OTIS Ripcord Deluxe.

• Calibre-specific Ripcord

• Cotton mop
