Otis Ripcord 16 Gauge Bore Cleaner

The Otis Ripcord 16 Gauge Bore Cleaner (Otis Technologies part no. FGRC516) is a pull-through bore cleaning tool built specifically for 16 gauge shotguns. It’s made from a memory-flex cable with an integrated bronze brush, wrapped in a braided Nomex covering rated to withstand up to 700 degrees of heat. The design runs breech-to-muzzle with no gravity feed required, and its rigid, helix-shaped rubber core maintains contact with the bore walls as it passes through. For hunters and clay shooters who want a fast, effective clean without carrying a full rod system, the Ripcord delivers a thorough one-pass cleaning that’s easy to pack for the field or range.
