The Otis Ripcord (brand part no. FG-RC-325) is a one-pass bore cleaner built for 5.56mm, .223, and .22 caliber rifles, running the full 36 in. length breech-to-muzzle with no gravity feed required. Otis Technologies builds the Ripcord around a rigid, helix-shaped rubber core that keeps its braided Nomex cleaning surface pressed against the bore, engaging the rifling for an aggressive clean in a single pass. The Nomex surface tolerates up to 700 degrees of heat, so it can be run through a hot barrel at the range without waiting for a cool-down, and an 8-32 thread lets a bore brush attach for an even more thorough clean.
