Can I assume this kit works well for an AR-15 (.223) bore? Or (other than a chamber-first Otis cable) can someone recommend a "better" rod type?

It will work for an AR, however I would recommend spending the extra money on a Tipton Deluxe Cleaning Rod.

Looks like you could to me. http://www.outers-guncare.com/resources/usagecharts.aspx#cleaning_kit

This is the standard 60mm wide rail width to fit 15mm rods. You will need to verify your rig is the standard 60mmx15mm, I'm 99.9% sure it is I really haven't seen any oddball rigs out there on the market, in the affordable price range that is ;)

I would advise you to buy a $20 suppresor/bore extension. This one is plastic and will not fit on most guns properly. In addition, the threading doesn't work with a metal barrel...the metal barrel eats it up. :)

Works great for 5.56. Much better than any of the bag type brass catchers. More problematic for 7.62. It can cause jams. Pro tip. The rings that come with it suck. Get a 1in flashlight holder and it's easy on and off. I use the one made by mako.

To Alain Schaeffer, the only difference in the kits is the size of the bore brushes. You'll get a 9mm sized brush if you order that kit, which will also work fine for .40 cal and a couple of others, but all you need to do to make it a kit for any handgun caliber is buy the corresponding bore brush and they're dirt cheap. The rods are the same size for each caliber.

This should function o.k. The mouth on the catcher is more than big enough for the .556, and should catch the .308 shells too. The straps are plenty long to go around most any forearms. Since the .308 casings are a bit larger, the catch bag will fill up quicker, but probably will still hold 15 or 20.

This rod is sturdy enough to work in any gun. I use it for my AR15 and 22 rifle. Just make sure you follow your owner's manual and use the right tip. All tips are standard and will screw into the end of the rod.

I have a 5.56 AR and they work great. I use the snakes on all my guns. very quick and easy to clean with. If you get the right snake you will be happy with the way it cleans and oils all at one pull of it. The kit listed has everything you need to clean with and works well. Hope this helps.

I have used it on my AR-15 as well as a Remington .22 they worked fine you wont get one inch groupings but it will get you close enough to fine tune it to where you want. The only issue is the laser is very loose in the barrel and falls out. So as long as your not shooting down a hill you will be alright.

I have this mount on a NEF. Chambered in .223 on SB2 action. The distance you are looking for (top of barrel to bottom of scope rings) is .800" I was not too impressed with this mount. But then again you get what you pay for. It is cast steel and very heavy. The radius of the scope base mount was a little lager than the diameter/radius of my barrel. So the fit was less than desirable. So I actually put down a small bed of epoxy when I installed the mount. This fills in the excess space. Just do a seach for "Making the NEF Handi Rifle Better" and you will find the info.

The Snake bore cleaner does not replace the Rod and brass brushes for cleaning your gun. It is for when you are out shooting, (many rounds) that it is a easy and fast way to keep your guns clean and shooting good. I would not use a electric drill with the rods to clean a gun. It should only take a few times down the barrel to clean the bore. Be careful you could damage the bore using a drill less control.

I can see the .223 holes from 100yds. Anything further becomes difficult for me. It will work with most red dots just get the right mounts.

It should work fine..But i would look for a bore snake made specifically for a .308 caliber

I have used it on several AR15's but not in the manner it recommends for bolt type rifles. You will have to play with it some to get what you need from it.

this kit has it all. It will fit any size bore on any revolver, rifle, or shotgun. Hope this helped you out.

Hi, The Otis tactical cleaning kit comes with 3 lengths rods, 8 inch, 30 inch and 34 inch. The 34 inch is for small calibers and the other 2 are for everything else.

Absolutely it works very well on any AR-15. I have one mounted on a DPMS Panther MPR15 with a 22inch barrel, shooting match grade 5.56 ammo, it's a rock solid platform. It's mounted with a M223 Nikon M-223 XR 2-ring mounting system, shooting (-) MOA at 200 yards. I would not change a thing. IMHO.
