Otis pull through bore cleaning.

[NF1E]

I was asked how one can use a cable to clean a bore.

First off, the Otis system , I think, is perfection. Each patch has 3 slots and 2 sides so you get 6 pulls through the bore with each patch. The trick with Otis is how the patch is rigged on the end of the cable loop. No need to remove the bolt on most rifles and same with semis.  I like to soak the patch with solvent, pull through , let set and run a clean patch or two to finish. If need be one can pull a bore brush through during the process. Cable is inserted from the chamber end and pulled out the muzzle. Works like a champ. The more of the patch you start with through the loop, the tighter the patch will fit the bore. Works fine to dry patch during precision shooting with no need to take a bolt out. Whatta Hobby!
