The Best Tools to Keep Your AR on Target
By Rob Reaser
Our ARs have never run so smoothly or cleanly until we discovered this compact, easy-to-use AR maintenance kit.
How to clean an AR-platform rifle is not something you have to explain to serious MSR owners. For starters, they understand that the AR’s somewhat complex internal workings and the sometimes delicate gas impingement system demands a lot more attention to cleaning protocols than, say, AK-platform rifles. Furthermore, experienced shooters know that no firearm lives by a shoot-and-forget it philosophy. Reliability, accuracy, and longevity depend on basic cleaning maintenance.
Unfortunately, many AR owners fail to appreciate the cleaning and lubrication requirements of their rifles. For those who haven’t bothered to read the instruction manual, or have purchased their first AR second-hand and don’t have a guide book, we’re going to show you the breakdown of the basic AR field-cleaning process.
But before you can get started cleaning your AR, you need a few essential items. Since we’re all about convenient, one-stop shopping, we turn our attention to Otis Technology. Known as the go-to source for military, law enforcement, and civilian hunting and shooting firearms cleaning solutions, Otis makes a turnkey cleaning kit specifically for the 5.56 AR.
The Otis MSR/AR Cleaning system includes everything you need to give your rifle a comprehensive cleaning, all in a lightweight carry pouch. The Star Chamber cleaning tool, O-12 AR cleaner, and Ripcord are sold separately. To see how it works, and how to give your AR a deep-cleaning, check out the Otis cleaning video below.
For experienced AR owners, we want to spice up this discussion by letting you in on a couple of tools you may not even know about…the B.O.N.E. tool and the Star Chamber cleaning tool.
