The Otis FGRC264 Ripcord eliminates the need for traditional cleaning rods and patches with its innovative one-pass bore cleaning system. This 36-inch cleaning cord combines Nomex fibers with molded rubber components to scrub and clear fouling from rifle barrels in seconds. The integrated design prevents stuck rods and eliminates the risk of bore damage from improper cleaning techniques.
What Makes This Different
Unlike conventional cleaning rods that require multiple passes and separate patches, the Ripcord features built-in scrubbing surfaces that clean the entire bore length in a single pull-through motion. The Nomex fiber construction resists fraying and maintains its cleaning effectiveness through hundreds of uses. The molded rubber core provides consistent barrel contact while the outer fibers lift fouling and debris.
