Otis FGRC317 Ripcord .17 Cal Rifle Cleaning Cord 36" Nomex

The Otis FGRC317 Ripcord eliminates the need for traditional cleaning rods and multiple patches with its innovative single-pass cleaning system. This .17 caliber rifle cleaning cord features a built-in bronze brush and cleaning surface that removes fouling in one pull-through motion. The 36-inch length accommodates rifles up to 40 inches, making it suitable for everything from precision bolt-action rifles to AR-platform firearms.

What Makes This Different

Unlike conventional cleaning rods that require multiple passes and risk scratching the bore, the Ripcord uses a flexible Nomex fiber construction with an integrated bronze brush. The 8-32 thread attachment ensures secure connection to any standard cleaning kit. This single-cord system reduces cleaning time by up to 80% compared to traditional rod-and-patch methods while providing superior bore protection.

Key Features

• Integrated bronze brush and Nomex cleaning surface for single-pass cleaning
• 36-inch overall length handles barrels up to 40 inches
• 5-40 thread compatibility with standard cleaning accessories
• Heat-resistant Nomex fiber construction withstands solvents
• Flexible design prevents bore damage from rigid cleaning rods
• Compact storage - coils into small space for field use
• Reusable design provides hundreds of cleaning cycles

Field testing demonstrates the Ripcord's effectiveness across various rifle platforms and calibers. The bronze brush section removes carbon buildup while the Nomex trailing surface polishes the bore clean. This system works particularly well for precision rifles where bore condition directly impacts accuracy, as well as high-volume training rifles that require frequent maintenance. The flexible construction navigates barrel contours without binding.
