The Otis FGRC325 Ripcord eliminates the need for traditional cleaning rods and patches with its innovative one-pass cleaning system. This 36-inch cord features integrated scrubbing and oil distribution technology that cleans .223/5.56mm barrels from breech to muzzle in seconds. The Nomex construction resists heat and chemicals while the molded rubber core ensures consistent contact with rifling.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional cleaning rods that require multiple passes and risk barrel damage, the Ripcord uses a continuous cord design with built-in cleaning zones. The 8-32 threaded brass weight allows attachment to standard cleaning kits, while the Nomex fiber construction provides superior cleaning power without the bulk of traditional patches. This system reduces cleaning time by 75% compared to rod-and-patch methods.
