Otis gun cleaning kits, what’s the reason for a kit like this?
I started out with a 22 Caliber Hoppes 3 piece gun rod and it did me well for many years. That smell of Hoppes number 9 is something I will never forget but it’s been a long time since I have ever used that even though I believe I have a small amount of it somewhere. There are plenty of reasons to think about updating your gun cleaning supplies because things really have been changing. I was at a trade show years ago and finally got some first hand experience cleaning a bolt action rifle and an AR15 rifle. As soon as I saw the kit put back together I realized that this is exactly what someone being deployed out in the field or wanted to pack up in a backgpack would want. It’s a much better kit than what you would get out a Russian AK.
Gun lubes have changed and improved but I don’t know how anyone can come up with a better field use gun cleaning system than this. Boresnakes are very useful but not all guns can be cleaned very well with just a boresnake and sometimes you need something like the Otis gun cleaning kits because they have tools for scrapping carbon off or your gun or just giving you more caliber options. Some of the cleaning kits are specific to firearm calibers and then others are for handguns, rifles, shotguns or variations of that. They also come with cleaning lubricants. I primarily use mine on my AR15 if I am doing more than 1 day on the range
