After years of using Otis, some feed back about their gun cleaning kits
I first got a demonstration about the Otis gun cleaning systems from a Rep at the Atlantic City Police and Security Expo several years ago. He went through the rifle cleaning system and showed me all of the tools and the reasons for using the system. In short, I got it, the Otis Gun cleaning system is best for use out in the field more so than just another cleaning kit to have in your home after a day at the range. Nobody wants to have to haul a one piece cleaning rod with them if they have to clean out the barrel of a bolt action while out in the field. There is no practical or safe way to carry something so flimsy and easy to bend, thus the Otis gun cleaning system.
The only issue I have with the gun cleaning system after all of these years is I’m wondering when Otis is going to change their gun cleaning lubrication. It seems that M-Pro 7 and Slip 2000 products have really caught on not just because they work, but because the Otis gun cleaning kits have some toxic materials in their lubrication and the other do not. If constant exposure to lead is an issue for you, what about all of that other stuff, Hoppes gun cleaning is probable the nastiest thing you can use anymore even though it works, it’s basically a Kerosene and stings up your house. I’d recommend people slip some Slip 2000 in your Otis gun cleaning system and you’d really have a cool cleaning kit.
