The Ripcord has an aggressive cleaning surface and is helix shaped to engage the rifling through the barrel. This tool cleans from breach to muzzle in one quick pass. This cleaning accessory makes a great gift for the hunter or sport shooter in your life. Review: Great--for pistols (but think twice for rifles) - The helix (spiral) shape of the cord acts as the cleaning device in Otis' competition for Hoppe's Boresnake Hoppe's BoreSnake Pistol and Revolver Bore Cleaner (Choose Your Caliber) . Some good points: the Nomex sheathing on the cord is very heat resistant. You can pull it down the barrel at the range even after aggressive shooting. It will not be unaffected by cleaning chemicals. You can toss it in a laundry bag (one made to protect garments from others) and send it through the laundry. The metal ends not only clamp the Nomex to the underlying spiral wire, it also has the standard female 8-32 threaded connector used by Otis and many other gun cleaning kit manufacturers. You can attach a bore swab on the tail or a handle (and you'll NEED IT on the rifle models!) on the leading end to help pull it through. I have the 9mm and .45 models of the pistol Ripcord and I think that they are great for the range bag (but still bring a rod in case of a barrel obstruction). Its lighter color shows that it's doing the job better than I can see on a Boresnake but, if you're already using the Viper Boresnake, I'm not sure that this necessarily cleans better. It pulls through the barrel easier than a Boresnake on a pistol but if you have a tight chamber area you might find the angle in to the barrel doesn't pull as easy as a Boresnake. But it's nice not to worry about the bore brush (Boresnake) getting crushed--and the length of the cable would seem to be a stiffer, longer cleaning surface (in theory). Some bad points: I'm reluctant to send a bare metal leading edge down a barrel. Because it's threaded, I add an inexpensive plastic patch slotted tip to the lead (can be bought separately and comes in any inexpensive cleaning kit). I didn't have a problem gripping and pulling the pistol model. But if a person did find it very tight you'd have to add a cleaning kit handle to pull it as you won't wrap this around your hand for leverage like you might have a Boresnake. The Ripcord is available in (longer, obviously) rifle models. I've got the .30 and .22. Chuck Hawk's site and other "big name" equipment reviewers are finding manufacturing problems in the rifle calibers. I could barely get the .22 caliber model through a Ruger .22. I bent the t-handle in an Otis round cleaning kit trying to pull the beast out before using more aggressive leverage. The .30 caliber model, which I've not put in a barrel after researching more after my experience with the .22, is reported to have similar problems which Otis claims to have addressed ("manufacturing tolerances in early models"). I found that the .30 model is not tapered enough for my longer barrel rifle and starts to stick before it comes far out the 26" bore. I will try it with an AR-10 after I get a strong t-handle to attach to the lead end of the Ripcord. The Ripcord edges out the Boresnake for me primarily in my confidence in its heat resistance (Nomex!) when I'm shooting groups and want to "swab" a hot barrel. But I'm not throwing my Boresnakes away (or using either for serious cleaning). If you wished that you could have pulled a swab with liquid (or bore brush, or patch puller, etc.) behind your Boresnake you are going to be very impressed with the Ripcord! Review: works great - love the Otis ripcord, have been using them for years. Happy that they now make pistol calibers longer! ## Features - Rapid Cleaning: One pass design with easy-feed swiftly cleans your firearm's bore, saving time and effort. - Heat Resistant: Withstands up to 700°F, allowing you to clean at the range/field while the barrel is still hot. - Effective Engagement: Helix shape effectively engages rifling, ensuring thorough cleaning. - Dual Functionality: Nomex fibers both loosen and capture particles, enhancing cleaning efficiency. - Versatile Compatibility: Equipped with 8-32 threaded ends, compatible with all Otis cleaning components. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00EM5VTP4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #12,362 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #12 in Gun Snakes | | Brand | Otis Technology | | Brand Name | Otis Technology | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,935 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00014895000564 | | Included Components | Otis Technology Ripcord Bore Cleaner | | Item Type Name | Cleaning Rods and Tips | | Item Weight | 0.12 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Otis Technology | | Manufacturer Part Number | FG-RC-325-1 | | Model Number | IP-RC-325 B | | UPC | 014895002179 014895000564 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Otis Technology - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00014895000564 - **Included Components:** Otis Technology Ripcord Pull-Through Bore Cleaner - **Manufacturer:** Otis Technology - **UPC:** 014895002179 014895000564 ## Images ![Otis Technology Ripcord One Pass Bore Cleaner (.22/.223/5.56) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51J1N9NDgAL.jpg) ![Otis Technology Ripcord One Pass Bore Cleaner (.22/.223/5.56) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61lFK6w51-L.jpg) ![Otis Technology Ripcord One Pass Bore Cleaner (.22/.223/5.56) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31AuNviRHKL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What size is "pistols", "rifles" and "smcal"?** A: http://www.otistec.com/pc_product_detail.asp?key=7E6C67788C2C47859DB5A96A5A4F27A5find the appropriate SKU number off the Otis site, then match it up with the "Item model number" on amazon (about halfway down the page, use control+F to Find it). you might need to go through all the drop down options to find it, but most (9mm, .40, .223/5.56 for sure) should be there **Q: So how do you clean this thing? Toss it in the washer like a boresnake?** A: I'll probably hand wash mine with detergent and let it air dry. The product info says don't put it in a washer or dishwasher (!?!!) because of harmful lead particles, etc. I don't want it in my washing machine. **Q: Would the 17hmr work for the 22lr** A: Likely would fit through the bore but probably would not do a very good job scrubbing it out properly. Action is dependent on pulling through in direction of rifling along with proper pressure. I would definitely go on and invest in one designed for .22 caliber. They do work very well. **Q: Which one for 22lr?** A: The same as .223. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great--for pistols (but think twice for rifles) *by M***4 on January 22, 2014* The helix (spiral) shape of the cord acts as the cleaning device in Otis' competition for Hoppe's Boresnake Hoppe's BoreSnake Pistol and Revolver Bore Cleaner (Choose Your Caliber) .

Happy that they now make pistol calibers longer! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect. *by D***L on June 6, 2025* It does a really good job at cleaning all the junk in the barrel of my AK-74, tried it on my dad's AR-15 and same thing. It's got no bronze brush bristles on it but has on either end a threaded brass bit to screw a bronze brush onto. The value is ok, there are some cheaper options, but I went with this one since all the brushes I have are the same thread as the ends for this one and because my dad ruined my one and only .22 cal brush after he used it to clean out a connector for a trailer light. ## Frequently Bought Together - Otis Ripcord One Pass Bore Cleaner (Select your caliber) - Otis Technology Microfiber Gun Cloths (Select Your Quantity) - Otis Technology 085 Wipes CLP Firearms Wipes (Select Your Style) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1240961-otis-technology-ripcord-one-pass-bore-cleaner-22-223-5](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1240961-otis-technology-ripcord-one-pass-bore-cleaner-22-223-5) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
