I picked one of these up the other day and it seems like a pretty handy little system.
I like its compactness and portability. The breech to muzzle cleaning is also a philosophy I've always tried to follow. On 'closed' receiver rifles, I just use a muzzle guide, carefully feed the cleaning rod down the muzzle, attach the brush or patch in the receiver and then pull it through the barrel.
The Otis system MIGHT make this a little easier. The patch design is interesting, tho the cynical side of me thinks the entire system was designed to sell Otis patches.
My questions -
1) If any of you use this kit, how do you like it?
2) My kit came with a "J" shaped dayglo orange colored piece of solid plastic. It's shown in their instruction booklet, but no reference made to its use. Anyone?
Thanks.
