OTIS TECHNOLOGY PATRIOT SERIES GUN CLEANING KIT A complete caliber

specific cleaning kit
By: Sal Palma Ill begin with a quick inventory before getting
into some of the features that make the Patriot
cleaning kits from OTIS such a value.

1. Memory-Flex cable OTIS hallmark

breech to muzzle cleaning.
2. Slotted Tip (a supply of 2 patches)
3. Bore mop
4. Caliber specific bronze bore brush (.223
in the review sample)
5. A tool handle and 4 tips (2 Phillips, 1
Flat Head and 1 Torx). The tool handle is
also slotted so it can be used to pull the
Memory-Flex.

OTIS Technology announced the Patriot series

of caliber specific gun cleaning kits at SHOT
SHOW 2017 in Las Vegas. Its a departure from
their military product line only in packaging not 6. A double ended AP brush.
in capability or quality. In this article, I review 7. Chamber brush, rod, curved and
the OTIS Patriot .223 caliber rifle cleaning kit. straight locking lug pick (only in the .223
cleaning kit)
My thought when I first opened the kit was the
comprehensives of its contents; not only did it
include everything needed to clean your
favorite AR but OTIS also provides you with a
mini tool kit.

Theres a lot to like about the Patriot .223

caliber rifle cleaning kit. First for me is its
comprehensive appointment, it contains
everything needed to properly clean your .223
rifle. Most of the cleaning kits that Ive used
exclude niceties like the straight and curved
locking lug picks. This is an especially valuable

consideration for shooters that fire suppressed

.223s. The carbon accumulation is considerable
and a real pain in the neck to clean OTIS to
the rescue.

Another very nice feature is the inclusion of a

tool handle that functions as a T-handle to pull
the Memory-Flex cable and a tool kit with the
included 4 bits.

The OTIS Patriot .223 rifle cleaning kit ships with

2 patches that are the appropriate size for the
.223 caliber; however, these are OTIS patches
and for readers unfamiliar with the OTIS -SP
approach, the patch is not pulled through the
slotted tip. To properly use the OTIS patch youll
create a cone by running the slotted tip through
a slit in the patch; then taking a pinch of the
patch and pulling it through the slotted tip. It
takes a little practice but its easy enough and
very effective.

The Patriot cleaning kits from OTIS are a

genuine bargain. At an M.S.R.P. of $24.99 the
Patriot .223 rifle cleaning kit delivers superb
value with a comprehensive kit of excellent
quality and function. OTIS also sells the Patriot
kits for 9mm, .45 ACP, .40 S&W, .17 cal rifle, .22
cal rifle, 9mm, 30 cal rifle and 12 gauge. All of
these are available from your retailer for
$19.99. If you want a great bang for your buck,
OTIS Patriot caliber specific cleaning kits are
what youll want to add to your kit. The only
thing youll need is solvent and lubricant. Check
them out!
