I have always had bolt guns. Now that I'm in the planning stages of an AR style precision gun, I had a thought about My cleaning equipment. I have never seen any kind of bore guide specifically for an AR. Is there one? Will My Remington one do in a pinch, or do I need to have one made?

Just thinking. I would find it difficult to believe that the precision gas guns out there get cleaned without one.

Later folks. Mac

I run a JP for my AR15 build and a Lucas for my MA-TEN build. The JP definitely looks cooler but they work equally as well.

I sent Mike an email for the Lucas guide in Jan and he said it would be mid April before he starts back up.
 
Re: Bore guide for AR type weapons?

Are bore guides really necessary? I have an AR on order and was wondering if this is a "must have". Ive a cleaned many a gun and never used a bore guide.

X2 for this guide. Its a delron guide and works great. You do not need a fancy aluminum guide with super expensive anodized coating, sorry.
 
Re: Bore guide for AR type weapons?

Great info! Thanks folks. I think the delrin guide I use on My bolt guns is a Sinclair.
 
Re: Bore guide for AR type weapons?

I tried to get a Lucas guide before Christmas and his time off before he could get to a guide for me was way too long.

I went plan B and bought a Possum Hollow bore guide from Midway USA. I've only used it twice, but it works great. It is about 1/2 the price of the Lucas product.


Oh yeah....DPMS LRT-SASS
 
Re: Bore guide for AR type weapons?

I have the JP, picked it up NIB at a swap meet for $25...........I love it!

If I didn't pick it up on a deal, I would just buy one made of delrin for half the price.
 
Re: Bore guide for AR type weapons?

yeah i need to get the jp one for the ar15 and the one for the ar10. i am using a brownells. it is just ok.
