How do guys feel about this Otis Elite gun cleaning kit? Is it worth it? Does it do the job as good as cleaning with a rod system and not harm the rifle? Thanks for your input.

Re: Otis Technology Breech-To-Muzzle-Cleaning System
I use one for my AR15s and handguns. Never had a problem, although I have to admit that I'm looking at some of the more recommended parts for a precision gun, such as a bore guide, rod and jags, etc. Just wanting to try something else I guess. I have no evidence that one system works better than another.

The otis kit is a good kit for field use and should not replace a kit you have at home. You should definitely invest in a good bore guide, rod and jags. I keep an otis kit in my pack along with a rapid rod.

i keep a otis cable, a few patches and solvent in my stock pack. comes in handy alot of the time. like when you get a gust of no value sand storm in the face shooting prone.
nice to have something a can swab out the bore with in a pinch.

Have one also, and have to agree, the Otis is good for emergency cleaning but the rapid rod is also a good thing to have if for no other reason than if you stumble and drive your muzzle in the mud. Been there and done that on a hunting trip, now keep a rapid rod in my stock pack along with the Otis stuff when on a hunt. it is a well made sectioned rod, much better than a old GI issue.

No one would use the Otis kit as their main gun cleaning method?

I use the Otis kit as my only cleaning method. The one thing I added to the kit was a pistol cleaning rod to clean out the chamber.
Consistency = Accuracy... I don't think that there is one "correct" cleaning method except to remain consistent with the method and bore solvents.
Some people are concerned about damaging the barrel crown with Otis kits. I haven't seen it happen.

Otis is the only thing I use on all my guns also. Beings that all the tips are brass, as are the cable ends, I've just never worried about it. I have the tacitcal kit and it holds everything I need and has always gotten the job done.

Re: Otis Technology Breech-To-Muzzle-Cleaning System
I use the Otis kits on everything I own or use. I dont see any issues with brass and plastic touching my bore.
