The Otis Ripcord is a dedicated bore-cleaning cord designed for .17-caliber rifle bores, including .17 HMR. It delivers breech-to-muzzle, one-pass cleaning using a rigid helix core that maintains consistent contact with the rifling while Nomex fibers both scrub and capture fouling. Threaded ends allow use with Otis limited-breech cleaning components for efficient, controlled cleaning.
Key Specifications
- The cord is 36 inches long for full breech-to-muzzle feed and handling.
- Intended for .17 caliber rifle bores, including .17 HMR as indicated in manufacturer materials.
- The core material is a helix-shaped rubber designed to press the cleaning surface into the rifling.
- The cleaning surface incorporates Nomex fibers that act as both brush and patch to loosen and capture fouling.
- The Ripcord provides 10 inches of aggressive cleaning surface per pass.
- Design provides 360-degree bore engagement for thorough contact around the bore circumference.
- Equipped with 5-40 threaded ends to fit Otis limited-breech cleaning components.
- Operation is optimized for breech-to-muzzle cleaning without gravity feed.
- The construction combines Nomex and rubber for cleaning effectiveness and flexibility.
The Ripcord offers a practical, time-saving approach to routine bore maintenance for owners of .17-caliber rifles. Its combination of a rigid helix core and Nomex cleaning surface is engineered to engage rifling and collect fouling in a single pass, simplifying the cleaning process while preserving bore condition.
