It’s easy to adjust, has a pretty accurate scale, comes with a calibration certificate (though no traceability to ISO standards that I can find), and it greatly maneuverable."

Find Best Price at Amazon"They wouldn't buy this kit since they have developed methods, routines, equipment, and schedules and are well entrenched in how they clean their rifles. However, recently I broke down and bought a an AR-15 due to the urging of friends who explained that the M16 of the 60's is not M16 of today and that the various weaknesses of the earlier rifle have been fixed. It turns out that due to the direct gas impingement method the rifle uses to eject spent cartridges, the interior of this rifle gets caked with carbon which necessitates constant carbon removal from the bolt, the bolt carrier, the firing pin, and sundry other parts, after every shooting session. As a new AR platform owner, I appreciated this very much since I was unsure where the wear points were and/or how much oil/grease to apply to the various areas."
"So much so that they are giving away a $30 folding knife, including free shipping, for anyone that leaves feedback, after a purchase, within this time period."
"After recently obtaining a new AR I searched long for the proper cleaning tools at the best value. This kit has EVERYTHING you need to clean an AR in an easy to carry and well-built kit. While my AR didn't have heavy carbon deposits the scraper tool worked great at getting the the moderate deposits off the bolt components. I know I'll have what I need at the range to do a quick clean or handle a stuck round."
"The REAL AVID PRO PACK PREMIUM MAINTANCE KIT, is a perfect, compact kit for those back country trips when I need to keep weight and volumn to a minimum."
"This kit has lots of bits and pieces for cleaning your AR, even a scraping tool to remove fouling which is a handle little device."

"I had to cut my patches in half to be able to push them down the bore, but when I did, the bore was very clean. After scrubbing, I ran two dry patches down the bore, then one wet, one more dry, then an oiled patch."
"I used them on the tipton rod and they screw on perfectly, along with the rod they twist perfectly and definitely get the job done nicely."
"They are not cheaply made as most cleaning kit brushes. Truly a very good set of jags and brushes."

"Using them with a Gunslick carbon rod they fit the bore perfectly and dry patched with just enough resistance."

"Very low odor and water soluble, so cleanup is fast and easy."
"Probably one of the best gun cleaners in the market."

"good cleaning tool, with one exception: The little metal weight that goes down the barrel is too large for my .22LR."
"They are great for a field cleaning, anything other than a. heavy cleaning with Hops #9."
"By the way, these Boresnakes are easily cleaned by using Grease Lightning de-greaser (I suppose others would work well too), rinse well, and hang to dry."
"Great for quick maintenance cleans after a range trip."
"A bit tricky to get the weighted portion all the way down the barrel, it wont drop through on its own, you do have to feed it down some."

"I find it perfect for storing weapons."
"It truly will clean (replaces the need for most solvents), lubricate (will work to lube about any handgun or long gun), and protect all your firearms as well or better than most of the competition in the same price range."
"Smells nothing like military CLP (actually a good thing for me, I hate the smell of CLP) but in a watered down way so a little loss in confidence."
"It still produces a little bit of residue after a lot of typing but I guess the cleaner in the oil is slowly breaking down the grime deep in the type arms joints that could not be cleaned by hand."
"I keep it in a zipper stype plastic bag with my boresnakes and it makes the perfect traveling cleaning kit."
"This is great product to use for stobbern screws to losen rusted screws."
"Will continue to dissolve deposits on barrel that can be easily removed at a later date."
