I’ll 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. It’s a departure from their military product line only in packaging not in capability or quality. In this article, I review the OTIS Patriot .223 caliber rifle cleaning kit.
6. A double ended AP brush. 7. Chamber brush, rod, curved and 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.
There’s 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 I’ve used exclude niceties like the straight and curved locking lug picks.

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 approach, the patch is not pulled through the slotted tip. To properly use the OTIS patch you’ll 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 it’s easy enough and very effective.
