Bore guide for AR type weapons?

[macthknife]

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

The best bore guides are made by JP Precision. They are a bit pricey but worth it. I use them for all my AR's.

Cool. Guess My search wasn't very good. Brownells has F-n everything.

I use Sinclair bore guides for both my ARs and bolt guns.

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.

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

Sinclair works great and the O-rings help

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.
