FAQ
Q: Will this kit work for .22 LR AR-pattern rifles?
A: The .223/5.56 bore tools are close, but dedicated .22 LR kits/brushes are recommended for best fit in rimfire bores.
Q: Is a bore guide included?
A: Typically not. If you use a rigid rod from the chamber side, a bore guide is a smart add-on to center the rod and protect the throat.
Q: Can I add more patches/solvent to the case?
A: Yes—there’s usually room to stash extra patches, picks, and a small bottle of solvent or CLP.
Q: How often should I clean my AR?
A: After each range session is ideal. At minimum, wipe and relube the BCG, and run a quick bore/chamber pass to prevent carbon buildup.
Q: Are the brushes safe for chrome-lined or nitride barrels?
A: Bronze brushes are the standard for AR maintenance and are safe for chrome-lined and nitride bores when used correctly with solvent.
From quick wipe-downs to post-class deep cleans, the KleenBore AR-15 Tactical Cleaning Kit (KAR556) gives you the caliber-correct tools to keep your .223/5.56 rifle reliable, accurate, and mission-ready—wherever you shoot.
