Tipton Universal Bore Guide with 3 Muzzle Guides for Cleaning Rod Alignment and Firearm Cleaning

So, I have the Dewey, but decided to try this one. Observations so far:- Construction: Steel and plastic. We'll see how the plastic holds up over time.- Price: Very competitive, but it's cheaper for a reason. Some parts are plastic.- Versatility: Universal, which is VERY nice. One guide rules them all!😁- Install/Use: This is where it gets a little tricky. They give you an alignment barrel for AR and bolt, but you might have to flip the bolt action barrel around to get it to work with your action's design. I had to flip it around to get the guide's stem to position correctly in the spot where my bolt handle goes. The opening for adding your bore cleaner is a nice size!Outside of the plastic parts, this is a great option. Still gets five stars from me and I would recommend it.

Kept mag area clean while cleaning my rifles. Very impressed after using a few times.

Worked well. 4 stars because it wobbles a little bit with aggressive scrubbing. It works well.

It does the job; what more can I say?

Exactly what I needed

I was very disappointed with this purcahse. The bore guide is easy to assemble and use. However, the screw pin that is supposed to lock the metal ring in place does not secure it very well and it has a tendency to move if you don't screw the screw pin down very tightly. However, if you screw the screw pin down tightly, the issue is that the screw pin will scrape the paint off of the aluminum tube. I've even noticed some deformation of the aluminum where I had to screw the screw pin on too tightly. The tube is also very thin for a critical part being made out of aluminum and I worry about bending it. On top of this, the black paint on the aluminum tube will peel/flake off on the inside and get inside of your barrel/gun when using common solvents like Hoppes No. 9, Butch's Bore Shine, Patch Out, etc. There were a couple of times paint flakes from the inside of the tube peeled off and came out in a wet patch which I initially thought was fouling from my barrel. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

I use it for messy jobs. Bore scrubbing with paste is a dirty job. This keeps the paste in the barrel and out of the breech and action.The cleaning guide is mostly metal. Hopefully the plastic barrel inserts don’t split and fall apart in a few years. It does the job anddoesn’t appear to be junk.
