BORE GUIDE, AR-15 - .223/5.56MM

SKU: SKU: BTBG-1000-001

Bore Tech’s AR-15 BORE GUIDES precisely align cleaning rods with the rifle bore and prevent damage to both the firearm and cleaning rod making it a necessary tool for proper cleaning and protection of your firearms. The Bore Tech AR Bore Guides are CNC machined from a rugged, solvent resistant, synthetic polymer that perfectly aligns cleaning rods with the bore and prevents cleaning rods from dragging on the locking lugs and chamber edges. This eliminates scratching of your cleaning rod and wear on your rifle.

All AR Bore Guides are custom made specific to the rifle model and caliber to ensure a precise fit. Most guides utilize a solvent proof O-ring to seal in the chamber and prevent cleaners from leaking back into the action. The lengthened bore guide design locates the solvent port safely behind your optics and also holds the upper and lower receiver apart allowing for effortless cleaning. Additional features such as a tapered rear opening for easy jag/brush alignment and a widened solvent port for easy solvent application are why these guides are second to none.

Bore Tech stocks most popular AR-15/AR-10 Bore Guides. If you don’t see an AR Bore Guide that will fit your specific rifle/caliber, please contact Customer Service to inquire about our custom order AR Bore Guides.

The AR-10 Bore Guide will not work with Sig Sauer 716i platform. The 9MM Bore Guide will not work JP Enterprises JP5 9MM PCC.

Bore Tech Information

Proof Positive Benefits?

Bore Tech’s Proof-Positive feature is a major innovation in firearm cleaning, designed to eliminate false positive indications of copper fouling. Traditional cleaning jags and loops are typically made from brass, which contains copper. When using ammonia-based copper solvents, these brass components can react chemically, producing a blue or green color in the solvent. This color change often misleads shooters into believing there is still copper fouling in the bore when, in reality, the reaction is coming from the jag itself. Bore Tech’s Proof-Positive jags and loops are made from a proprietary, brass-free alloy that eliminates this problem. This means any color change in the solvent is a true indication of copper fouling in the bore, allowing for more accurate and reliable cleaning.

The Proof-Positive feature is particularly beneficial for shooters who demand precise barrel maintenance, such as competitive marksmen, hunters, and gunsmiths. By removing the interference caused by brass jags, Bore Tech ensures that users don’t waste time and solvent chasing false copper indications. Additionally, Proof-Positive jags and loops are precision-machined for a perfect patch fit, ensuring thorough bore contact and more effective cleaning. This leads to less solvent waste, reduced cleaning time, and a properly maintained barrel, which ultimately enhances firearm accuracy and longevity. For anyone serious about firearm care, Proof-Positive technology is a game-changer, providing a smarter and more efficient cleaning process.

Which Rod Size

When choosing a Bore Tech cleaning rod for your rifle, you need to consider the barrel length and action type to ensure you get the right rod length. A good rule of thumb is to select a rod that is at least 6-8 inches longer than your rifle's barrel to accommodate the action and allow for full stroke cleaning. For bolt-action rifles, measure from the chamber to the muzzle and add extra length for comfortable use. For AR-style rifles, you may need an even longer rod due to the upper receiver's design. Bore Tech rods typically come in lengths ranging from 36 inches to 50 inches, so selecting the right one depends on your rifle’s specifications.
