Otis FGRC520 Ripcord 20 Gauge Shotgun Bore Cleaner - 8-32" Thread, Nomex/Rubber, 45" Long

The Otis FGRC520 Ripcord 20 gauge shotgun bore cleaner is built for shooters who want a cleaning rod that won't let them down in the field or at the bench. This 45-inch pull-through system pairs durability with ease of use—the nomex and rubber construction protects your bore while you work, and the 8-32" thread keeps everything locked in tight. Whether you're maintaining a reliable hunting shotgun or keeping a clay target gun in top shape, a dedicated bore cleaner designed for your gauge beats makeshift solutions every time.

The Ripcord system lets you push or pull patches and brushes with confidence. The nomex material resists wear and heat, while the rubber components provide grip and control without marring your gun's internals. At 45 inches long, you've got the reach to clean the full bore from action to muzzle without fighting awkward angles. Otis designed this cleaner specifically for 20 gauge shotguns, so you're not over-sizing or under-sizing your cleaning process.

If you shoot 20 gauge—whether for upland game, waterfowl, or sport clays—proper bore maintenance keeps your patterns tight and your gun reliable. A dedicated, gauge-specific cleaner is a small investment that pays back every time you run it through your shotgun. Pair it with the right patches and solvents, and you've got a cleaning routine that takes minutes and extends your gun's life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this Otis Ripcord work with my 20 gauge shotgun?

Yes—the FGRC520 is specifically designed for 20 gauge bores. The 45-inch length and 8-32" thread are sized to fit 20 gauge shotguns and are compatible with standard Otis cleaning jags and brushes in that thread size.

Can I use this cleaning rod with other gauges?

No. This cleaner is made for 20 gauge shotguns. Using it on different gauges may result in poor fit, ineffective cleaning, or potential bore damage. Otis makes gauge-specific rods for 12 gauge and other shotgun sizes.

What does the nomex and rubber construction do?

Nomex resists heat and wear, keeping the rod intact even with frequent use and various solvents. The rubber components provide a secure, comfortable grip and help protect your shotgun's bore from scratches or damage during cleaning.

Is this a complete cleaning kit or just the rod?

This is the bore cleaner rod itself. You'll need to add patches, brushes, and solvent separately—or pair it with Otis cleaning kits that include those components.
