Sinclair International Ar-15 Cleaning Link

The Sinclair International AR-15 Cleaning Link is a purpose-built accessory that transforms how you service your rifle. Unlike field stripping alone, this tool separates your upper and lower receivers while keeping them firmly positioned for controlled breech access—essential for thorough bore cleaning without fumbling or risking drops. If you run a Sinclair Rod Guide (sold separately), the Cleaning Link becomes your stable platform for bore work, eliminating the frustration of trying to steady a partially disassembled rifle or balance components on a workbench.

Built from Delrin and stainless steel, the Cleaning Link resists solvent damage and won't degrade after years of exposure to the cleaning compounds you actually use. Installation takes seconds: it anchors using your AR's rear locking pin and corresponding pin hole, so no special setup or additional hardware is required. Once installed, your rifle holds steady while you work, freeing both hands for the rod guide and brush. This matters whether you're breaking down a new rifle before its first shot, performing routine maintenance, or deep-cleaning after a range day.

This is the cleaning link itself—nothing more, nothing less. You'll need a Sinclair Rod Guide to fully utilize it, but the link alone will secure your receivers and open your breech for inspection or preliminary cleaning work. For AR-15 owners who treat bore maintenance seriously, it's a small investment that pays back every time you clean.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Cleaning Link work with my AR-15?

Yes, the Cleaning Link is designed for AR-15 platform rifles and installs using your rifle's rear locking pin and pin hole. No modifications or special parts are needed.

Do I need a Sinclair Rod Guide to use this?

The Cleaning Link will separate and stabilize your receivers on its own for inspection or basic breech access. However, a Sinclair Rod Guide (sold separately) pairs with it for controlled bore cleaning and is highly recommended for that application.

What's included with the Cleaning Link?

You receive the Cleaning Link only. A Sinclair Rod Guide must be purchased separately if you plan to use it for guided bore cleaning.

How do I install it?

Installation takes seconds: simply insert the Cleaning Link into your rear locking pin hole, then secure it using your AR's rear locking pin. No tools required.
