This is a remarkable well designed and made tool at a very reasonable price. Do not clean from the muzzle and only from the breach with a bore guide. More damage done to bores with a cleaning rod than bullets will ever do.

it makes cleaning the bore much easier, and you will do a better job. if you have invested in the rifle it's worth spending a little more for this to keep it clean. i think you would be better off just using a bore snake rather than jamming a brush down the muzzle. you have a nice rifle, take care of it.

All guns should be cleaned from the chamber end when possible. You risk damaging the bore by cleaning from that end. The Wheeler tool is an excellent tool for the AR style rifle.

Cleaning a gun from the muzzle places you at risk for damaging the crown, thus affecting accuracy. It is best to clean from the breach when you are able. The Wheeler product works great in my AR15. It aligns the cleaning rod so that I minimize damage to the chamber, another way to affect accuracy. I am not familiar with the colt 6920 to know of any differences. I have been pleased with the Wheeler tool.

Is this tool a must, no not really, a bore snake could work and isn't bad for use in the field. Should you have one I would say yes. You will need to do a more thorough cleaning than a bore snake provides. Cleaning from the muzzle is a big no no. When it comes to cleaning a rifle you risk damaging the muzzle crown and affecting the accuracy of the barrel. Wheeler makes a nice little link that holds the upper and lower open and then with this guide it's a piece of cake to clean. It reduces the effort, time and mess involved for doing a proper cleaning all while protecting the accuracy of your barrel.

Hornady makes a gun parts cleaner (black label) for their sonic cleaner II. Follow the instructions. It works great. Supposed to be ok for all types of finishes...(Mine is stainless). Cleanest my Kimber has ever been.

Your gonna have to use pipe pliers to get it off. Be sure to clean the gun thoroughly before using it. For whatever reason these monkeys put some sort of glue on the threads of everything and it sucks. Use lacquer thinner it's the only thing that worked for me I soaked the gun and ask the parts in it for a few hours and scribes the crap out of it. Works pretty good once cleaned properly

The M-pro 7 Tactical cleaning kit is awesome!! It will clean all your bores and you never have to worry about residue because it does a great job. It will also lubricate and keep your guns like new... Great Product!!!

I use this tool on my glocks and it also works on my Kimber 1911. It basially is a multi purpose tool that I keep in my range bag and one in my cleaning kit. I cant remember if this one has the ability to remove the front sight.

It was designed to push a cleaning patch threw the barrel cleaning the bore of the weapon. A lot depends on the weapon you have and what the manufacture suggests on how to clean the bore .....Another way to clean the bore is to use a cleaning pellet since a cleaning rod used the wrong way can scratch the land and groves in the barrel.I got it to use it to remove any jammed pellets if there ever is one.

yes I believe you have about a 28 and 3/4 inch barrel. this should clean it easily

Looks like you could to me. http://www.outers-guncare.com/resources/usagecharts.aspx#cleaning_kit

I would recommend the thicker Tipton cleaning rod 27 to 45 caliber rod. The rod itself does no cleaning. You will also need a .30 caliber jag and brush along with assorted cleaning supplies. I prefer Birchwood Casey bore cleaner but any cleaner made for nitro fouling should work. You will also need some good patches. Hoppe's patches I find to be to thin. Try some thicker cotton ones.

I have used to put on/remove Ar-15 barrels and have had no such issues. Return it if possible. If not try the ones at Harbor Freight that are the same thing for half as much and even less if you download a 20% off coupon. Right now they are on SALE: http://www.harborfreight.com/3-8-eighth-inch-drive-click-type-torque-wrench-807.html?ccdenc=eyJjb2RlIjoiMzk2NzQ0MzIiLCJza3UiOiI4MDciLCJpcyI6IjExLjk5IiwicHJvZHVjdF9pZCI6%0D%0AIjMxIn0%3D%0D%0A

For a pistol I would use The Winchester Universal compact cleaning kit. It has everything in this portable kit to clean any size caliber for handguns. Also inexpensive.

My rifles came from Walmart shipped directly to my home. No cosmoline on either, just a very light coating of gun oil. Don't use copper brushes just a good stiff synthetic. Make sure you get all of the lubricant out of the tube. If not you are going to be surprised with the bang you will get. I did not clean my .177 as thoroughly as I should have and the first pellet sounded like a ma duce going off.Keep them all in the X ring.Semper FiMolon LabeCHS USMCL

Yes - clean it like a gun. The barrel needs lubrication. P.S. don't dry fire it. I accidentally did in my back yard and it sounded like a real gun fired, not to mention it's really not good on the compression seals. I love mine. Best powerful pellet gun ever - Not for minors though!!

I don't know how the inner workings of an airsoft rifle are made nor do I know what the barrel diameters are for airsoft pellets but this cleaning kit was designed for cleaning real rifles. It will clean and AR-15/M-16 style real rifle with ease.

I have the colt le ar and I ended up taking the front sight post off. It got in the way of the scope sighting. Hope that answers your question..

Definitely not a problem. I've used this stuff for 4 years. I realized very quickly that in most cleaning situations I can use just a little of the product. I'll soak the inside of the barrel and let it sit. Everywhere else just gets a wipe down. If I do an indepth cleaning I might use a little more on the firing pin and wipe it off really good. I remove any oil reside with dry worn out cotton shirts and reapply one tiny little dot / dab of oil on one contact point and spread it to the other contact points with my finger or cue-tip. I use VERY little to accomplish this. It's not good to leave any part of your gun "oily" as that is a place for grit/grime/carbon to build up rapidly. Definitely not a problem.
