I can't get the star chamber clean as I'd like, so I'm looking at a tool Otis makes for this.

However, I've bought other pricey tools specific to AR cleaning that yes, are of some help, but marginally so.

So, what do you guys think of this tool?

Got one?

Used it and think it does a good job or is it another mediocre AR cleaning tool?

Thanks!

Honestly all I ever done is use the wire bore brush with the larger diameter wire at the back end, threaded into whatever rods came in the cleaning kit(s). I attached that to my drill, inserted, and spun it at low to medium speed, drawing back and forth slowly for about thirty seconds or so. Star chamber comes out spotless every time. Its a trick I was taught by one of the armorers at my old unit, and its been a lesson well learned.

That is what I do as well.
