Bore Tech’s Patented AR-15/AR-10 PATCH GUIDES feature an industry exclusive, hands-free patch spiking system that eliminates the mess and hassle of correctly spiking patches. These guides dramatically simplify and expedite the cleaning process.
Simply lay a patch over the opening on the angled patch plate, wet the patch with cleaner and push your rod down the bore. The angled patch plate effortlessly spikes your patch, eliminating messy cleaners on your hands, rifle stock and cleaning bench. The Patch Guide also alleviates the cumbersome patch spiking process on longer cleaning rods.
Each guide features precision CNC machined and anodized aluminum components and is designed to precisely align the cleaning rod with the rifle bore. This prevents cleaning rods from dragging on the locking lugs and chamber edges of your rifle. It also minimizes the possibility of damage to your cleaning rod. Simply put, the Patch Guide is a necessary tool for proper cleaning and protection of both your rifle and cleaning rod.
Featuring interchangeable, solvent resistant, front adapters the AR Patch Guides allows for quick and cost effective rifle model/caliber changes. Simply loosen the set screw located under the patch plate and remove the adapter. Additionally, the lengthened adapter design locates the angled patch plate safely behind your optics and also holds the upper and lower receiver apart allowing for effortless cleaning.
Additional adapters are available for most popular AR-15 and AR-10 calibers and are found on the AR-15/AR-10 Patch Guide Adapter product page. If you don’t see a Patch Guide that will fit your specific rifle, please contact Customer Service to inquire about our custom order Patch Guides.

How To Determine The Correct Rod Length For Your Application
Bore Tech AR-15/AR-10 Patch Guide Use Instructions:
1) Remove bolt as per manufacturer’s instructions.
2) Insert Patch Guide through the receiver until seated in the chamber.
Tip: Once you feel slight resistance from the O-ring sealing in the chamber, STOP! Pushing too hard/far can cause the O-ring to tear.
3) Position a dry patch of the proper size on the patch plate and apply cleaner or oil to the patch.
4) Push the rod forward catching or “spiking” the patch and proceed down the bore.
5) The patch plate also allows for application of cleaner to brushes.
6) To remove the Patch Guide from the action, lightly twist and pull the guide back away from the chamber and out of the upper receiver.
NOTE: A small drop of oil on the O-ring will prevent wear and extend O-ring life.
To Change Adapter:
1) Locate hex drive set screw under angled patch plate.
2) Using an 1//8” hex key loosen the set screw.
3) Remove adapter.
4) Insert new adapter. On certain rifles adapters must be rotated to the correct position so the angled patch plate faces directly up.
5) Tighten set screw.
