►ABOUT OTIS
Otis Technology was born in 1985 when our founder, a 16-year-old Doreen Garrett, fell into cold mud while deer hunting with her father. The barrel of her grandfather’s Model 94 Winchester was full of mud and the day's hunt was over.
That day sparked the beginning of an endeavor to create a smarter solution to a problem every hunter, soldier, shooter, and firearm owner has encountered. On that day, Doreen had a vision for innovating gun care. That is where we began, in the mud, pulled down by our roots to reveal a tireless drive to create a quality product that will serve the men and women that depend on their firearms to feed their families and protect our country. Now, it is our uncompromising purpose and the big picture reason why we show up to work every day.
At Otis, our mission is to rethink and redefine gun care, giving gun owners better and smarter ways to keep their most cherished firearms in the best condition possible. That’s why our products are American-made and backed by a No-Nonsense Guarantee.
We are #AmericasGunCare.

THANK YOU JESSE GRIGSBY FOR THE VERY INFORMATIVE VIDEO ON BREAKING DOWN AND PROPERLY CLEANING AND LUBRICATING AND REASSEMBLY OF THE AR15.
Simple and easy to follow. Made disassembly and reassembly easy to understand even for me (complete novice) Highly recommend for new AR15 owners
Thanks. I’ve had my AR for 15 years and had no idea the bolt cam pin only went in one way. I guess I’ve been lucky all this time.
Thanks for the good video. For me was a good quick refresher after not using it for a while but it’s been well stored. It’s amazing how people likes to criticize thinking they know any better. Thanks again for the video.
We appreciate the feedback! Thank you taking the time to comment.
awesome well explained tutorial video thank you and wont get tired watching
That was very good
Great Video, thanks
Awesome. Thanks bro
Excellent vid for a non-AR15 owner, a little more attention to removal and reinstallation of the firing pin and the cam pin would have been nice but I guess, if I owned an AR I would know where those are and what the cam pin actually does. Still, well worth my time to watch.
You forgot a major aspect of care! Magazine cleaning and care! They need cleaned and lubed as if they fail so will your weapon! In the field it can be the difference between coming home on foot or in a bag!!!
Stainless cup deeper than BCG , put your BCG there and fill it with Ed’s red , leave for next day and you good to go !
When I see videos from companies that sell products, the videos are more of a sales commercial for their products rather than a video on detailed breakdown and reassembly
The BCG is not fully disassembled. You did not remove the extractor.
the thing i didnt like here, is that you didnt mention that the CLP or cleaner are both very toxic chemicals, and should be used with proper PPE (Gloves and a mask, with proper ventilation).
When do you use the bore cleaner? Is that something your only do when it’s super dirty and let that sit a minute while you do the other stuff?
Whether you use bore cleaner is a personal preference - some people prefer to use a dedicated bore cleaner before a lubricant; while others use an all-in-one CLP (Cleaner Protectant and Lubricant) product for all their cleaning steps. Both cleaning methods are effective and we have multiple Bore Cleaner and CLP products available.
Does anybody know how to get that out?
Oh yeah just lube that AR moving parts up to cause a slowdown of moving parts when the outside is 50 degrees and below to cause massive cycling of cartridge issues when that lube gets thick a sticky from the cold slowing down the moving parts.
Also, lube can cause fail to fire by reducing the hammers kinetic energy on the firing pin lubed up with sticky grease or oils.
The next BS is calling a STAR CHAMBER, there is no such STAR Chamber in the AR there is a barrel extension the barrel is threaded at the chamber them the barrel extension is screwed on and the barrel extension is what the bolt locks into.
Hi do you have to clean it like that every time you chootit or how
You should clean your rifle after you choot it and after you shoot it and if you haven't used it for long periods of times depending on the conditions of the storage environment
Personally I clean my weapons after every use but only really clean the barrel every few hundred rounds but the fire control group and exterior is well cleaned and lubricanted after every use even if not fired just carried in the field my daily carry pistols are cleaned every weekend with my morning coffee the Otis system is very good I have several different set ups but if you only had one I believe the nice compact cable system would be my personal choice it served me well while in the military and I continue to use it primarily in my daily life
I use the bore brush to go through the barrel and it got stuck inside
A properly sized bore brush will easily pull through the barrel - did it unthread from your cable somehow? If that's the case you can attempt to thread it back on by turning the cable clockwise. If you cannot get it threaded back on the cable; push it through with a barrel with a cleaning rod the direction it was already going; bore brushes don't like to reverse direction in the barrel.
WHY CAN'T I USE ANY QUALITY MOTOR OIL TO LUB MY WEAPONS?
It's not an ideal solution for firearms. You can use motor oil to lubricate internal moving parts; but it is not recommended to use on firearms becuase it lacks the rust inhibitors that CLP have. Over time, the moisture will diffuse through the motor oil layer, touching the metal and promoting corrosion or rust.
Too far from.camera
I’ve watched at least 20 different AR-15 cleaning videos recently. From 1-10, I give this one a 3. 👎🏽
You are doing it wrong!
