And this bore guide:

They work as advertised.

I have had the same dewey for a lot of years , I think they even vary a little in length . I know there is a pistol sized one also.
My kid gave me an otis for an AR some time back ...... still unused , I feel kind of bad as they were a good deal of money for what you got ...... but whatever

The Otis system is awesome! Been using it for more than 10 years, with all of my rifles & shotguns (.22lr ~ 12ga). Works great and packable for easy field use. I still use a Gunslick rod for my bolt guns, but do use my Otis system a lot (10/22's & shotguns mostly).

I think I tossed mine in a pack for bug out purposes

I have a Dewey and a Boretech, it seems the Boretech has smoother and sturdier bearings.

Yeah a one-piece is not as manageable. I have a Dewey for a 26" barrel and it fits in the hard case I carry my Rem 700 in, so that's where I store it.

Got a 44" Dewey - now not immediately for a 308 . . . lol

I think they're awesome. Especially when you shoot something like a garand that makes it impossible to push the rod from the action through to the muzzle. Yes, I have a muzzle guide for it, but still, I much prefer the bore snake approach.
