Complete toolset built around .223/5.56

This kit is tailored to the common AR chambered in .223/5.56, making brush sizes and rod length practical for full-length cleaning passes. The inclusion of both .22 caliber brushes and a dedicated .223 breech brush addresses bore fouling and chamber residue typical of these calibers. For precision shooters and duty-minded users, that caliber-specific approach reduces bore wear and helps maintain point-of-impact consistency.

Key features and why they matter

The Hybrid multi-function handle provides secure grip and rapid tool changes in the field. A 33 inch pull rod reaches full barrel length without requiring multiple segments during a quick cleanup. Brass rods for breech brush attachment prevent damage to rifling compared to steel alternatives. Utility tools—the double-ended metal pick/scraper and nylon brush—let you clean gas rings, extractor recesses, and hard-to-reach surfaces. The included 25 patches and 6-piece bit set round out a kit that’s ready for routine maintenance or emergency bore clearing.

Priced at $17.99, this DAC kit delivers professional features at an entry-level cost, making it practical for individual owners, range bags, or armory spares. The brand Dac and model Various indicate a proven parts lineage and compatibility across common AR configurations. View product details and pricing
