308 AR CLEANING LINK Reviews & Ratings

This item is a must have for cleaning your 308 AR. The Link separates the upper and lower assemblies, but holds them securely to allow easy breech access for bore cleaning using a Sinclair Rod Guide. Made of Delrin and stainless steel, it is virtually impervious to solvents. The Cleaning Link uses the rear locking pin and rear locking pin hole and installs in seconds.

SPECS: Will require fitting for most takedown pins other than the Armalite AR-10. Will not work on POF .308 rifles, Windham Weaponry SRC 308, or Colt LE901 with .250 diameter takedown pins, use the AR-15 model 749-002-497.

308 AR Cleaning Link....

Unfortunately, the AR10/.308, isn't MILSPEC! I'd have provided a higher rating! Unfortunately, the take-down hole, was the same size as the AR-15! Thought that I had received an incorrect part! No, the upper pin fit my upper, yet the take-down hole was too small, the same size as the AR-15!!! So, I returned that part...meaning, one should peruse other customer reviews; as this is a known issue with this item! Fortunately, customer support provided a replacement cleaning link...which, unfortunately was still too tight. Not wanting towards experiencing another round with such issues, I burnished/reamed such issues! My AR10 lower, a Noreen...meaning, I used Stoner internals, springs & pins!

Worked after adjustment

Had to use a 9/32" drill bit and drill the hole slightly larger to get my lower pin through on my Seekins based AR. Afterward, worked great.
