Bore Tech’s Patented CENTERFIRE, BOLT ACTION PATCH GUIDE
features 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, gun stock and cleaning bench. The Patch Guide also alleviates the
cumbersome patch spiking process on longer cleaning rods.
Each Patch Guide is designed to precisely align the cleaning
rod with the rifle’s bore eliminating damage to both the firearm and cleaning
rod. This is accomplished by the self centering, tapered rubber nose cone in
the front and the extended barrel design in the rear of the guide. Simply put,
the Patch Guide is a necessary tool for proper cleaning and protection of your
rifle.
Additionally, the replaceable and solvent resistant molded
rubber nosecones are soft enough to provide a superior, long lasting seal and
completely prevent cleaners from leaking into the chamber and action areas.
Designed to fit both short and long actions, these guides
feature an adjustable bolt collar that firmly locks in place via the threaded
brass locking handle.
All Patch Guides feature high precision CNC machined and
anodized aluminum components that will provide a lifetime of use. Each guide is
color coded for easy caliber identification and will fit most popular
centerfire Remington 700 style, bolt action rifles ranging from .17 to .416
calibers.

Bore Tech Centerfire Patch Guide Use Instructions
1) Remove bolt as per manufacturer’s instructions.
2) Loosen the brass bolt collar handle and slide the rubber
nosecone (front end) of the Patch Guide through the receiver until seated in
the chamber.
*Lightly push on the Patch Guide to seat rubber nosecone in
chamber.
3) Slide the bolt collar forward until the brass handle is
aligned with the bolt handle recess. Rotate the brass handle downward into the
bolt handle recess and tighten against the Patch Guide tube. At this point, the
guide should not move forward or backwards.
NOTE: On rifles without a bolt handle recess, it may be
necessary to remove the brass locking handle and slide the bolt collar forward
until the threaded locking handle hole is visible in the ejection port.
Reinsert the brass locking handle and tighten against Patch Guide tube to
properly lock Patch Guide into action.
4) Position a dry patch of the proper size on the patch
plate and apply cleaner or oil to the patch.
5) Push the rod forward catching or “spiking” the patch and
proceed down the bore.
6) The patch plate also allows for application of cleaner to
brushes.
7) To remove the Patch Guide from the action, loosen and
rotate brass handle up and out of the bolt handle recess. Then pull Patch Guide
and bolt collar back away from the chamber and out of the action
NOTE: For Actions with exposed bolt releases (e.g.
Winchester Model 54) loosen the brass handle and leave the bolt collar in
position. (The bolt collar depresses the bolt release keeping it from catching
on the lip of the rubber nose cone.) While keeping the bolt collar stationary,
pull the Patch Guide backwards until rubber nosecone butts up against bolt
collar. Then pull both the bolt collar and Patch Guide out together as one
assembly.
