Cleaning is very much the same as any other AR-15 with the exception of the barrel.
Never, we repeat NEVER use a bore brush in your Kies upper or barrel.
The reason for this is, all our barrels, both 416 stainless and Melonited 4150 barrels
have a nano-ceramic coating which eliminates the need for traditional barrel brake in, helps cut down on fowling, and makes cleaning out the fouling very easy.
Included with every Kies upper is a caliber specific, pull through cleaning kit.
We recommend using Patch Out or Wipe Out for cleaning your barrel. They are both fantastic products that strip the fouling out of barrels quickly and easily. They take about 15-20 minutes to do their job in a moderately fouled barrel. Patch Out and Wipe Out contain no abrasives which can damage the ceramic coating, they do however contain great rust preventatives that eliminate the need to oil your barrel after cleaning for fouling, and this eliminates the need for a fouling shot to clear your barrel of oil before serious shooting begins.
