SharpShoot-R Introduces "TACTICAL ADVANTAGE": A Breakthrough in Cleaning Fouled Tactical AR Platforms
Background and Inspiration
The inception of "Tactical Advantage," a leading-edge solution tailored specifically for tactical firearms like M-4's and M-16's, wasn't an original idea from SharpShoot-R but rather a response to a significant challenge posed by a military contractor. Their elite teams needed a robust cleaning solution capable of maintaining operational readiness even after intense engagements where firearms could switch to semi-auto from full-auto due to fouling. The existing solutions required extensive, almost four hours of cleaning that included rigorous manual scrubbing of the bolt carrier with a drill and brush.
Product Introduction
SharpShoot-R Precision Products® proudly announces "TACTICAL ADVANTAGE," a revolutionary non-aerosol bore cleaner designed especially for tactical firearms used in high-stress environments. This product stands out as the first of its kind to tackle the unique cleaning challenges presented by the AR platform.
Unique Features and Applications
-
Enhanced Cleaning Formula: "Tactical Advantage" is capable of dissolving copper, carbon, and powder fouling more effectively and rapidly than any other product on the market. It is designed to be used straight from the bottle or diluted with tap water for varied applications.
-
Versatile Use: It can be applied directly to a patch or mop for swabbing through the barrel or diluted and sprayed onto bolt carriers and gas systems. This versatility ensures that all parts of the firearm are thoroughly cleaned with minimal effort and mess.
-
Specifically Designed for Tactical Firearms: The product’s formulation addresses the precise needs of firearms that undergo rapid and extensive use, particularly in tactical situations where reliability under fire is paramount.
Method of Use
- Direct Application: Apply "Tactical Advantage" on a patch, nylon brush, or mop and allow it to soak to dissolve the fouling efficiently.
- Pre-Soak Patch: Before using with WIPE-OUT "ACCELERATOR™", a pre-soak patch can loosen powder fouling, enhancing the dissolution of copper and carbon.
- Regular Maintenance: Between shooting relays or shot strings, use it as a barrel swab to maintain cleanliness and ensure optimal performance.
- Spray Application: For deep cleaning, mix it in a 50/50 ratio with water in a spray bottle and apply to heavily fouled parts like bolt carriers, muzzle brakes, and suppressors.
Safety and Environmental Considerations
"Tactical Advantage" is as safe and environmentally considerate as possible for a chemical cleaner. It is odorless, does not contain acid or ammonia, and is harmless to modern gunstock finishes (excluding shellac, varnish, or oil). It also provides color indicators for different types of fouling, helping users identify and focus cleaning efforts more effectively.
Benefits
The deployment of "TACTICAL ADVANTAGE" has led to significant improvements in maintenance efficiency, with no M-4's or M-16's being discarded due to fouling under the contractor's watch—a stark contrast to the previous year. It offers:
- Quick and effective cleaning,
- Protection against corrosion and rust,
- Safe use on various metal parts and platings,
- No residue left that could impair firearm functionality.
Availability
"TACTICAL ADVANTAGE" is available in an 8-ounce plastic bottle with a flip-top lid, capable of cleaning volumes comparable to two cans of WIPE-OUT™, making it an economical and effective solution for tactical shooting enthusiasts and professional operators alike.
