Tipton Bore Guides and Patch Trap
Tipton RAPID™ Deluxe Bore Guide Kit

![]() |
The Tipton RAPID Deluxe Bore Guide Kit contains several great tools that ensure the safest, easiest, and most effective cleaning possible.
RAPID allows you to easily align and secure a patch for solvent application, then holds it with the correct amount of tension for perfect jag penetration. When the rod is pushed into the RAPID, it automatically releases the patch. It also keeps harmful solvents off your gun’s finish in the process.
A bore guide will help protect the bore and action of your rifle by properly aligning the cleaning rod and reducing solvent overflow. Cleaning without a bore guide can allow the rod to “bow” and rub or gouge the chamber and throat of the bore causing real damage and loss of accuracy. Keeping the rod properly aligned not only protects your barrel, it properly directs the force exerted on the cleaning rod handle, allowing tight patches to be pushed safer and easier.
Note: Will Not Fit .22 Rimfire

Tipton Patch Trap™
Cleaning the barrel on your rifle, shotgun or muzzleloader can be a messy chore. Solvent splatter drips, and dirty patches always seem to end up where you don’t want them. Strong solvents and powder residue can stain clothes and work surfaces. The Tipton Patch Trap puts an end to the mess.
The Tipton Patch Trap quickly attaches to the end of any rifle, shotgun or muzzleloader barrel. The threaded end accepts a common water or soda bottle. Once secured in place it will safely capture solvent splatter, drips, and dirty patches. When you’re finished cleaning the barrel, simply discard the used bottle in a safe location. It is constructed of a solvent resistant material and uses a durable rubber strap to secure it in the position on the muzzle of the gun. The Patch Trap makes cleaning quicker and eliminates the mess.
It's simple to use:
1) Attach the patch trap to the muzzle of any gun
2) Screw an empty water or soda bottle into the threaded end
3) Dirty patches and solvent are safely and cleanly contained
4) Dispose of the used bottle (NOTE: Adhere to cleaning chemical manufacturer’s warnings. Dispose of the bottle with cap OFF in well-ventilated area.)
