It was time for a thorough cleaning of my weapons. As a child, I would put a few blankets or pillows on the kitchen table and try to keep my gun for cleaning upon them, rags are cut from an old worn flannel shirt. There are some modern elements that are easier guns make cleaning and would not cost much.

These are the elements that I have used and why I love them.

MTM Gunsmith - Center - Service: The system is air, but it is only a plastic base with two teeth "Y" for you to put your weapon. It has a compartment for holding oil, rags and stems. Life 100 times easier it becomes. I am also in the field with me sometimes. For example, soon I will have a 25-06 shooting Hornady ammunition and tests to see how clean the weapon affects its accuracy. I'll put the MTM on the tailgate of my truck.

Bar cleaning: OK, I'm from the old school. I like a strong cleaning stick to my guns at home. I have just one boss Avid Pro Cleaning Kit threat a brass rod three parts. It comes with a variety of tips, brushes, etc.

Cleaning oils: I can not even begin can tell you how to clean many Otis solvents and oils. I bet you have 20-30 different. For this task remover solvent cleaners its full copper and gun protection weapon. Then I like their protection in a spray gun. Thus, if necessary, you can apply the oil in inaccessible places.

Then I found clean cloth patches in the run protection spray solvent. And finally I was in solvents Protector with gun on the outside of my shotguns running a patch to prevent external corrosion.
