Some people spend thousands of dollars on their firearms and don’t take the time to properly care for them. Using something as simple as a $20 gun cleaning kit can save you thousands of dollars. A good universal gun cleaning kit will save you so much time and you can clean all your guns with it.
In this little guide, I’ll teach you how to care for your guns the right way. Let’s take a look at some of the top gun cleaning supplies that the pros use and learn how to properly use them.
The one thing you should always be asking yourself before you fire your gun is, is my gun clean? If it's not then you should take the extra time to sit down and clean it. Many people often spend more time cleaning their guns then they do firing them.
Use only on the Best gun cleaning kit
When you look for the best gun cleaning kit, you’ll find a cleaning rod with an assortment of different brushes. Theses brushes are used to remove carbon buildup and make sure that your gun is clean of all moisture. Moisture is very bad for guns and can easily occur if it’s cold out and you bring your gun inside in a warmer environment.
Different brushes and gun mops have different functions. A bronze brush is the first you want to use if your gun is very dirty. If it’s only a little dirty then you may want to use a nylon brush, which will remove most of the carbon fouling inside your gun. The
Choosing the best gun cleaning solvent
In order to prevent moisture buildup you need to be using the best gun cleaning solvent. A gun cleaning solvent is used to clean the bore and barrel and lubricate everything. You should think of your gun as a machine and if it’s not properly lubricated then it won’t work well.
Quick cleaning with a bore snake kit
When you go to the range or your out in the field you may not want to break out the gun cleaning kit. A bore snake kit is used to quickly clean your gun after firing and should be used a lot. It should become your best friend because it can save your gun when you’re in a pinch or just don’t have the time to do a full clean.
Most of the times you should be using a gun cleaning kit with cleaning rods and brushes but once in a while a bore snake is good. All you simply need to do is spray your bore snake with your favorite CLP and run it thought the bore and barrel of your gun. It takes about a minute to clean your gun and many people fail to do this. Doing this after you’re done firing will reduce the amount of times you need to do a full clean.
Break out the Gun Cleaning Mat
You should always use a good gun cleaning mat when cleaning your guns. The CLP can easily soak into just about any service and ruin your favorite table. They are pretty inexpensive and I’ve seen people use a yoga mat or an old piece of carpet as a gun cleaning mat. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy to get the job done.
