First gun (10/22), first cleaning kit.
I went down to my local big box superstore and told them that I needed a cleaning kit. The guy suggested one of the Hoppe's kits. I bought it.
Later I went home and watched some YouTube videos on maintenance. One guy suggested the Otis brand and said he didn't like the aluminum rods on the Hoppe's kits.
So here is what I bought.
Amazon.com : Otis .22-30 Caliber Rifle Cleaning Kit : Hunting Cleaning And Maintenance Products : Sports & Outdoors
I also bought a .22 caliber brush and replacement patches.
Lastly, I bought a "snake" from Hoppe's. I was told this is good for quick cleanings.
Amazon.com : Hoppe's 24011 BoreSnake Rifle Bore Cleaner, M-16, .22-.223 Caliber, 5.56mm : Bore Snake : Sports & Outdoors
How'd I do? Do I need other things to complete my kit? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jumpy
