I'm now in the process of owning my own first rifles. I've opted for the Howa 1500 in .223 and the Ruger American .22 to start of with and I'm wondering if you all have any recommendations for cleaning kits?
I thought I had the .223 covered as I trawled through my old kit box from the army but seems I gave away my all singing and dancing kit when I got out! There's a lot on the market so kits and suppliers would be most welcomed.
Thanks in advance
Marty
Don't bother.
Get a one-piece rod with a ball bearing handle.
A jag, a nylon brush and perhaps a mop.
A roll of 2x4" patch material.
A spray can of a combination solvent/oil.
A tube of gun grease.
Grab an MTM box with the V pieces to support the rifle and house your cleaning gear.
