Cleaning kits - The Firearms Forum

Who here has more than one cleaning kit, I like to go to farm auctions and over the years have picked up four of them for cheap. It seems that each one has a slightly different make up that is convient for one type of gun or another. Just wondering.................

I have several but their all put together in one tool box. Ill take a few things out and put them in an ammo can when I go shooting.

Because I have been shooting for over 60 years, I have a few.

I just picked up a new one on sale at WM for $20. Everything from 10GA to .17. Three different brass break-down rods, two handles, brass brushes, cotton swabs, adapters for all the tips, about 12 different jags, patches and large wiping cloth. No chemicals, aw shucks.

All the rest of the stuff I've collected over the years is in 3 different tool boxes or ammo cans.

I have two large tackle boxes. 1 for pistol & 1 for rifles. I've got 4 or 5 Dewey & Pro Shot pistol rods and 7 or 8 Dewey rifle rods. The rods stay in the rifle cases so that they are with the guns at all times.
I tend to be kinda anal about some things.

I carry an Otis (I really like these) while shooting and have another one in my cleaning case at the house.
