Some years ago I bought a couple of Kleenbore's deluxe cleaning kits, (1 rifle, 1 shotgun), about everything you'd want in a kit and housed in nice wood presentation cases. Here are some pictures....

I also like the compact "PocKit" by Kleenbore, small and handy to throw in with hunting gear.

I use Bore Tech rods www.boretech.com with either bore guides for bolt actions or crown protectors for the odd lever action. I use Butch's Bore shine distributed by Lyman www.lymanproducts.com and rarely use brushes except on revolver chambers. Butch's patches are just fine too, if a triffle spendy.

I bought a Midway Ultimate Cleaning kit in Range box for Rifle, and then got all the shotgun stuff for my shotguns seperate.

If I'm wrong please correct me, I won't be offended.

Late last fall I ran across a product that is made in my own back yard, so to speak, it is the line of Blue Wonder Gun Care Products that are made by Novum Solutions, Inc. (832-204-0866, 1585 W. Sam Houston Parkway N., Suite #200 Houston, TX 77043, www.novumsolutions.com ) My search for a non-lethal and environmentally safe gun cleaner is what led me to Novum Solutions in the first place. After years of experimenting with various ingredients these people have finally found the correct combination of chemicals that cleans my firearms and is also environmentally safe. The cleaning process I use starts by running the cleaner down the bore on a clean patch and then letting it sit for about ten minutes. During this ten-minute wait I use the cleaner on the action, bolt, percussion nipple, etc. of the firearm being cleaned. Then after approximately ten minutes I run a wire brush down the bore several times before following up with another patch soaked in the cleaner. Finally I run several clean dry patches down the bore to remove the remaining cleaner before finishing up with a lightly oiled patch. Except in unusually dirty bores, I am finished with my cleaning process after only a 15 to 20 minutes. I have easily removed lead, copper and powder fouling from my bores with this cleaner. I am not sure of the exact process that it uses to remove this crud, I just know it works.

I use the Dewey one piece coated rods at home and the little Kit-n-kaboodle cleaning kits on hunting trips. Also carry a bore snake in the field.
