Chamber and locking lug recess cleaning kit

.22 rifles:

12ga shotgun:

Stuff used for several firearms:
Copper solvent for the rifles. I recommend Montana X-Treme Copper Killer.
Cheap cotton patches for the shotguns and handguns, something like Southern Bloomers.
Powder solvent, for cleaning everything except rifle bores.
General purpose brushes. Look like double-ended toothbrushes.
Grease
Oil
USGI Oxbow .30 caliber patches, trim them to size. Cut into quarters they work perfectly for .22 rimfires and centerfires.
 
I also have the Otis kit in my range bag, good kit but only use it when going to visit my sons, out of town

I just wanted to share with ya a little bit of what OTIS provides their customers. This is another option your able to purchase.

I bought this from the PC on Benning for $27.50. Definitely nice and affordable.

I will use a bore snake if it is just cleaning up a low rounds count barrel. I dont think I have a individual kit. I have chest that is full of almost everything you could think of it is all a mixture of things including a tooth brush with Ninja Turtles on it.
 
Honestly boresnakes are one of the best things ever, I only really use rods when the guns are really really dirty anymore. That mixed with elcheapo remoil has never let me down and you know how i run mine lolol i do use q-tips a whole lot make sure you use the paper stem ones not the plastic and a good dental pick i picked up at a gun show for the ultra stubborn new milsurps.

For the job a q-tips does, I use Swab-its. Fantastic product. No fibers left behind. You can clean and re-use them too.
