Then I clean the body with some gun cleaner and a tooth brush. Let it dry, and oil with Rem Oil.

I do something very similar^^^

No need to buy an all-in-one kit. Just buy a cheap plastic Plano fishing tackle box with compartmentalized stacker shelves and label them by caliber with a Sharpie. Keep all the caliber specific jags, brushes, mops, etc in the compartments. Put your cleaners, lubes, and oils in the main compartment.

I only use one piece cleaning rods too. You really only need two sizes if you buy some adapters to fit all the attachments.




Or this is, if you need an excuse to buy more spoons.
