Dewey, Tipton, and Parker Hale...cleaning rods...

Just bought 6 rifle Cleaning rods, 2 Dewey Nylon Coated, 3 Park Hale and 14 brass PH cleaning jags for $56. The 6th rod was ehhh...at auction.

Best to piece a cleaning kit together...buy good quality components.

Look for the US military surplus cotton 30 cal cleaning patches, they also came in 22 cal. Just about the best that there is. Also US mil spec bore cleaner...and grease...

Those US mil cleaning patches used to be every where but they have dried up...

I like Break Free and or LPS for lubricants and cleaning. Also you can mix Kano Kroil oil and GM Top Engine Cleaner a friend told me that is what he uses.

For Black Powder... automotive Water Pump lubricant..water solvable oil. I use that to swab out the bore to clean out the fouling and to lubricate my patches. At home a bucket of boiling hot water with some detergent. Then dry dry dry and oil oil oil.

I also have a Chapman gun screw driver set.
