Can you help me with a shopping list?

bggwind · August 28, 2009, 08:28 AM

Folks -

I will be getting 4 rifles that are all older and in need of some cleaning. I haven't laid eyes on them in some years, but I'm sure they are going to need some love. Maybe a little light rust on barrels, full cleaning, etc...

Could you possibly help me with a shopping list for light cleaning supplies? I have some Hoppes 9 on hand and stuff for my .38 Special, but that's about it.

Much Thanks In Advance!

Some good solvent oil (Kroil, CLP, Hoppes Gold, etc)
Some good gun grease (RIG, SuperLube, Gunzilla, Weaponshield, etc)
Good cotton woven cloth patches (Midway sells them by the bag)
Good bronze brushes for the bores and a one-piece cleaning rod
Nylon brushes for the exterior of the guns (again, Midway sells them by the bag)
Scotts Liquid Gold or odorless mineral spirits for cleaning the stocks
TreWax or Johnson's Paste Wax for the stocks after they're cleaned
A good gun screwdriver kit (Forsters or Wheeler from Midway)
NRA rifle disassembly/assembly manual
