Cleaning Kit

If this is in the wrong section, I apologize.

I own a 20ga and still need to get cleaning supplies for it. (starting to feel bad about constantly borrowing my buddies stuff

) I was wondering if you guys reccomend going out and buying one of the ready made kits, or assembling your own, and if so what do you reccomend I go out and get?

Thanks!

I just use an inexpensive Hoppes shotgun cleaning kit. They run around $20. They come with cleaning rod, brushes for different guages, swabs, solvent and oil. Thats all you really need.

Just as jh said, the Hoppe's kit will work just fine. You don't have to worry about the rifling, and the crown is important, but not as much as on a rifle. Your cleaning rod probably won't even touch the sides of the barrel.
