I was going to create a thread myself but found this one instead. I don't enjoy cleaning guns but it stresses me out knowing I have dirty ones in my safe that I'll probably not shoot for several years. I want to clean all of my guns next week while the weather is less than ideal for being outside all day.
Questions.
1. Do you all cut down your patches to fit whichever rifle you're cleaning? Or do you have precut patches for each caliber? It's kind of a pain to cut these patches - I don't always cut down to the right size.
2. I have a one piece Dewey rod that I bought a longtime ago for my 223. I should be able to use this for anything 223 to .30 caliber, right? No real need to have multiples?
3. Would you just have jags and bronze brushes for each caliber? Something like this?
4. I should be good on solvents. I have Hoppes gun bore cleaner, breakfree CLP, and birchwood casey gun scrubber aerosol.
Any other recommendations? Trying to keep this as simple as possible.
