Just like how you will need the essential tools for home renovation (read more here), your weapons will also require the proper tools and accessories for cleaning and maintenance. After all, you will want to make sure that your weapons function well and will last for a long time. But what should be inside your cleaning kit and how do you clean a gun? Read on as I show you the essential tools and tips you need to know about cleaning your weapons.

The Important Tools You Need to Clean Your Weapons

Here are the four essential tools you need for cleaning your weapons and why they’re important:

Bore Brush

You won’t be able to clean your items, particularly your weapons, properly without a good brush. The bore brush is what you’ll need to break and remove any build-up inside your gun and its barrel. Through brushing and passing this tool inside the barrel, you aren’t pushing gunk in and out, but removing it permanently.

The Right Chemicals

You will need something to remove any foreign material and residue from your gun’s barrels. Invest in:

• Solvent to remove carbon and lead

• Degreaser to remove dirt and oil

• Lubricant to protect the gun from rust

• Protectant to propel your gun from water, harsh environments, and rust

Cleaning Rods

Cleaning rods are a necessity that helps in cleaning narrow or hard-to-reach places, such as your gun’s barrel. These are long metal rods which assist you in brushing and take out any residue left in your weapon. I recommend that you find a cleaning rod softer than your gun’s metal, such as bronze.

Multi Tools

The multi-tool comes with a variety of tools that are needed to assemble and disassemble the gun when cleaning. These are compact and can fit in your pocket or cleaning kit quickly. It saves you time from manually disassembling the gun with separate tools you need to look for in a kit.

In Conclusion

If you want to make sure that your weapons work well and will continue to perform its best for years to come, then the first thing to keep in mind would be the way you clean and handle it. Through knowing how to clean and maintain your gun, you will be able to enjoy your weapons without worry of it failing on you while practicing or hunting.
