You could buy either the GI kit or an Otis kit for starters. The Otis would be better IMO. The GI is pretty much fundamentals with sectional rod, chamber brush, bore brush, patch puller, GP brush, pipe cleaners, patches, and CLP. The Otis will give you a pullthrough, obstruction remover, bore brush, patch puller, chamber brush, T Handle, bore reflector, patches, CLP, cleaning booklet, and depending on which version you get there could be more items, including and instructional mini CD-ROM. You won't have to break the weapon down for a general cleaning with the Otis. If you want to get more specialized equipment there are whole sections of Brownells, Creedmore, and Midway USA to look at. |

Hoppes makes a kit that you can buy at Academy, however, THIS is what I would recomend: .22 caliber Bore Snake, donkey size box of Q-tips, cotton rags (get a pack of plain white t-shirts and go crazy with a pair of scissors), jar of hoppes solvent and a bottle of CLP. That will give you the ability to keep the weapon running in the field. For a really detailed, Inspection 4 sparkle, add a set of dental picks (available from Ranger Joes) and a hard bristled tooth brush to your kit. |
