So, being fairly new to the AR world, I think I just about got most of what I need for a good cleaning kit:
AR15 bore and chamber brushes single piece and USGI cleaning rods HOPPES #9 solvent SLIP 2000 lubricant/protectant barrel swabs silicon rag to make her look all shiny 
...am I missing anything? |

Eventually, you may need a good dedicated bore solvent depending on how badly your bore fouls. If you have a chrome bore or a very smooth SS or CM bore, Hoppe's might be fine. You will also need patches sized appropriately for your bore and a jag to use them with.
Some rifles benefit from the use of a stronger bore cleaner. Shooter's Choice, Sweets 7.62 and Butch's Bore Shine are just a few I'm familiar with. They will do a better job of copper fouling removal than either CLP or Hoppe's. Another good choice is foaming bore cleaner. Since I've started using it, I do a lot less patch pushing with a rod. |
