Looking to make sure my cleaning kit is the best I can get.  I want to break it down first by hardware then by software.  I mean software is chemical products.  And best prices to obtain.

Hardware Needed: (I will take a shot at it first)

1)  Cleaning rod of somekind ie Otis, Dewey, etc
2)  Bore Guide w/solvent port?
3)  Various brushes ie?

Was this a good start? and what brand of products?  

Software:

1)  Bore Cleaner

2)  overall lubricant after cleaning

3)  heavy duty grease for bolt and bolt carrier?

I hear TW-25B is good.  Is it better than tetra Gun products?

I need you help.  Thanks.  Ralph

   I use a Dewey, both are fine
2)  Bore Guide w/solvent port?
   I use both,port minimizes waste & mess
3)  Various brushes ie?
   I prefer nylon & bronze brushes, I use the
   bronze brush sparingly. Get a jag too.

Was this a good start? and what brand of products?  Yes, I buy cleaning supplies from
          Sinclair International.

Software:

1)  Bore Cleaner
   Shooters Choice, Sweets for copper, again
   use sparingly, opinions may vary

2)  overall lubricant after cleaning
   I prefer Miltec & CLP

3)  heavy duty grease for bolt and bolt carrier?
   I use Miltec on bolt

I hear TW-25B is good.  Is it better than tetra Gun products? Never tried TW-25B, I use tetra on
             my handgun, works well
Go to www.sinclairintl.com  They carry all of
these products and more. (Except the Miltec)
I need you help.  Thanks.  Ralph

Something to remove the bulk of the residue after cleaning the chamber with brush and a solvent, makes things go faster.

This can range from a spray can of Gun Scrubber or brake cleaner to bulk solvents and an air hose (then again a ultrasonic cleaner also works well ;-).
