I like the BoreSnake. I've got several of them for different rifles, shotguns and handguns.

J Dewey. I have replaced the cheap brass threaded rod sections over and over. Then, I discovered J Dewey while looking for a brush for a .17 rifle. I don't think I'll ever have to replace a cleaning rod again.

I've bought a few of the stainless steel one-piece rods and the nylon pull through cables. I also bought several of their brushes including chamber brushes. I don't think there's anything extra special about their brushes but the rods and cables will last me the rest of my life.

Hornady oneshot gun cleaner and dry lube , it has a solvent that carries the dry lube , in pistols generally carbon is the biggest issue this flushes carbon out and leaves a rust protective film and lube , it dries dry and doesn't attract/allow further dust and dirt to stick. also polymer safe.
https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1014743671?pid=170954

bore snake , pull through if I am cleaning revolvers I also like a nylon brush on a short rod

and an M16 brush as some call it a double ended nylon brush https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1018544759?pid=509674

cleaned 2 38 revolvers in a few minutes each the other night spray them down brush carbon , run a bore snake and use the nylon brush on the rod to get the cylinder, final spray and wipe down and done.

I had let one of the Glocks go about 2K rounds without cleaning , still an easy clean up hose out the lower with the one shot , brush at it a bit spray down again to flush any remaining carbon out ,wear gloves , while if flushes the carbon form the hard surfaces of the gun very well it deposits it in the cracks of your hands very well.

no need to go back and lube the, lube was in the solvent. the exception is I still put a couple drops of oil on the gas rings on the bolt in an AR but it is a direct gas system oil helps with gas seal.

spray and brush the slide spray again , spray and run the pull through a couple times through the barrel re-assemble.

the Hornady OneShot is a time savings , plastic safe , finish safe and it doesn't get sticky like other lubes I have used do with time.

high velocity stuff , 223 , 308 I use Hoppes foaming bore cleaner to get the copper out after the first range trip , after about 100 rounds , then after 200 rounds and then about every 300 rounds , this does need to be neutralized then oiled. some people will go decades and not shoot that much high velocity >2400fps ammo my 30-06 doesn't see that many rounds , I have used the Barnes copper solvent in the past also , it works well if you have heavy copper build up but is very harsh on finish and the nose.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

X2 on the Dewey rods and brushes. I sold tons of their stuff.... made in the US and lasts forever.

Another great product for shotguns is Gun Scrubber to get out everything at once from the barrel, especially plastic wad residue.

Brownell's has an incredible selection of cleaning and lube products including all the classics like Butch's, Sweets, Hoppe's and others.

I have been using WipeOut foam recently for rifle bores and love it. Nothing else gets both fouling and copper out with as little work. In addition, it contains an anti-corrosive agent so no oiling of the bore is needed afterwards.

I hunt mostly squirrels with rimfire rifles.
I wipe the outside of my rimfire rifles with oil. The bores never see cleaning until they start grouping poorly. Sometimes, that may be 2 or 3 years.
A clean bore shoots lots different than a bore that is fouled.
Once I clean the bore and before using it for hunting, I fire maybe 6 fouling shots through the bore.

While in the army at the end of the day after shooting we would not clean the rifles until we completed the course the next day. Going to try something,
I shoot a revolver with a 1.75 barrel, the first 8 round are always bad, then they get better. Going to try the first 8 rounds off the paper first.

All that I would add is that all break open type guns should have the hinge point lubed with a good grease.
