Puppy housebreaking pads work good for cleaning rifles on. Contains all the mess to be easily thrown away and the white material prevents lost parts.

I like the puppy pad idea, thanks, and a cleaning rod section fired using a blank round makes a great quiet and lethal at short range stray cat erradicator

back in the day when the only revolver speed strips came in 38/357 a peice of innertube rubber with a row of properly sized holes would make a great expedient speed strip in any caliber.

of course now we have tuff products

Don't just lube the exposed part of the AR-15 bolt carrier before shooting, it does nothing. Instead remove it and lightly oil the silver surfaces (where the finish gets rubbed off).

Pipe cleaners are great for cleaning the gas tube of an AR.

A good way to ease into both eyes open shotgun shooting is to put a small piece of tape or a round shot pastey on your shooting glasses to prevent you from seeing the target but learn the feel of keeping both your eyes open.

A roll of masking tape and a roll of electrical tape are great for covering shot holes and extending the life of your targets.

To do a speed reload on an AK, swipe the mag out with your fresh one. A solid push forward on the mag release with the fresh mag will drop it and get it clear with ease.

You can make a great mag coupler by taking an empty dip can with the lid removed and taping your mags to either side of it.

Buy those slip on rifle ammo for your rifle stock and cut every second or third one. Now you can use it to store your 10/22 or 597 mags on the buttstock.

A dab of model paint on the back of your Garand En-Bloc Clips make them easy to find in taller grass.
You can store bore brushes, swabs etc. in old medicne bottles.
