Gun cleaning kits

[Flfiremedic]

What is the best and most complete universal gun cleaning kit? What is the new odorless bore cleaner? Thanks in advance!

M-Pro7 is pretty much odorless. I don't know if that's the one to which you refer.

The big Otis kits are pretty extensive.

I can't say I really enjoy cleaning guns, and I found it most efficient to put my own kit together with brushes, jags, patches, etc. for my most commonly used guns. That way, everything I need is in one box without a bunch of extraneous stuff to pick through.
I don't know what the new odorless cleaner is, but I use BreakFree for just about everything. Again, it's simple... one product, multiple uses. I don't think it smells too bad.

I built my own as well. I used to have an outers cleaning kit with one of those evil steel rods where the sections don't line up right. I used that as a base replacing pieces here and there into a cheap tackle box until now I have a pretty complete high end cleaning kit.

One of the smartest things I did was the patches. I bought a huge bag of 12ga/50 cal patches and stuck a pair of scissors in the kit. I cut those down to the perfect size for each caliber I have.

My cleaning kit is in a plastic box with built in rifle holder. in the lid it has a smaler plastic box that carries 2 3 section cleaning rod, jag and brushes from .172 to .452 a spot for both small and large patched, 1 bottle of hoppies #9 and hoppies gun oil, it comes with an action cleaning rod, plastic picks, a shaving brush and much more.

My dad got it for my from Midway about 15 years ago.

Another vote for the Otis kits. We still have a few in stock. Not sure about the odorless cleaners. I'm quite fond of the smell of Hoppe's #9 in the morning.

Don't spend your money on a cleaning kit since they come with stuff you will not need (as others here pointed out). Go to your local store Bass Pro, Cabellas, Gander, or a gun shop (in most gun shops that stuff is more expensive) and get a bottle of CLP (http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=840573), patches, and rod and bronze brush for your caliber. You might want to throw in a silicone cloth for nice, shiny effect on your firearm after cleaning

That is really what you need. Then you can add stuff as you go.

Self-assembled kits are the best, imho. I start out with a cheap Wal-Mart kit, and a couple items--threading adaptors, bronze brushes--are useful. But I've added a good carbon fiber rod for calibers/gauge I use most often, a decent stainless rod for .22, nice big 12 ga patches and old fabric and cutter to make custom sized patches, tornado brushes from Hoppes, mil-spec bore cleaner, nylon and bronze brushes, q-tips and toothpicks, screwdrivers, etc.

But then I turned the basement workbench onto a gun bench.
