It's an important responsibility for gun owners to ensure their gun cleaning kit is stocked with the proper gun cleaning supplies. Just as important, your supplies should be caliber-specific for the barrel cleanings. It's recommended to provide thorough cleanings to guns that aren't fired often and most agree not doing so can present a safety hazard. A routine cleaning is the best insurance, whether a gun is shot once a week or rarely leaves its case.

When restocking your gun cleaning kit, make sure you have the basics, including cleaning solvent, oil or grease, patches polish, cleaning rods, and remember the best cleaning kit is specific to the barrel size: lubricants and soft cloths. Your guns are an investment and protecting your investment should be a priority. A high quality cleaning mat is always recommended for home, range, or travel use to protect bench surfaces and keep small parts from being lost.
For the collectors, a good cleaner that can prevent rusting to some of the older guns is strongly encouraged. For those who live for hunting season, after each hunt as well as the end of the season should mean an automatic and thorough cleaning of your rifles and shotguns. Aside from what comes stock in a traditional cleaning kit, a toothbrush and perhaps a quality pipe cleaner are excellent additions to your kits.
