    Default Which cleaning kit?

    I don't really feel like making my own so wondering what you guys use for cleaning kits when you shoot a lot.

    I was thinking the full Otis cleaning system which is $130 on amazon... anyone use this or what is a good system. Right now I have a junk box from BP that has mix and match parts from different kits. Kind of tired for searching through different systems.

    links appreciated but not necessary!

    Thanks, Craig

    I have assorted universal rods and jags/brushes/mops. I never went for an all-in-1 kit. The rods are easy to distinguish. The jags and brushes are kept in an opaque snap closed container with dividers. I just write the caliber on the lid for the associated compartment. Handheld brushes and bore light have an elongated compartment without dividers.

    Dewey rods for rifle calibers. Basic hand gun rod with ends for each pistol caliber. I have an Otis for the range bag and some patches. That's when i'm running suppressed and need a quick go at it , mate.

    Hell...I just put a patch over the end of my bullet and fire away. Isn't that how you're supposed to do it?

    Not bad, their Huey and Louie ones are good bang for the buck, too.

    Otis makes good stuff, Walmart sells a good starter kit for a cheaper option.
