    Show us your cleaning kit!

    All of us have one. Be it an Otis pocket pouch or a sonic cleaner that costs hundreds of dollars.

    I put mine together in a pirates chest i finished and sealed myself. 1911 for size comparison.




    You'd be surprised how much stuff fits inside.


    Gloves, Solvents, Oils, Patches, Borelight, Brush kit, Detail stripping kit, cotton swabs and cleaning mat


    Inside the brush kit, i have brushes for all common bores, jags, eyelets, scrapers, rods and a few spare patches/swabs.
    Inside the detail kit, i have allen wrenches that fit each of my firearms, a small hammer (yes, i know it's covered in flowers. It was the smallest one, and it has screwdrivers nesting inside) for punching pins, nylon bushings to serve as hollow areas for the pins to go instead of into my coffee table, and c-clamps to reinstall pins via squeezing instead of banging.

    In boot, we kept our cleaning kit in an inside-out toiletry bag. This felt much more civilized.

    so, CGN, i wanna see your cleaning setup!

    Paper towels & paper plates set on a large rectangular plastic container cover (can store everything except the long gun rods in it). + Q-tips

    I love Dewey rods BTW.

      All necessary components present:



      The other jags and such are inside the plastic cigar tube. It all fits into the PVC case I made. One note: for those of you making this PVC case, you'll need to drill an air hole in one of the plastic caps or it's a bear to open and close.

                Oof. When we moved out of the student barracks, my roommate found a sock that looked like that under his mattress.
