Gun Cleaning Kits Are A Necessary Part Of Keeping Your Gun In Great Shape

it’s just after sunset after the first day of my annual hunting trip, and as i sit in my hunting cabin with my gun cleaning kit spread out on the table i look back over the day.  it was a good day: i was in the woods before sunup, saw a number of elk, and eventually brought home a turkey.

i used the rifle that my dad gave me when i turned 21; he, in turn, received it from his dad for his 21^st birthday.  the rifle is a beautiful work of art and—even after all these years—a flawless piece of machinery.  to keep it in pristine condition, i am very diligent to thoroughly clean it every time i use it.

gun cleaning kits are indispensable

when you fire a rifle a number of things happen all at once.  you essentially have a controlled explosion that pushes a bullet through a metal tube at an extremely high velocity.  as you can imagine, both the explosion and the passage of the bullet leave residue inside the rifle.  over time, a buildup of this residue can contribute to the mechanical failure of the rifle.

thus, you absolutely must have a good gun cleaning kit in order to ensure that you get every part of your rifle clean.  some places will sell cheap cleaning kits that don’t do much more than smear the mess around inside your rifle; these kits end up doing pretty much nothing other than making you feel better about cleaning your gun.
