My first gun cleaning kit was an Outers. It was a small red tin box with a cleaning rod, a couple of bronze brushes, some patches and some oil. While cleaning guns hasn’t changed much in the past 60 years that I’ve been cleaning guns, the products available to help with the task have.
I recently became the proud owner of a GuardTech Plus Universal Cleaning Kit that is destined to make my gun cleaning tasks easier. You see I have tons of gun cleaning chemicals and hardware accumulated over the years and especially as carryover from when I taught gun cleaning classes as part of my Texas Gun Pros gun store and training academy. People come up with new stuff for gun cleaning all the time. And although much of it impresses me the way I clean guns hasn’t changed in 60 years. Will the GuardTech kit change that? Not the chemicals, not the methods or techniques, no, but it will make things easier because of how organized it is.
This kit has all the hardware I need to clean guns and it has it so organized that I can keep up with the right brush for the caliber, the correct rods, everything. Here’s what’s in the box:
- 3 solid brass rods for calibers .30 and larger
- 3 solid brass rods for calibers .17 -.270
- 3 utility brushes — stainless steel, brass and nylon
- 13 brass jags
- 4 brass slotted tips
- 14 bronze brushes
- 3 brass adapters
- 9 cotton mops
- 1 bore cleaner
- cleaning patches
- cotton cleaning swabs
- 3 muzzle guards
The kit holds everything in it’s place, which will eliminate the digging around in a box or pile to find the size brush or jag needed. I’m all for organization and this kit makes it easy.
Thank you Jim Toshack and his crew for making this kit available. You can find it on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/3rANpcV
