Well between all the moves from this house, too that house my cleaning supplies are all over the place or in the garage. However, they were cleaning kits for my 40 ACP and 9mm. Now it's time to get something for the new AR15.
Barrel - Interesting, I see the new thing is using a bore sock for the barrel. Question for those of you who use this sock, do you still use a rod and that bristle brush? Or, does the sock get enough of the carbon off?
Bolt carrier group - Compared to my pistol, after cleaning I usually just leave a little bit of oil on the rails. I hear/see from youtube people using grease. I would think the grease would collect a lot of gunk. Had I not seen that, I would have cleaned it, and just put a little only on the parts that slide. Could you clarify or help me see the light with the grease?
Things to purchase - Bore sock, cleaning solution, clothes or old tee shirts, I still see the gun oil for metal protection maybe just for inside. Or maybe grease.
What kits do you all have, or is more a-la-cart?
I haven't taken apart a M16 since 1984. It's been awhile.
I will stop by fleet farm tomorrow they should have some supplies.
