If its not a secret[;)]

    Thank you for the compliment Sam. I have a plastic rectangular tray on my desk with a bunch of different cleaning stuf. Most of the time I use hoppes 9 to coat the bore first thing. Some times I will use it to rub down a stock as well. If I have light rust on metal or wood that looks grungy I use fine bronze wool wet with oil like rem oil or Kroil. . . The bronze won?t scratch a gun like steel wool. I usually don?t want any oil on a gun when I photo it. Most guns have some flaws and oil will hide them. I want them seen in the pictures. I need the gun as clean as I can possibly get it or it looks bad in the photos. I have the small nylon brushes like tooth brushes all over the place. I don?t think I could clean a gun without those brushes. I buy the big bags of Southern Bloomer patches in two sizes .30 cal and the large shotgun size. I can clean pretty much anything with those but I will cut the .30 cal in half for small bore guns. I will occasionally use brake cleaner to clean a really mucked up gun and it works great just don?t get it on wood. Hope this helps.

    Thanks!

    I am going to get started on mine. I took everything out of the gun safe and am doing a major cleaning and cull.
