A Guide To Using A Gun Cleaning Kit

Once a person has purchased the best gun cleaning kit that they can afford, it’s time for them to learn how to use that kit effectively. That’s why we decided to write this guide in the first place. Although this guide may not provide experienced gun owners with any new information, it’s a good place to start for anyone new to cleaning their gun. As is always the case, the gun owner should always treat his weapon as if it were loaded—even while, or especially while, they’re cleaning it.

Step One: Have A Gun Cleaning Room Or Space

The first thing the gun owner is going to want to do is to prepare a room for cleaning their weapon. If the person doesn’t have enough floor space to dedicate an entire room of their home, then they should at least clear off an area that’s dedicated to nothing but cleaning their weapon.

This room (or area) needs to be completely away from ammunition. This includes not only loose ammo but also ammo canisters. You don’t want any chance of a weapon that’s in the cleaning area being accidentally loaded with a bullet. The area should also have a stable surface such as a table that the cleaning equipment can be laid out and the gun can be taken apart on. Ammunition should always be stored away from the cleaning area—no ifs, ands or buts.

And lastly, this cleaning area should be away from where children play. It’s also a good idea to make sure that the area is locked and that any firearms that might be in the room are put up and away from anyone who might make it into the room and is securely locked away. The more preventative measures a gun owner can incorporate into their cleaning room the better.

Step Two: Clean Your Hands & Put On Gloves

The next step in cleaning your gun is to thoroughly wash your hands and then place black nitrile gloves on. This will prevent any of your skin’s natural oils from harming the inner and outer parts of your firearm. Good gloves will also prevent your skin from absorbing any of the solvents that you might be used for cleaning your gun.

Step Three: Unload Your Gun

The next thing that’s extremely important is to unload the gun. As we always recommend, even if you think that the weapon is empty, you should still treat it as if it were loaded. This means making sure that the weapon is pointed away from you and that you go through the steps to unload it. And remember, it’s never wrong to double or triple-check that you’ve unloaded your weapon. It’s not being compulsive, it’s being safe.

Step Four: Put Down Your Gun Matt & Use Your Bore Snake

The next step is to place down your gun mat to protect the table or workbench from any of the solvents that you might be using. At this stage, you can also use a bore snake to remove some of your weapon’s gunk before you break out your cleaning rods. That’s not necessary, but it is something a lot of gun owners like to do before disassembling and cleaning their weapons.

Step Five: Secure & Disassemble The Gun

The next step is to disassemble the weapon according to the gun’s manual. For long guns, some people like to place the weapon in a gun cleaning vise to keep it secure. For handguns, that’s not usually something that has to be done. Once the gun is disassembled properly, then you can begin cleaning.

Step Six: Clean The Gun

Now’s the step where the cleaning rods are assembled and the correct size brushes are chosen for cleaning the weapon. Use these cleaning brushes with the appropriate gun cleaning solvent—making sure to keep the recommendations of the gun manufacturer in mind while doing so. Usually, the cleaning rods are pulled through approximately 5-10 times. Notice that we said pull and not push. Cleaning rods should always be pulled through the weapon and never pushed through it.

If the cleaning patches are pulled through the gun and they’re still dark, then you should change them and pull them through as necessary until they come out white. Fortunately, cleaning patches are relatively inexpensive, so if you have to use 10 or 15 of them for a cleaning job, it should be no big deal.

Step Seven: Remove The Solvents

Once the gun has been cleaned, it’s time to remove any remaining solvents that might still be on the weapon. This can be done by using dry cleaning patches and the gun mop attachment. Make sure all solvent is removed before moving on to the next step.

Step Eight: Lubricate The Gun

Using a quality gun lubricate, make sure to properly lubricate the weapon. This will help to keep everything working smoothly and prevent dust from accumulating on the gun.

Step Nine: Clean The Gun’s Exterior

Once the gun has been lubricated, the outside of the gun can be cleaned. This is also a good time to check for signs of corrosion and to make sure all of the mechanics of the weapon is functioning normally.

Step 10: Wash Your Hands And Assemble Your Weapon

Wash your hands and add a little bit of lubricant to them. You can now reassemble the weapon and make sure that the firearm is properly functioning before putting it away. For best results, make sure to regularly clean your weapon to keep it in good shape.
