I use half vinegar,water and a tablespoon of dish soap. I use mine for cleaning ammo brass. After cleaning I put the brass in water with baking soda ,then rinse with clean water. Works great.

Otis makes a very nice cleaning kit. They come and a nylon pouch about the size of a softball. There are a lot of cleaning kits on amazon that will handle handgun and rifle calibres. It is most likely that the two or more weapons you husband has are not the same calibre. So you would want to get one that will clean more than one weapon. Winchester make a real nice cleaning kit but i don't know if it is sold here on Amazon. Go to the search bar and type in gun cleaning kits. Hope this helps.

All guns should be cleaned from the chamber end when possible. You risk damaging the bore by cleaning from that end. The Wheeler tool is an excellent tool for the AR style rifle.

You can use it for a hand gun. The brushes may not be best for it however. The cleaning solution and oil will work just fine

Never used it on a handgun. Keep my handguns dry for storage, lube them for shooting. Will not dramatically damage the handgun to fire it a few times without lube when necessary,

I've read that stainless steel shot is the best for cleaning coins, but gun enthusiasts clean their brass cartridges with corn cob media mixed with a little brass polishing liquid mixed in-------you could probably use a similar method for cleaning silver and gold coins if you mixed in polish that is made for cleaning silver. The stainless shot would probably be better for coins that are really heavily soiled.

Yep, sure will, but metal parts only and after they are removed from the firearm. Make sure to use the solution made for gun parts only and not the brass solution as it can damage certain parts. It can clean just about any metal part that will fit into the basket, just be careful with aluminum as it can turn black. Use the appropriate cleaner only (Lyman or Hornady same things) and stay away from household cleansers like Lemishine for gun parts as it can cause discoloration and leeching.

Ronald, this is a nice kit that will clean any gun from 22 to 45 caliber! It also includes a brass brush for 12 gauge cleaning as well. So far, I am happy with it. You will however want to buy additional cleaner, gun oil, and patches sometime down the road... good luck!

You can clean a small pistol, and you can also clean gun parts, be it pistol, rifle ,or shotgun parts, it is not all that big, but will get small jobs done.

I use the Hornady cleaner, I believe it does both, because my guns have a combo of stainless and blued. I looked at the label, and it says safe for all metals.

Without buying an actual cleaning kit, my best advice would be to gently wipe it off with a micro fiber towel or cloth. All the same, I'd buy either a cleaning kit which will have everything you need, or gun oil. A small drop or two every 4-6 inches on both sides of the blade will help keep oxidation to a minimum. It just needs a small coat of oil every once in while. Nothing drastic.

Yes, I have used on all parts for my Glock Pistols (3), AR-15 rifle, and AR-10 rifle. The solution that I use is the Hornady Lock n' Load Sonic Cleaner Solution that is specifically for gun parts.

It cleans, lubercates, and protects. It worked really well on my Remington 870. I don't about pistols. You should read this, it should help you out-http://glocktalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1319146

Warm water, a little dish soap, and elbow grease - small amounts of soap go a long way. Wring and let dry. It helps to wash these at least every few gun cleans, instead of waiting to let it get completely caked and greasy.

Michael, I understand the chamber lube is designed for springer use. However, I don't see any harm in using it on an air piston rifle for barrel cleaning and pellet lubrication (if you choose to do this). To initially clean a barrel, I use a 1/8" wooden dowel rod for my .177" barrel. Over the tip I place small pieces of cotton padding (Like women use for make-up removal. I get ~80 per pack at the local dollar store and cut each patch into a bunch of smaller pieces) to make a snug but not too tight fit. I run those through the barrel (starting where you load the pellet) until they come out pretty clean. Then, I put a drop or so of chamber lube oil down the barrel and continue running cotton patches through it. A bunch of them. I keep checking the barrel until it is absolutely clean. Spotless clean with no junk residue on the white cotton patches. Once the barrel is clean, consider cleaning and lubricating the pellets. I didn't at first and after ~ 75 shots the barrel was pretty dirty. So, I cleaned it again. Spotless. And, I washed the pellets. Put 250 or 500 in a plastic cup with hot washer and dishwashing liquid soap. Swish the soap around some, and pour the pellets into a strainer (another find at the local dollar store), rinse well, and dry. To dry, I leave mine in the strainer, place in direct sunlight for a few hours to dry ... shifting the pellets around several times to ensure all the water is drained from the pellets, and put the pellets into a small plastic container (or back into the original container). On the inside of the top of lid, I put two drops of the chamber lube oil, close the lid and roll the pellets around inside the container. Done. Shoot. Enjoy. No dieseling. Barrel stays clean and very lightly lubricated. Don't know that this improves accuracy (I'm still working on breaking in the gun), but it sure keeps the fingers and barrel clean. Hope this helps. ...
