I'm only speaking from a few months experience so I'm sure someone can give you a more complete answer, but I have used This Otis kit and it works fine for cleaning my handguns and my .22 rifle. This video shows you how to use it on a bolt action.
I'm mostly just commenting to tell you that you picked a really nice first rifle.
Those a great guns.
There’s a ton of information on cleaning rifles and pistols online. I suggest getting an OTIS cleaning kit, and going from there.
Here’s a decent start
It’s going to give you the bare essentials for cleaning multiple calibers.
Here is a link to the River Mini14 cleaning
Here is a video on how to clean the Tokarev.
Enjoy!
I was recently given this as a gift and really like it: http://www.amazon.com/Otis-Tactical-Cleaning-System-Brushes/dp/B0000C52A5
I've been fond of Otis cleaning kits. It's a compact snake, brush and patch kit. They sell it in different configurations, but they have a few universal ones with a mixture of everything.
Hoppe's synthetic blend, the smell is almost non existent and it is non-toxic.
bronze 30 cal brush
Use a wire instead of a rod...., or a boresnake.
the bolt... read your manual, generally very very light oiling, like one drop goes a long way.
Edit - derps.
Fuck the rod-based cleaning kits. They break easily and take up too much space. Get one of these, they're outstanding.
Looks great! What is the barrel length and gas system length you used? Any other specs you care to show off?
As for critiques, if you have the space and cash get a tipton single piece gun rod or something of the like (brass screw togethers can become marred after some use resulting in bulges where the rods connect potentially interfering with the rifling) I've had my tipton rod for years with no issues but have gone through 2 sets of brass rods and one set of aluminum ones (they work pretty great for pistols though) and again thats after a lot of use and probably some abuse
Or an Otis system they also make an all inclusive set which includes a travel kit with it definitely pricey but something to look into, combining that with a single piece rod has been the main stay for my cleaning needs and takes care of all my firearms and calibers
Also a bore snake helps a great deal and works well but is caliber specific
As for the rifle it looks awesome!
This is all you need.
Works more multiple calibers as well.
Handguards are mostly personal preference. What are you mostly using your AR for?
Buy this Otis kit. It will clean everything you own. They aren't overkill for anything; they're a great cleaning kit.
Bore snakes are nice for a quick wipe but shouldn't be used for a long time because they collect pieces of what they clean out and can scratch the chamber/bore.
I use this kit from Otis for cleaning the bore: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000C52A5/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It uses a flexible cable that you can use to pull brushes and patches through the bore, only from chamber to crown. The cable is plastic coated and should do no damage.
It takes me a lot of work to get clean patches unless I first use a larger brush to clean the chamber before cleaning the bore. To clean the chamber, I use the .38 brush from the Otis kit attached to the Pro-Shot Flexible Chamber Cleaning Tool, https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B008P8F13U/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
With this tool, you can work the cleaner-soaked brush into the chamber while rotating a few turns. This really speeds things up, and I do not need to worry about stuck cases from a dirty chamber.
Here is a video from Ruger on cleaning the Mini 14, so you can see the technique they recommend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJ_XSF47s9s
(They make no mention of using a chamber brush.)
Something like this for the 700 and this for the '94?
Thanks man.
Could you use something like this to clean from breach to muzzle? http://www.amazon.com/Otis-Tactical-Cleaning-System-Brushes/dp/B0000C52A5
I like to use the Otis pull through cleaning kit. I normally use hoppes 9 after a range visit and depending on how much I shoot a firearm I occasionally soak it in Wipe out
I pretty much never use a brush any more with this cleaning method, it's easier and quicker I find than scrubbing with a rod.
If you're worried, you can get something like this : https://www.amazon.com/Otis-Tactical-Cleaning-System-Brushes/dp/B0000C52A5
I have one that I can clean every rifle and pistol I own. They easily attach to a strap or molle web platform. As others have pointed out, unless you're in the mud or water (or own a kimber or something that rusts super easy) you shouldn't need to clean, but it's nice to have the ability.
