ed5hed Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 starting to put together a maintenance box, I'm interested to know what everyone else has in theres? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Oil, boresnake, multiple soft bristled brushes and bronze brushes with mops and rods. A roll of 2" wide patch cloth that can be cut to suit. A really fine flat head screwdriver for hoking at bits that shouldn't be hoked at. A small tub of gun grease and a small towel to lay stripped components on. Seems to do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kes Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Mine weighs a ton so I couldnt list them all but I have 5 different Stanley/craft knives in there and everything for limited woodwork, plumbing/electrical stuff and I also have a small bladed screwdriver for poking in blocked orifices (or is it orifi).

kent Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) Something to undo and tighten everything fixings wise. Light oil spray, bolt grease and copper slip if you have a moddy. Chamy leather for drying and lens wipes for scope. On cleaning kit Bore guide to suit one piece rod (parker hale type I piece very recomended) pre cut parches, nylon, bronze brushes, jag American to UK adapter. Solvent like butches bore shine and a proper copper remover like sweets. Set of safety specs and disposable gloves (solvents can be absorbed by the skin and make a right mess of you liver etc). A work station rest either bought or made and a section of waterproof cloth (cheapo table cloth cut up is fine) and a roll of absorbent wipes. If you have an oiled walnut stock add some conditioning oil Add a proper bolt / race way and chamber cleaning tool as and when, before then make do with home made and cloths Sure there is more stuff you will need over time, though this will get you through mostly Edited September 22, 2014 by kent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
