While I wait for my AR to arrive I am thinking of constructive related things to do to pass the time. One of which getting the supplies together that I will need to properly clean and keep the rifle lubricated.
I know there are brush kits available of different kinds and some with more extensive varieties of pieces than others. I also don't know where to begin for a cleaner type fluid, and an oil. With regards to both, particularly the oil, I am concerned with getting a top of the line lubricant to put in there, even if it costs a little more. I have read some use grease instead too.
I have heard mentioned before guys using brake cleaner to clean the carbon deposits off the internals? Is this just something to do when you don't have the correct stuff or does it work well? I have a ton of that on hand as I use it working on cars all the time. Would be great to stock up a bit more and use it for both.
Would a kit like this do?
