Thread: What do I need in a basic cleaning kit

I've bought a rifle (Yay!) but I haven't shot it yet as I need to get eye and ear pro among other things.

A mate suggested that I get the swiss army cleaning kit from gun shitty and a pull through with patches. as well as a bore guide. I have come across frog lube and thought i'd get it as I am a little bit of a hippy. what sort of cleaners and oils does everyone use?

do I need all of this stuff or would a pull through and patches with oil be ok. and then break out the toothbrushes for when i want to use the frog lube.

on a side note. what reasonably priced eye protection is everyone using at the range? don't want to cheap out on it so not keen on z87 stuff.

I also came across these which paired with some plugs would do the job ok I reckon? https://activesafety.co.nz/nz-safety...viper-earmuffs

a lot of questions I know. thanks in advance.
