    OTIS makes some outstanding cleaning kits, has everything you need. I have a few of them laying around left over from deployments, and use them very frequently. They come in a very small portable pouch too.

    I say make you own kit. Most kits are overpriced and silly. I would get:

    1. .22 caliber rifle boresnake
    2. Tooth brush
    3. Wire brush
    4. Picks
    5. Q-tips
    6. Whatever solvent you like.
    7. Rem-oil bottle/spray can
    8. Bore light
    9. Sythetic safe gun scrub

    Add a chamber brush and you'll have everything you need. You really cant beat a bore snake, no way your hurting much of anything using one.
