    Same here only a tetra cleaning rod. Just got an otis cable type for pistols. Not sure if I like it yet, am afraid of getting a patch stuck.

    I saw someone using that on a youtube video recently. It looks pretty interesting but i think the rod works fine.

    I was thinking about trying ballistol once I get my ar15 kit and a lower to assemble it.

    You have to clean them?
    Just kidding, you know they're never clean enough for an old Jarhead.
    CLP, Strike Hold, USGI bore cleaner, OTIS cable cleaning kit and lots of OD double ended brushes.

    Mostly the same here, Hoppes #9 & gun wipes, and I like to use BoreSnake Venom to finish the inside of the barrels... tends to get just a bit more out after the Hoppe's. Also a Lucas Gun Oil user here, just a real light coating on the barrels and any slide contact points. It's synthetic, and seems OK to me, but it's all I've used since day 1 (and I still have a lot left in my current bottle). I can't say it's any better or worse than other products out there.
