Kleen-Bore Tactical Kit - Quartermaster

Guns Magazine, August, 2002 by Jim Gardner

If you've been using "I don't have the right gear" as your excuse for not keeping your firearms clean and well maintained, then you are plum out of luck. Kleen-Bore's new Tactical Cleaning Kit contains everything you could possibly need to clean all of the most common handguns, rifles and shotguns in one compact and tidy package.

Zipped closed, the ballistic nylon carrying case measures a mere 7.25x9.5 inches. The case itself is very nicely constructed and features a clear pocket on the outside for your business card or I.D. Inside, you'll find four elasticized nylon pockets and five mesh pockets that make it simple to retrieve the particular component you require at the time.

Given the compact dimensions of the case, it's a bit of a surprise to find that the contents consist of 23 -- count 'em, 23 separate tools and supplies to put your guns back into a duty-ready state of cleanliness. Here's what you'll find inside:

Bare bushes: calibers .22, .30, .38, .40/.41 and 12 gauge

Non-marring brass jags: calibers .22/.25, .270/32, .38 and .40

Five-section cleaning rod with muzzle protector and pivoting handle

Two packages of patches

Shotgun adapter and patch loop

"M-16 tooth brush"

Two ounce bottle of No. 10 copper solvent

One half ounce battle of TW25B lubricant/preservative

Silicone cloth

Chamber plug

Cleaning instructions

While obviously marketed towards the law enforcement community, this is an ideal all-in-one cleaning kit for the new firearms owner as well as a perfect take-along kit for the hunting camp. If you've ever plugged the muzzle of your rifle with mud or snow and then realized you didn't have a stout cleaning rod back at camp, then you know how valuable this kit can he.

Retail price of the Kleen-Bore Tactical cleaning kit is $45.
