GTN brings you a clean sweep of gun cleaning essentials.
Maintaining any rifle, shotgun or airgun is essential practice for any shooter. Poorly maintained fi rearms will accumulate excessive fouling and dirt within the barrel and receiver, which can not only clog up the rifling and affect your accuracy, but it can also interfere with the proper operation of the action and lead to potentially dangerous malfunctions.
Furthermore, some of the fouling and dirts are either corrosive themselves or capable of making the fi rearm prone to rusting and wear, and can therefore lead to irreversible damages overtime.
Bore snakes, cleaning jags, and gun cleaning brushes are all part of the essential kit used in gun care and often supplied in gun clean kits which provide all of the necessary equipment for the modern shooter keep their gun in optimum condition.
Some shooters are prone to forgetting all these benefits and treating gun cleaning as an optional rarity. Reminding them will not just make you a few pounds, it will also gain you their trust when they realise the benefits it brings in terms of accuracy and fi rearm longevity.
