    Hey guys,
    I'm currently looking to know the what to do and not to do for cleaning firearms.

    Cheers, Matt.

    Any kit that does shotguns and handguns will do. They're usually separate though so you need a rod for shotgun and one for handguns with the jags for each calibre. You do not need to spend a pile of money. $16.99 isn't a pile of money. The Outers 28pc Universal Wood Gun Cleaning Box at Crappy Tire is ridiculous at $35. You'd be paying for the nice wooden box.
    For patches, go to a discount fabric shop like Fabricland and buy a yard or 2 of remnant flannelette(winter sheets/pajama material) and cut it into 2 x 4 inch pieces for .30 cal/9mm/12ga. About 1 x 1 for .22. Costs less than $10 for hundreds of patches vs the $3 to $5 or more per 100 for brand name patches. Wouldn't ever consider buying this kind of stuff on-line. Shipping will just add to the cost.

    What about the oil that cleans and lubricates at the same time? Is that good or should I buy a cleaner and a lubricant?

    Cleans Lubricates and Protects - that might sound like CLP, huh?

    I have a soft spot for the Hoppes line of oils and lubricants. But Remington's line is just as good. Always replace the cloth patch when it stops cleaning, or you think it is just smearing the dirt more evenly.

    The answer to the question about cleaning is, yes. It matters less what you clean with, but that you are cleaning. After a while, you will learn what works better, and what nuances you can follow. That, and I always store my cleaned guns muzzle down in cloth sleeves. No oil seepage into the wood, and the sleeves keep the stock kisses to a minimum.
