Snake, cleaning rod with brass brush, cloth patches. Rem oil. Hoppes 9 . Q tips. White lithium grease.
You mean to tell me that none of you rednecks use a can of break cleaner and WD 40???
J/K............lol

Brake cleaner, cotton patches, with Dewey cleaning rods,and attach a Patch Hog Patch Catcher to the end of the barrel to catch the patches and cleaning solvent. Continue the cleaning process until there is no grey color of powder residue on the cotton cleaning patch. Then use a very light oil on a patch to put a very light amount on the patch to protect the barrel. The light oil will not cause as much hydraulics in the barrel when firing the gun after a through cleaning of your gun/guns.
We do not like WD 40, as the propellant used to make the fluid spray is a diesel oil based propellant, which leaves the barrel smelling like a diesel oil engine. The diesel oil is thick type contained in the oil and sometimes causes the hydraulic pressure to rise in the barrel. Just spray some on your hand and feel it between your fingers and then smell them you can detect it immediately. For guys who want everything to be scent free will not want to use on WD 40 on their firearms.
To help protect and extend the barrel life, use a very light machine oils that actually penetrate into the metal to help seal and keep residue out of the microscopic distortions in the barrel that the naked eye can not see nor detect that are present in all the barrels.
just a simple suggestion to strongly consider...

I've got a big box full of random parts from a bunch of cheap cleaning kits I've accumulated through the years. I probably use about 1/10 of it. Use lots of cut up tshirt pieces, and of course Qtips.
A buddy gave me one of the Otis multi caliber cleaning kits but I haven't used it yet. Similar to this:

Lots of these, regular q-tips, and mostly Hornady One Shot.
We are not a fan of bore snakes, we have seen to many people at the ranges bring them out and first thing they do is drop it on the ground, concrete, or whatever surface the firing line is composed of. Had a guy
come over and and said here use this bore snake it's great, politely declined, 3 times. We were trying to
be considerate of his feelings however he finally said in an agitated voice just used it it really works.
We replied, Thanks but no Thanks, he asked why and we asked him to bring his gun over and demo the
the cleaning bore snake, which he did promptly.
He dropped the bore snake on the ground, and we stopped him and asked if putting the snake on the ground was supposed to help collect the dirt, grime and dust particles off the ground to help, Grind the powder residue out of the barrel and help put extra rifling in his barrel. We see this all the time at the ranges
nice guns just being totally abused.
Sometimes, when someone says they appreciate it but no Thanks, they have a very good reason to decline there invitation.
