What kind of cleaner does hickok45 use?
Ballistol
Thank you Hickock45. I have used Hoppe’s #9 solvent and oil to clean my firearms for over 30+ years. After watching Hickock45’s videos on youtube I decided to give Ballistol a try and man I’m glad I did.
How often should I clean my AR-15?
A good rule of thumb is to clean your firearm after around 250 rounds, though you’ll want to keep an eye on debris build-up. The more build-up, the more risk of wear and corrosion. If you notice build-up happening, you may want to clean your firearm more frequently.
What tools do I need to clean my AR-15?
To build your own AR-15 cleaning kit, you will need all of the following items:
- CLP (or another cleaning solvent and lubricant)
- Bore Brush.
- Chamber Brush.
- Cleaning Rod.
- Cleaning Patches.
- Bore Snake.
- Nylon Brush.
- Cat M4 scraper.
Will Ballistol remove rust?
When it comes to fighting corrosion, you can count on Ballistol. From cleaning chrome to removing rust, Ballistol goes the extra mile in cleaning and protecting the metal items you depend on.
Should I oil the inside of my gun barrel?
Do not lubricate the bore using gun oil! For long term storage only, the bore can be treated with a heavier lubricant such as Barricade (or equivalent). This must be removed by cleaning the barrel prior to shooting the firearm!
Should you oil a new rifle before shooting?
Don’t douse it down, because the lube only needs to be exactly at the contact points to be perfectly effective for our shooting needs. I still put a little oil over the top of the new gun’s slide, just to be safe. Just rack the slide, dry-fire or double-action stroke a revolver.

How often should I clean my gun?
Clean Your Oft-Used Guns After Every Use As a general rule, it’s a good idea to clean your gun after every trip to the shooting range. Defensive firearms that don’t get used very frequently should also be cleaned on occasion. Try to give them a deep clean and inspection about once a month.
