Hey guys,

I read through the stickies on cleaning AR's, but I'm still overwhelmed with all the different choices and cleaning methodologies out there. Can any of you guys suggest a generic checklist on what supplies I would need for cleaning "a" rifle, be it an AR, a bolt gun, or, in my case, a 10/22? I just want to find out what I need before I start shooting so I don't have to rush into buying gimmicky cleaning products that don't actually work.
I understand that there is a degree of preference when it comes to these kinds of things, but I would definitely appreciate any suggestions if you have 'em (not trying to start a "best" war here).
Thanks in advance for any help.
