iunio Universal Gun Cleaning Kit with Mat & Case - Full Brass Jags, Rods & Adapters for Rifle, Shotgun, Handgun, Pistol - Perfect for Hunting, Shooting & Firearm Maintenance - Fits All Calibers & Gun Types

I tried out the Iunio Premium Gun Cleaning Kit (Kit) after a duck hunting trip. I'm using a Browning A-5 Stalker. I don't like to let the sun go down on a dirty gun, so I typically clean my guns immediately after use. But, for fun, I used my A-5 for about 3 days before cleaning, so it would be extra dirty for my review. Typically, I also use a foam bore cleaner to prep my barrels, but not in this case.My initial concern was that the provided solvent and oil bottles would leak. So, I filled them up and let them sit in the case for a few days prior to actually using the case. Not a drop leaked out of either. Secondly, I was concerned about some reviews that said their rods bent. It wasn't clear that they were talking about the brass rods in the kit, or the plastic rods in an earlier version of the Kit. Similar comments were made about the jags breaking, however, it is pretty obvious that in those cases they were talking about the earlier, plastic jags and not the brass jags in this Kit. I always look at the worst reviews on any product to see if there is a consistent problem. Those were the only 2 comments that caused me to stop and take notice. Otherwise, the comments are typically going to be from people that don't know what they are doing or are taking personal issues out on a product. Sure, you can bend one of these rods, if your stupid or you want to bend one. However, here is my 50+ year observation from cleaning guns, and I have 10 long-guns and 8 hand-guns. If you can't push a wire brush through a barrel and pull it back and forth while inside the barrel, you're using too much brush. The same can be said about swabs. You're not trying to bore out an automotive cylinder. Pushing too much of anything through a barrel will result in a fail. That's just the way life is.I like the copious amounts of stick swabs. One thing that I do that I've not found anyone else doing, is using Johnson's Floor Wax on non-friction applications where a coating is wanted. Why? Because it won't collect junk on the surface like oil or grease will. I've used it for years on wood working and shop tools to prevent rust without collecting sawdust and other bits floating around in the air. In this case, I use it to coat the surfaces between my chokes and the barrel. The stick swabs came in really handy for that. On one of my handguns, I had a tiny spot under a hammer that always looked like it wanted to rust. Oil didn't stop it. One application of the wax into the tight spot next to the grip and I've not had any more problems.I've always used pieces torn from T-Shirts to swab out my shotgun barrels, as I did in this case. Three passes of the wire brush (back and forth, back and forth while going through) and three passes of the cotton swab and my barrel was as clean as it would have been using the solvent foam pre-soak. That's a win for me, because I have to be careful about getting strong solvents on my protective covering on the A-5 Stalker. What I did like about the provided pads was the mesh, non-cotton fabric. This allowed me to wipe down the outside of the gun without wasting a lot of oil in a saturated cotton pad. So, I'll mostly be using them for the outside surfaces of my gun.I'm "old school," so I've never had a gun cleaning kit like this one. I like the way everything is laid out. I couple of the pieces, jags and rod adapters, can get loose and float around a little inside of the case. Just be aware of this when you open up the case as something could fall out. But, that's not a big deal to me. Also, I leave a nickel or quarter inside the case for removing the chokes. I did not use the provided cotton swabs this time. Why? I forgot to and used my T-Shirt-old habits are hard to break! I do use rod swabs over and over by soaking in water and Dawn dishwashing detergent. After soaking a while, you can spray them off and they'll clean up pretty darn good. Having said that, there's an interesting insert inside of the case. "If you have any concerns or need any parts for your gun cleaning kit.....we'll send free replacements immediately." I'm not sure that covers disposable supplies, but yes, or no, that's a great guarantee.I don't see any reservations you should have about buying this Kit. I certainly don't have any.This kit has pretty much everything you could ever need to clean a firearm. Includes every popular caliber or gauge.However, the thinner pushrod snapped during use. I contacted the company and they sent me another one -- and spent $13.50 in postage to do so. Then they sent me a free gun cleaning mat too, in another Priority Mail package, a day later! I'm sure they lost money on this deal, but clearly want to make sure I was happy.The company really stands behind their product.Nice basic set. Had enough sizes that can clean my variety of calibers. Or make me feel better by watching carbon come out of the barrels while cleaning.Iunio thought of everything (and then some) needed for gun cleaning all in this universal kit. 9mm, 357 magnum, 38 special, 22 LR, 22 handgun, 410, 12 gauge, AR-15 got it covered ! Thanks Iunio we're pleased.We received the kit and the mat and cleaning swabs were missing. Customer service was great and sent them when I contacted them. Great company that works with you. Very pleased with the purchase.It has everything you could ever want for cleaning the rifle of your choice between .17 hmr and 50bmg to include all shotgun from 20 gauge to 10.It has bottles, (empty) for oil and or cleaning fluid.Very nice and organized, sturdy enough for what I need. Pretty much everything I need in one kit.
