??th generation "DAR" family with guns.
I use old tooth brushes, the usual cloth patches, with a rod and a loop or a jag, and plastic crown protector (bore guide).
I also use the nylon and brass bore brushes on the cleaning rod kits, always with a muzzle crown protector. It's a little plastic funnel sleeve thingy you set into the muzzle and guide the rod through, so you don't rub the rod on the muzzle, and butcher the crown. That will affect accuracy in a bad way.
I also use the bore snakes now, but modern ammo is not nearly as nasty as some of the old stuff was. When dad got old, I dug out his bespoke shotguns, and cleaned out from 20 to 120 years of lead fouling. The old Outer's nitro-solvent made a gigantic mess, so I grabbed the can of "Break Free" and all the lead, carbon, and crud just ran out the end of the barrels, and everything looked like new.
Get some of the little plastic gun brushes, and the plastic Harbor Freight brushes. Remove all the steel bristle brushes. You don't want to use those, trust me. Use the nylon brushes, on everything, and as a last resort go to brass bristles, unless you are cleaning out the bore, of the barrel, with a brass bore brush.
Bore snakes are great, but in a pinch I have taken para-cord, curtain cords, draw strings, or boot laces, and tied knots in them, and sprayed, something from Break Free, to brake cleaner to WD-40 into the barrel and pulled the knots through, and lubed with 10-W-30. After the solvent, "break free", I will use any number of gun oils, from Hoppes, Ballistol, Lucas, 3 in 1? M Pro, Wilson Tactical.
I really love that copper Glock grease. It is nothing more then Loc Tite C5-A copper antiseize lubricant, but it is good from -20 or -30 degrees up to 1800 degrees. It is THE EXACT same stuff Glock uses at their factory. I slathered that crap on Caterpillar engines, and Allied Signal APUs and I know what it is by the smell of it.
Tooth picks, cloth and cotton swabs are good too. Scotchbrite is also good for stubborn stuff on the exterior.
Be careful with older plastic grips. Maybe even take them off. I melted the grips on a Beretta 3032 with M Pro-7 solvent, and had to buy new grips. Beretta no longer has any 3032 grips in stock now, and it looks like they may have stopped making them, so check plastic parts in an inconspicuous area to see if the cleaner will attack it, and screw it up.
I also do NOT like Frog Lube. It gets waxy and makes a mess.
There are literally 1000s of gun cleaners, lubricants, and protectants, and combinations products, as well as 1000s of industrial, automotive, agricultural, and aviation solvents, lubes, & portectants that are probably better than most of the gun care stuff.
LPS3, or Boeshield, are good protectants. Ballistol is also good stuff. M Pro7's oil is okay. The solvent eats styrene.
Lucas Oil makes gun care products that are pretty good, but that Loc Tite C5-A is wonderful stuff, for long term storage.
Everyone has a favorite, and I don't have $50,000 to try out every product sold in a bottle, tube can, tub, or tin.
Mind the crowns on your muzzles and don't bugger them up with a cleaning rod. Bore snakes don't have that problem, (as much).
