Hoppes KIT: Versatile Gun Cleaning for Rifles & Shotguns

Keeping your firearms clean and reliable is non-negotiable whether you’re preparing for a range day, maintaining a home-defense rifle, or teaching safe handling practices to a new shooter. A compact, well-chosen cleaning kit saves time, reduces wear, and keeps firearms functioning exactly as they were designed to.

HOPPES DELUXE MULTI CALIBER CLEANING KIT is built to cover the most common platforms shooters carry and shoot.

The kit includes Hoppe’s No.9 solvent, lubricating oil, patches, a three-piece brass rod, four slotted ends, and five phosphor bronze brushes sized to service .22 and .30 caliber rifles, .38 caliber handguns, and 12 and 20 gauge shotguns. It also supplies rifle, shotgun, and handgun adapters, a silicone cleaning cloth, and the Hoppe’s Guide to Gun Care booklet — everything you need to perform basic to intermediate maintenance across multiple platforms. Priced at $56.69, this kit is positioned as a dependable, all-in-one solution for shooters who want a single kit to serve pistols, rifles, and shotguns. Shop this product

What’s in the kit and why it matters

The contents map directly to the tasks you perform when cleaning firearms. Hoppe’s No.9 solvent is a time-tested bore cleaner that breaks down powder residue and copper fouling. The included lubricating oil protects metal surfaces from corrosion and helps maintain smooth mechanical operation.

The three-piece brass rod gives you reach for longer rifles while remaining gentle on bores (brass is less likely to score the rifling than steel). The four slotted ends accept patches for final swabbing, and the five phosphor bronze brushes are sized to match .22 and .30 rifle bores, .38 handguns, and shotguns in 12 and 20 gauge. The adapters let you switch between rifle, shotgun, and handgun configurations without needing a separate rod for each platform.

Tools matched to real-world calibers

Having brushes and fittings that match .22 and .30 caliber rifles and .38 handguns means you can maintain both rimfire and centerfire rifles, as well as common service revolver calibers. For smaller calibers like .22, a softer, properly sized brush prevents over-agitation while still loosening fouling. For .30 calibers (including popular cartridges like .308 Winchester and .30-06), a robust bronze brush and a full-length rod section let you clear copper and carbon deposits more efficiently. Shotgun maintenance for 12 and 20 gauge is handled by the included adapters and appropriately sized brushes to remove hard-packed wad residue and lead buildup.

How to use the kit: a practical workflow

We recommend a straightforward, repeatable process that minimizes risk and maximizes effectiveness. Work in a well-ventilated area, ensure the firearm is unloaded, and follow these steps:

1) Inspect and prepare

Visually and physically confirm the chamber and magazine are empty. Remove loose debris and take note of any unusually heavy fouling or damage before starting.

2) Apply solvent and brush

Attach the appropriate phosphor bronze brush to the brass rod, apply Hoppe’s No.9 solvent to the brush or a patch, and run it through the bore from chamber to muzzle (for break-open firearms and shotguns, adapt your technique accordingly). For rifles in .22 and .30 calibers or .38 handguns, multiple passes with solvent and brushing will loosen stubborn fouling.

3) Patch until clean

Use the slotted ends and patches to swab the bore until patches come out clean. The kit’s patches are sized to handle both rifle and handgun applications; swap to the shotgun adapter and larger patches for 12 and 20 gauge barrels.

4) Lubricate and protect

Finish with a light application of the lubricating oil to protect metal surfaces and moving parts. Use the silicone cleaning cloth included in the kit to wipe down external surfaces — it’s a simple way to keep corrosion at bay without over-lubricating controls or sights.

Why the Hoppes name still matters

Hoppes has been a recognizable name in gun care for decades. The inclusion of Hoppe’s No.9 solvent and the Guide to Gun Care booklet makes this kit particularly valuable for shooters who want both proven chemistry and straightforward guidance. The model listing as Various means Hoppes assembles these kits for broad compatibility across platforms; it’s a practical choice for someone who owns a mix of handguns, rifles, and shotguns.

For tactical-minded shooters, the brass rod and phosphor bronze brushes provide a safe balance between effective cleaning and protecting bore integrity. For family and range use, the compact nature of the kit and the clear guidance in the booklet make routine maintenance approachable for new shooters.
