Description
There's something to be said for having every piece you need in one spot when it's time to clean a .22. This Allen Ruger Rimfire Cleaning Kit packs the essentials into a compact molded toolbox with a clear latching lid, so your brushes and jags aren't rattling loose in a drawer or scattered across the bench. It's built specifically for .22 caliber rimfire rifles and handguns, which means the components are sized right for the job instead of being a one-size-fits-all universal set.
What Comes in the Allen Ruger .22 Cleaning Kit
Open the box and you'll find stainless-steel cleaning rods, bronze-bristle brushes, solid brass jags, brass slotted tips, two sizes of cotton patches, and cotton swabs for the tight spots. The brass jags and bronze brushes are the workhorses here. Brass and bronze are softer than your barrel steel, so they scrub out powder and lead fouling without chewing up the bore or the delicate rifling that rimfire barrels are known for. The components use standard threads, so they'll thread onto a wide range of gear if you already own cleaning tools.
Why the Molded Case Earns Its Keep
The toolbox is the quiet hero of this kit. Small cleaning parts have a way of disappearing, and the molded tray keeps every jag, brush, and tip in its place so you can actually find them next time. It's compact enough to toss in a range bag for field cleaning and sturdy enough to live in the truck or the gun room.
The kit gives you both slotted tips and jags, and that's on purpose. A slotted tip is handy for soaking the bore with solvent and doing quick two-way passes, while a jag wraps the patch tight against the rifling for a more thorough push-through when you want the patch coming out clean. Between the two, plus the bronze brushes for stubborn buildup, you've got a full routine covered for keeping a .22 running smooth season after season.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Allen Ruger Rimfire Cleaning Kit fit?
This kit is built for .22 caliber rimfire firearms, covering both rifles and handguns chambered in .22. The brushes, jags, and slotted tips are all sized for the .22 bore. The components use standard threads, so they'll work with other common cleaning gear you might already have on hand.
What's the difference between the jag and the slotted tip in this kit?
The slotted tip holds a patch so you can push and pull it through the bore, which is great for soaking the barrel with solvent up front. The brass jag wraps the patch tight against the rifling and pushes it straight through in one pass, which does a better job of getting the patch to come out clean. Having both means you can soak, scrub, and finish with the right tool for each step.
Do I need to buy anything extra to use this cleaning kit?
You'll want a bottle of bore solvent and a little gun oil, since those aren't included in the box. Everything else you need to physically clean the bore and action is here, including the rod, brushes, jags, tips, and patches. Some folks also add a bore guide for their rimfire to protect the crown, but that's a personal preference.
Is the molded case durable enough for range use?
The molded toolbox has a clear lid that latches shut, so the small parts stay put when it's bouncing around in a range bag or truck. It's compact and light at just over a pound, which makes it easy to bring along for field cleaning. The tray keeps each brush and jag organized so nothing goes missing between trips.
