Abstract
Abstract A cleaning kit for a gun made up of a tubular container adapted to fit over the muzzle end of a gun barrel, a closure intermediate the length of the inside of said container, a compression spring is supported on the closure and a washer is supported on the outer end of the spring engaging the muzzle of the gun. The container has a keyhold shaped slot in it that receives the sight of the gun, holding the container in place, and the gun cleaning rod is attached to the closure and extends almost entirely through the gun to its breech so that it acts as a safety device preventing the gun from being loaded when the cleaning device is in position.
