Making sure a gun is clean and ready to shoot is important. A barrel snake is a quick and easy way to clean a rifle. The cleaning solution is applied to the first part of the rope and special brushes will scrub the barrel clean of debris. As the rope is pulled, the cleaning cloth wipes the area and lubricant can be applied. All of this can be accomplished in just a single pull. The barrel snake is washable and reusable for hundreds of times.
This flashlight is mounted on the top of the gun. It is ideal for handguns of several types but can also be used for most rifles and shotguns with accessory rails. The bright LED light shines with 300 lumens which can be kept steady or set to strobe. It has a quick release feature for those who need to remove the light with speed. It is very sturdy with aircraft-grade aluminum construction.
Cleaning a gun goes best when there is a place to hold it and all the cleaning essentials. This mat will help to protect the table or workbench. The pad has a rubber backing to help keep the mat from slipping on the work surface. It is well made with a stitched border and polyester top.
This will be of interest for those who have concealed carry licenses. The belly band holster is compatible with many common handguns. It comes with a left or right draw option so all users are covered. It has a wide and comfortable neoprene band that will fit waist sizes up to 44 inches. The band can be worn inside the waistband or outside depending on the users choice. It can even be used as a shoulder harness. There is a hard plastic trigger guard and a metal retention strap to increase the safety.
There are three sizes for this belly band holster making a great fit for men or for women. It is compatible with most firearms, from micro, subcompact, compact and full sized. It has a retention strap that helps with a smooth draw. It can be worn both inside and outside the waistband and can be for right or left handed draw.

So, for the next team building exercise, consider a day enjoying firearm training. This will surely be a memorable exploration and something to talk about for years to come.
