recommendations for Cleaning kits and Chamber flags
I've looked for myself, but maybe you guys have links to some different stuff out there. Just looking for a variety of stuff to look at. Link me to what you guys are using out there.
I don't know if they sell it, but the cleaning kit that came with my SR25 is damn nice. Comes in a padded zippered case that holds all the stuff. By far the nicest one I've ever seen or owned. I paid the extra to get the bolt repair parts so they came in it too. Normally they come with a Dewey rod but mine came with a carbon fiber Tipton. Which was great actually, because in the shop I use mostly Dewey stuff and didn't have one of those. Love the Dewey stuff. They make a rod for everything from a .22 pistol to the M2. Handles spin on ball bearings. Their jags are the best and I've developed a liking for their Parker Hale jags now.
For a basic field cleaning kit, I have the usual stuff and use Dewey parts but I use a patch holder and not a jag. That's because I JB weld a Dewey adapter to a 1/4" nylon coated steel cable cut to length with a .5" stripped on one end to fit the adapter; it'll be a perfect fit and it'll last (I put one in the KAC kit so it can be used without a rod if need be). It's like a high end Otis kit more or less. Which I have also. I have one for the M4 and two .50 kits. Those are nice field kits if you don't wanna make your own. I get 'em from surplus stores for a good price.
But for at home, just go to Dewey's site and get ready to spend more than you figured, because they cover it all. They sell some kits though that can save you a decent bit if you don't have the parts. Like the AR kits and pistol kits. But you'll still find other stuff you want, like Parker Hale jags and 7.62 AR chamber mops.

If you ever hunt/hike, or start shooting field matches it might be your very best bang for the $$. I've lent mine out more times than I can count from dropped gun barrel down, to stuck cases with more head separations than I every thought possible in matches.
Do not over clean until zero color comes out on the patches..
For home add to the suggestions (of rod, patches and Jag):
I got this idea from a class at TDI Ohio and bought a bunch of this "belting" and use it ALL my chambers. A pistol slide can close on it and hold it in place for storage. I think it is technically belting that can be used for conveyor systems of some kind, if it was called chamber flag material it would cost 100x more =)
Cannot go wrong with Dewey rods, parker hale jags, and Boretech cleaning chemicals. Also Lucas Extreme Duty Grease is good on the lugs and oil for the bore.

I've also got several Red Creedmoor Empty Chamber Indicators in my range bag, the curved indicators stay put real well but this isn't the only brand that does so.
