New gun owner visual guide

Visual gunowners guide. For people with short attention spans that only look at pretty pictures. 

This is a follow up component to my earlier new gun owners guide.

This is to showcase what a new gun owner needs at the minimum.

  1. Overall picture, all a fresh new gun owner needs. 
  2. Hearing protection, and eye protection. Howard leight, and pyramex eye protection. (I actually keep mine in the car as I drive everywhere, and I never want to forget them. This is just my backup pair I keep in the house) The howard leights are expensive now and there are a lot better and cheaper models on the market but roughly $100, eye protection $25. 
  3. Trigger lock, not necessary for transport but meets the Non-restricted requirements for storage at home. I do recommend a security cabinet but this is just the minimum required. $16
  4. Cleaning kit (Proshot universal cleaning kit $80) 
  5. Cleaning kit, CLP, rods, brushes, patches, everything a new gunowner needs.)
  6. Staple Gun, extra staples (Arrow Light duty staple gun $25, JT21 staples $7
  7. Shoot n See targets (50 targets/$50)
  8. Ruger 10/22 with case. (Ruger 10/22 M1 carbine edition, $640, Ruger flagstaff 10/22 case $65)
  9. Ruger 10/22 with case. 
  10. Box of 22lr ammo (Blazer 525 pack $48)
  11. Toolbox, (range bag) carries my registration papers, range membership, ammo, and odds and ends. (Mastercraft toolbox $80) 

Total Cost: $1136 for everything in the picture. Or $496 for everything else that wasn’t the gun as you can choose your own.

Did you order the kit from the States or get the whole thing off GP?

Which kit? But i bought the cleaning kit from my local gun store 9 years ago.

Or if talking about the 10/22 this is the ruger talos m1 carbine edition i bought about 5 years ago from prophet river.

Oh sorry. I meant for the Ruger. The stock to “convert” it I guess. Immediately hopped on Google and found a place in the US that sells them.
