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.
- Overall picture, all a fresh new gun owner needs.
- 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.
- 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
- Cleaning kit (Proshot universal cleaning kit $80)
- Cleaning kit, CLP, rods, brushes, patches, everything a new gunowner needs.)
- Staple Gun, extra staples (Arrow Light duty staple gun $25, JT21 staples $7
- Shoot n See targets (50 targets/$50)
- Ruger 10/22 with case. (Ruger 10/22 M1 carbine edition, $640, Ruger flagstaff 10/22 case $65)
- Ruger 10/22 with case.
- Box of 22lr ammo (Blazer 525 pack $48)
- 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.

IMO bore snakes and a can of clp is better, especially for beginners. Less chance of screwing up the crown with the steel cleaning rods
