New gun owner visual guide

[u/chillyrabbit]

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.

Tbh I didn’t even think about it, you make a very good point. Now I’m going to have to do some googling lol

Oh wow, yeah I’ve noticed mine is dirty but the bore seemed pretty clean afterwards so I didn’t really worry about it. As it is I don’t clean my guns much (with the exception of shooting corrosive of course)
