Ideal Christmas Gifts for Your Favorite Firearm Enthusiast

Do you have someone on your Christmas gift list that is a firearms enthusiast? Believe it or not, one of the easiest people to buy Christmas presents for is a gun owner. Here is a list of very reasonably priced gifts that are sure to please the firearms aficionado in your life.

Every gun owner just loves to clean his/her firearms. Always after a day at the range, hunting, or just out plinking you will soon find them hard at work, cleaning the handgun, rifle, or shotgun used that day. To assist them, consider cleaning supplies as an ideal Christmas gift. Cleaning patches come in a variety of sizes, and are very reasonably priced. Check Order Tree.com for many choices. If you don't know what size to get, go for the shotgun size patches. These are the largest, and can easily be cut down to the proper size, if your gun owner needs a smaller size.

In addition to cleaning patches, a good cleaning solvent is a necessity when cleaning a firearm. I recommend Hoppe's Famous No. 9™ solvent. A 5 ounce bottle, which lasts a long time, is only $5.95 at Hoppes.com. This product has been around since 1903, and is almost universally accepted by gun owners everywhere as the best cleaning solvent available. Makes a great Christmas gift, and will be used year round.

Every gun owner will at some point need to take his/her firearm apart, either for a deep cleaning or the replace a worn out part of two. No gun owner wants to distort a finely machined screw head on a gun. For a mere $17.77, you can get a set of gunsmith grade screwdrivers at Shoot n Hunt.com. Any gun owner will be delighted to receive this set of tools specifically designed for gun repair. Most shooters will consider this an ideal Christmas present.

Another inexpensive fun Christmas gift is the Glock Gunsmith's Bench Mat. For only $7.56 you can find this 10 ¾ X 17 inch foam mat. Even though it is made by Glock, and shows parts diagrams of the Glock pistols, it will make a great addition to the gun owner. This is really like a big mouse pad suitable for use when cleaning or stripping a firearm. Available at Amazon.com.

Finally, your firearm enthusiast will be overjoyed to receive a bore light. This nifty device is like a small flashlight that shines around a corner. You put the bent end into the beach end of the barrel, and then when the bright light is on, you look in the barrel from the muzzle end. The light allows you to see the condition of the barrel of any gun. You can tell if it is clean, and is also used to examine the condition of a gun prior to purchase. A serious firearm collector will always have a bore light with him at any gun show or gun shop. For a paltry $6.97, you can order a bore light at Sportsmans Guide.com.

Most of the above items can also be found in major sporting goods stores as well. Make sure you shop around for the best prices, if you choose not to shop online.

If you have a firearm owner on your Christmas shopping list, I hope your job just became a lot easier.
