Firearms may be the definition of "durable goods": With proper maintenance, not only do they hold (even gain) value, they can remain operable for generations to come. The key to proper maintenance is proper cleaning. This may sound intimidating, but don't worry—it's actually quite easy once you get the hang of it. In this video, we present our easy, step-by-step process for keeping your gun as good as new for years to come.

Knowing the basics of gun safety is a reward in and of itself, but thanks to the NRA Publications Mentor Initiative, it can also be a fun way to build a deeper connection with your friend or loved one!Click here to find out more
