The cheapest accessory that made the biggest difference

Mine will be a $15 bore snake. It sounds stupid, but being able to clean my rifle in two minutes instead of 20 minutes of rod and patches changed how often I maintain my guns. Lower barrier to maintenance means I actually do it regularly..

Anything that makes maintenance easier is worth its weight in brass.

Just how clean do you want your bore? And compare that to just exactly what ammunition were you firing through it ?

Thinking on it a while, I have to say "Lula Loaders" in pistol and AR sizes. And that boxy thing with the hook that did the work when I had a Cobra.

If you’ve ever had trouble keeping your rifle sling on your shoulder while wearing a backpack, maybe dragging a deer, or using trekking sticks, this simple sling hook that Velcro’s to your backpack’s shoulder strap will pretty much solve the problem. Plus you still have quick access to your rifle. My #1 inexpensive accessory!
