The way you clean a shotgun is not the same way you would clean a different firearm.
To keep a shotgun in good working order and to increase its longevity, you need to clean it as often as you use it.
To do that, you need a cleaning kit that has all the necessary tools to remove crud and dirt buildup that may cause your gun to malfunction.
New gun owners may not know this, but when you use your shotgun regularly never taking the time to clean it, the dirt and fouling can affect its accuracy and its overall performance.
