In a few short hours I'll own my first gun which will be a Ruger Mark III 22/45.
I was wondering what I would need to clean the gun as far as tools, lubricants, or even readily accessible kits that can be picked up at a retailer.
Also, I bought 400 rounds of CCI mini mags to run through the gun first and then some cheaper Federal rounds for afterwards. Do I need to clean the gun prior to shooting? I'm picking it up near the range I shoot at and I live 30 minutes away. So I'd like to just pick it up and shoot it, but wasn't sure if I should right out of the box.
