Thanks Cayugad, Owning other firearms I havea lotof the cleaning stuff and that CVA cleaning kit has most of the others. I'm not sure, what does a patch worm do? Retrive a patch from the barrel I assume. I plan on using Power Belts (at least to start out with). Also I see mention on the forums a mix of windex and white vineger (sp?). Is that used to clean the breech plug? I'll take a good look at what I got and recommendations from readers and put my list together. I've learned a lot from the short time I've been a member on this site and I haven't even fired the first shot out of my ML. I went to the CVA.com site and looked at the Shooting 101 videos and it gave me a good idea of how this all comes together. Thanks for your help.
