A method of removing a trigger assembly from a firearm includes placing a projection of a pin removal tool against a first end of a trigger pin of a firearm. The projection of the pin removal tool extends from a first end of a handle of the pin removal tool. The projection is then pushed against the pin so as to cause the pin to partially unseat from its position within the firearm. The pin removal tool is then turned around and the head is engaged to the pin between the first end and a second end thereof via a notch of the head. The pin removal tool is pulled so that the trigger pin is removed from the firearm so as to release a trigger assembly which is at least partially held within the firearm by the trigger pin.

A device to secure and hold an ammunition magazine includes a block using a channel, a receiving ramp, and a slider to accommodate a variety of sizes for the magazine. The block can be made of metal or plastic. The block includes a front edge and a back edge. The front edge includes an opening for the receiving ramp. The metal block also includes side edges. A first side edge includes a machine hole to receive a thrust bolt having a knob that turns to move the slider within the channel. The second side edge is removable and borders the receiving ramp. The slider extends into the receiving ramp as moved by the thrust bolt to secure the magazine. The receiving ramp descends at an angle from the front edge to the back edge to accommodate the magazine.

A gun cleaning apparatus includes a cleaning tool and a storage case. The cleaning tool has a cleaning section and a pull cord having a distal end for pulling the cleaning section through a gun barrel. The storage case is configured for enclosing the cleaning tool. The storage case includes a substantially hollow container defining a rim at opening thereof, and a removable lid positionable between a closed configuration and an open position. The removable lid includes a handle section for gripping by a user to assist with pulling the cleaning tool through the gun barrel in the open configuration and configured to engage the rim in the closed configuration, and a connection section extending from the handle section, the connection section defining an elongated slot and a cavity for securing the distal end of the pull cord therein.
