Configure the cleaning schedule

Set how often this firearm needs to be cleaned:
  • Cleaning interval (days) — the dashboard alerts you 14 days before the next cleaning is due
  • Cleaning procedure — link a saved cleaning procedure so it appears automatically when you resolve a cleaning action item
Set a cleaning interval on every firearm you actively use. My Kit surfaces a dashboard reminder 14 days before the next cleaning is due, so you never miss a maintenance window.

Upload a photo and documents

Optionally attach a photo and supporting files:
  • Image — upload a photo of the firearm. My Kit automatically resizes it on save.
  • Documents — attach PDFs or other files such as the owner’s manual, FFL transfer paperwork, or warranty documents.
6

Save the record

Click Save. The firearm appears in your Firearms list immediately.

​
Edit and delete firearms

To edit a firearm, click its name in the list and select Edit. All fields are editable, including the cleaning schedule and service status. To delete a firearm, open the edit form and click Delete. Deleting a record permanently removes the firearm and its associated image from storage. Attached documents are also removed. This action cannot be undone.
Deleting a firearm is permanent. The record, its photo, and all attached documents are removed and cannot be recovered.

​
Service status

Every firearm has an In service toggle you can set on the edit form. When a firearm is marked out of service, enter a reason — for example, “Awaiting parts” or “Sent for repair.”
Out-of-service firearms appear as Critical action items on the main dashboard. They remain visible there until you mark them back in service, ensuring nothing gets overlooked.

​
Cleaning intervals and dashboard alerts

The Cleaning interval field controls how My Kit calculates the next cleaning date. My Kit computes the due date by adding the interval to the last cleaned date. When that date is within 14 days, a cleaning reminder appears in your dashboard action items. When you resolve a cleaning action item from the dashboard, the last cleaned date updates to today automatically. You can also update it directly by editing the firearm record. To link a step-by-step procedure to a firearm, set the Cleaning procedure field. See Cleaning supplies and procedures for details on building procedures.
