another Silly Question

[Taz]

Has any one found Cleaning Patches better then the average. Mainly in absorption AND LINT. They all seem to be sthe same and the all seem to suck.
So its a little thing but if there is a great patch out there I am all for it I shoot alot so I clean a lot and they drive me nuts.

my father used to swear by cheap paper towels and old t-shirts.

did not want to say it but been using old Tees have not tried the paper towels

I've got a healthy collection of brown t-shirts I like to use to clean my guns, I still keep the little white patches on hand for certain spots where I want to be able to see it I get any small amounts of residue.

I'm stealing this idea.

I'd say anything that's 100% cotton should be best at absorption. If it's old, lint shouldn't be an issue.

At work, we used to get 20lb boxes of cut up corduroy fabric as rags. stuff was great for cleaning up greasy, oily, whatever-y messes. probly too thick for bore patches though.

That said, I prefer the bore snake over any other cleaning method.

+1 on the BoreSnake! Thats all I use for regular cleaning, then about twice a year I use Bore Scrubber.
