Cotton gun cleaning clothe

[nettlle]

A few years ago I bought a couple of yards of cotton lint free clothe from an online fabric store for gun cleaning that I really liked. About out now. Like a dummy I don't remember the source. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Old worn out cotton T-shirts work for me.

Shop rags.

The Walmart sewing department (if your local WM still has one) sells 1/4 yard remnants for around a buck. Find one you like that's 100% cotton.

You don't have to wear them first. They can be used for cleaning guns without having been worn. Seriously though, thrift stores are the place to go for stuff like that. Often they'll have days where clothes with a particular color tags on them are half off. Pick those color tags in the largest size t shirts that they have. I used to live in Ohio and there's a lot more of an obesity problem there than there is where I live now. Doesn't bode well for society, but it makes for lots of cheap gun cleaning rags.

I have used used up t-shirts for years. It has only cost me the effort to cut the material into small squares and I have never damaged a gun with them. Never had a gun complain about the shirt color either. Free is free. Why spend money when there is no need.

I took a small sample of my cleaning patch to the local fabric store and asked ifi could get a halfa yard of it. The clerk found the exact match of the sample. Half a yard of patch material came to $3. This and a few minutes of cutting up the fabric into small swatches kept me in cleaning patches for several years now.
