Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - What's your recommended type patch for cleaning?
Posted: 9/17/2004 11:00:47 AM EDT
I am fixin on putting in an order to Brownells and can't decide what type of patches to buy.  "Twill", "Milspec", "cotton flannel" or "heavy duty cotton flannel."  I bought a couple huge packs at a gun show a while back (stock getting low now) but the bag was unmarked.

Boresnake.

The only time I use 'real' patches is when I'm applying Shooters Choice to a match barrel and any old cheap patch from walmart will do that just fine.  Then I've got a boresnake that I use just for the match barrels so that I don't mix Shooters Choice and Breakfree as I clean different rifles.

Sinclair International cotton cleaning patches work well for me.

My favorite is Southern Bloomers.
I like the way the patch stretches to enter the slot.

And every once in a while I find a patch that has a cute little design on it.  They’re so cute!
