Gun Oil rag...

[Drgong]

What do you guys use for the oil and fabric for your oil rag for your handguns? I want to keep the soon to be mine Model 15 "pritty"

 

[jfdavis58]

Old fashioned cotton diapers and cotton bed sheets. We've got three kids, lots of leftover rags from when they were babies. Bought my first 'new' pack just a couple months ago. Wash them a couple times before using them on the guns, eliminates lint.

Old cotton t-shirts work well too.

Pieces of the "honey not tonight" flannel PJs my wife gets from Victoria's Secret. I especially enjoy ripping them up

Sadly, discontinued.

I was hoping Brownells would buy the rights from Silencio and find a small company to manufacture the products (RIG grease and the RIG-Rag).

My old T-shirts for both oily gun rags and cleaning patches...

 

[GTSteve03]

Old t-shirts (I'm sensing a trend here) lightly spritzed with Breakfree CLP.

 

[NG VI]

I also like old shirts

 

[NG VI]

Come to think of it I have been known to use the white t-shirt I was wearing at the time...

 

[Tirod]

Army brown T-shirt tails. They tuck back in.

Ahh, the smell of CLP in the morning. . .

 

[Walkalong]

Old hand towels. Shhh. The wife hasn't caught on yet.

 

[John Wayne]

A hand towel I "borrowed" from the gym and Hoppe's gun oil. They can have it back. Some day.

I use 12 gauge shotgun cleaning patches.

If you use a rag for any time at all, grit and dirt from the guns gets embedded in the cloth and starts acting like an abrasive cloth on the finish.

Wet a shotgun patch with your favorite preservative, then after wiping the guns, throw it away and use a clean one next time.
Patches are cheap, refinish jobs for worn finishes aren't.

 

[CWL]

100% cotton t-shirts and the rags you get for detailing cars.

 

[P90shooter]

I also use a 100% cotton T-shirt.

 

[The Bushmaster]

dfariswheel...Hummm...I've been using my old T-shirts for close to 50 years now and one of my rifles is a Winchester mod 94 that I have had sense I was 18 and it shows no loss of bluing from those T-shirts. But that's why we have so many ways to clean our fire arms. Everyone can pick and choose what works for them...

 

[BlindJustice]

When old T-shirts get holes in the underarm or around the neck
I cut them up and put em in the gun cleaning rag bag. Gun oil,
presently I'm using the WIlson Combat oil/lube that comes in a
hypodermic like applicator at the base of the 'needle' it turns for
on/off application mode. I've also got a small box of patches for
bore swipes.

I planted 4 acres of cotton specifically for gun cleaning. I pick it, bale it, spin it into thread, and then weave plain white gun rags from it by hand in the light of a beeswax candle.
Either that or I grab an old T-shirt which now has too many beer stains to wear in public.

 

[Drgong]

sounds like 100% cotton T-shirt is the winner

 

[eatont9999]

Some of my old T-shirts would make the gun dirtier if I were to "wipe it clean."

 

[The Bushmaster]

Messy eater, eatont9999?

 

[Loomis]

Shop rags sneaked from work.

old boxers?
