Overview
These cotton cleaning patches are made for routine firearm maintenance when you want a simple consumable that handles both fouling and solvent application. The single-nap, unbleached flannel construction gives one side a coarser texture for lifting residue, while the softer side is suited to carrying oils and cleaners through the bore. Sized at 1.25 inches square for .22 caliber use, they come in a 1,000-pack that suits range bags, cleaning benches, and high-volume upkeep.

Pros
- 100% cotton, single-nap, unbleached flannel construction
- Coarse weave side grabs and holds bore fouling
- Soft napped side helps distribute solvents and oils
- 1,000 patches per package for extended cleaning supply
- Sized for .223 and .30 caliber cleaning needs
Considerations & Trade-offs
- Sized for .22 caliber use at 1.25 inches square, so they are not the right fit for larger bores without moving to the .30 size listed in the specs.
- The single-nap flannel design is useful for both scrubbing and solvent/oil application, but it is a patch-style cleaning option rather than a dedicated brush or bore mop.
- Unbleached cotton flannel is straightforward and functional, though it does not add any specialized material features beyond the stated construction.
- The 1,000-pack format is efficient for frequent cleaning, but it is a bulk quantity that may be more than occasional users need at one time.
