Birchwood Casey Square Gun Cleaning Patches for Firearm Cleaning and Maintenance

I know gun cleaning patches are a bit of a weird thing to have a brand specific preference on, but boy let me tell you that I do. So I mostly use them for the bores of my AR9 and my g43x as they both shoot 9mm, but I also just tear the patches in half to clean the bores of my 5.56 ARs and that works phenomenally. These patches are a pretty solid step up from the conventional cleaning patch. You're probably thinking, "Has cleaning patch technology been revamped that hard by Birchwood Casey with this product or is this guy just insane?". Let me explain. The patches are a bit more durable than others I've had experience with in the past, as I predominantly use jags to clean my bores and others sometimes allow the jag and cleaning rod to punch through the patch essentially rendering it useless. Hardly happens with these patches and I love it, given I'm not a particularly patient person. In addition to the durability, I also like the fact the patches feature a coarse and smooth side. The coarse side is very effective at scraping copper fouling/carbon out of a bore(the patches predominant use) and the smooth side is good for things like rubbing small areas of the gun with oil as a protective coating. With the quantity of patches you get for the price you pay coupled with the genuine quality of the patches, it would probably take a lot for me not to be a continuous buyer/endorser of these patches.

The size of this cleaning patch is nice and large. I couldn't find one this large at the big box stores so it was nice to find this for cleaning my 12 gauge shotgun. The patch can be cut to your preference and I cut mine in half to wrap around my brass brush. Dabbed it separately with Hoppes 9 and Hoppes regular cleaner and carbon kept on coming off the inside barrel. I had neglected my pump shotgun for a while thinking pumps could function without much cleaning. They can but they start to malfunction if carbon buildup gets too bad. In my case, the brass bristles along with the Hoppes and this cleaning patch really helped to remove a lot of carbon. The texture on the patch I find, is useful in pulling more carbon off than the smooth type. It is stiffer and not soft like the shirt patches. The harder material helps scrape stuff off, but I find the cotton type material is best for applying lubricants in the barrel. You get a good number of patches for the price. Make your barrels great again!

These are quality cleaning pads. They are large but for a shotgun you will need to use three at once. For my 9mm pistol I only need to use one. They are the perfect size for a 9mm pistol. Good quality and they clean barrels well

I started buying these patches only. Some say they don’t like them but when not only your Brother shooting Pro series PRS but his friends also use them and there’s 3 world champions our of his friends. When using JB bore shine or IOSSO bore cleaner, Patch-out and Wipe-out or even Butches Bore shine you’ll find that the compound or oil will stay put. You won’t have any lint left behind. I use a spiral looking jag Parker Hale style jag by JD Dewey this jag is longer but cleans with the entire length of the jag. You can use a 7mm patch for a 25 caliber rifle bore. I start the pointed edge and roll it onto jag. Just spin your rod to do this. These patches just work so much better. Don’t think they had these 50 years ago when I started cleaning a 22 LR

These patches work pretty well compared to the cotton patches I used previously. I had some small bits of lint leftover on my gun but nothing too bad. Way better than cotton patches. Good quantity and seem to hold up well.

Great size for a .308 cal. A little large to provide extra bore scrubbing. Highly absorbent and durable for the thickness allows more versatile uses.

These are easily the best all-round cleaning patches I’ve used. Over the years I’ve tried everything from the cheap synthetics like Hoppe’s, to jersey cotton, and of course flannel, and these seem to outdo them all. The rough side does an excellent job of scrubbing powder and grime out of the barrel (as well or better than flannel), while the smoother side is great for mopping passes. I prefer to use bore-diameter cleaning jags, and the 2.25” size and thincknes is perfect for 9mm/.357 - not too tight, but snug enough to allow me to work the rod back and forth without them sliding off (they’re also fine on a looped jag). They’re the most durable by far, easily holding up through multiple passes, and don’t leave ANY of the annoying strands and lint that flannel patches do. I’ve also found them really handy as general cleaning patches on the rest of the gun as well, where the rough texture again proves beneficial. One other little tip - cut them into fourths, and they are perfect fit for a .22

Purchased this as an Xmas gift. My friend says this is exactly what he needed. He says they are a good size for general cleaning.

Some of the best patches I've found. Sturdy, good texture to them, they don't leave lint or strings in you action...

Parfait pour ma 270 win.

Just perfect ☺️

Son excelentes para usarlos con alcohol isopropilico y poder limpiar lo que quieras, ay que no dejan pelusa y su tamaño está muy práctico.

Good absorption of solvents and oil . Minimal loose threads.
