Ok, just a quick explanation.I started hunting when I was 18 years old, just rabbit and squirrel. I taught myself because I didn`t know anyone else who hunted. So I went alone and figured everything out alone, from hunting to cleaning game to cleaning firearms. Way back when I was just 18, all I did to clean a shotgun or rifle was to lay out a thick pad of newspaper and go to work.
Fast forward to today-I`m nearly 67, and I still clean like I did back then. Newspaper on a card table. I don`t have a good gun cleaning set up-I just set the card table up in my office and cover it with newspaper and get to it. But I have to be extremely careful because if I got gun solvent or oil on the carpet or anything else, my wife is going to kill me. Does anyone use one of the commercial felt-like cleaning pads? I`ve thought about those, but don`t know how absorbent they are, and then how you would clean and store them?
Anyone use them?
