Birchwood Casey Gun Cleaning Patches 17 22 Caliber 1 Inch Square 1000 Pack BC 41158 UPC 198954003847
Product Description
The Birchwood Casey® Gun Cleaning Patches 1,000-Pack (SKU: BC-41158 / UPC: 198954003847) delivers professional-grade bore maintenance capability to competitive shooters, armorers, and high-volume marksmen running small-bore firearms. Sized specifically at 1.00 inch by 1.00 inch, these patches provide the ideal contact surface for .17 through .22 caliber centerfire and rimfire barrels, ensuring complete 360-degree rifling engagement to sweep away stubborn carbon fowling, lead build-up, and copper fouling without marring sensitive barrel crowns.
Constructed with an advanced double cross-weave pattern, each patch balances heavy scrubbing strength with superior capillary fluid retention. The lint-free material structure prevents the thread shedding and residue stranding commonly experienced with lower-grade bulk cotton patches, keeping internal gas ports, chambers, and locking lug recesses pristine. The reinforced weave resists chemical breakdown, maintaining its integrity even when saturated with aggressive bore cleaners, copper solvents, rust penetrants, or traditional CLP lubricants.
Packaged in a convenient 1,000-count resealable storage pouch, this bulk pack keeps your bench supply protected from humidity, dust, and workshop grit. Whether mounted over a point-piercing brass jag or threaded through a nylon slotted tip, the 1-inch square geometry centers effortlessly to provide consistent bore resistance and maximum solvent dispersion down the entire length of your barrel.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:*
Fitment Matrix: Calibrated for all .17 to .22 caliber barrels (.17 HMR, .17 Hornet, .17 WSM, .204 Ruger, .22 LR, .22 WMR, .223 Rem, 5.56x45mm NATO, .22-250 Rem, and .224 Valkyrie). Compatible with standard caliber-matched piercing jags and slotted patch loops. CRITICAL: When cleaning tight .17 and .20 caliber bores, avoid doubling up patches or using mismatched oversized jags to prevent wedging or damaging cleaning rods in the bore. Always guide cleaning rods through an aligned bore guide from breach to muzzle to protect the throat, leade, and delicate rifling crown. Never pull a dirty, carbon-fouled patch rearward back into the action or chamber.
- Ensure the host firearm is completely clear, magazine removed, and chamber visually and physically verified empty.
- Insert a bore guide into the receiver or bolt raceway to isolate the action and trigger mechanism from bore solvent runoff.
- Center a Birchwood Casey 1-inch square patch over the tip of a caliber-matched piercing jag or thread it through a slotted loop, then saturate it with your designated bore cleaner or copper solvent.
- Push the wet patch smoothly in a single, continuous forward stroke through the bore from breach to muzzle, allowing the soiled patch to drop off at the muzzle exit.
- Cycle consecutive dry patches through the bore until they exit clean, inspect the lands and grooves with a bore light, and finish with a lightly oiled patch to protect the barrel against storage oxidation.
