Birchwood Casey Gun Cleaning Patches 17 22 Caliber 1 Inch Square 60 Pack BC 41159 UPC 198954001041
Product Description
The Birchwood Casey® Gun Cleaning Patches 60-Pack (SKU: BC-41159 / UPC: 198954001041) delivers match-grade bore cleaning and maintenance capability in a lightweight, field-ready format tailored for mobile shooters, match competitors, and hunters. Sized precisely at 1.00 inch by 1.00 inch, these patches provide optimal radial compression and contact surface for .17 through .22 caliber centerfire and rimfire barrels, ensuring complete rifling contact to sweep away stubborn carbon fowling, lead build-up, and jacket copper without abrading sensitive barrel crowns.
Constructed with an advanced double cross-weave pattern, each patch balances heavy scrubbing strength with superior capillary fluid absorption. The lint-free material matrix prevents loose fiber shedding and residue stranding commonly found with inferior bulk cotton, keeping tight gas ports, locking lug recesses, and match chambers completely clean. The reinforced weave resists chemical breakdown, maintaining structural strength even when fully saturated with aggressive bore cleaners, copper solvents, rust penetrants, or traditional CLP lubricants.
Housed in an ultra-compact resealable storage pouch, this 60-count pack fits effortlessly into range bags, stock pouches, field maintenance rolls, or tactical chest rigs. Whether placed over a needle-point brass piercing jag or looped through a nylon slotted tip, the 1-inch square geometry centers naturally to deliver smooth, consistent pass resistance and uniform solvent application along the full length of the bore.
*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 caliber-specific bore guide into the receiver or bolt raceway to isolate the action and trigger mechanism from 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.
