Cleaning patches

[Gatorade]

I hate buying cleaning patches. I go by Bass Pro and $3.99 for 50! I always thought it was highway robbery! I remember hearing stories about people tearing cloth and using shoe laces to clean weapons during harsh times. Well my wife decided our comforter cover had seen its last night but wanted to keep the heavy duty fabric to cover some chairs. So I cut the heavy top fabric off and it hits me. The bottom fabric is the same cotton cloth they make patches out of. Next thing you know I am cutting strips for .30 cal and .22 cal patches. I have only got a third of the way through and I have thousands of patches from something I was going to throw away. You can also use old tshirts I think but this is awesome. If I strip and cut it all I may never pay for patches again! More money for other gun stuff! Pics later.
