Use for old worn out hole filled underware.

[smokeblower]

Those old worn out underware that the wife keeps pitching come back out the trash and become cleaning patches. Twist and cut to size with a pocket knife and you have the best cotton cleaning patches. Unless you wear wool underware, then you are more of a man than I am. Same for old socks.

In one brief moment you can have several cleaning patches... :haha:
Let's hope those are RUST stains... :shocking: :: :redface:

But why stop there, get the wife's old bras out and make a twin set of possibles bags, it even comes with handy shoulder straps... :haha: ::

 

[smokeblower]

I use the bras for double barrel slingshots. Comes in handy while hunting the elusive "double breasted mattress thrasher". Which may I add, is never fair game.

Ah jus foun me a pair o undies thet ah thout ah hed lost. but, ah jes took ma self a bath, n thar they was!

Actually, I've been using old T-shirts for cleaning patches for years. They work well, and sure are cheaper than store-bought cleaning patches. I also like to use old flannel shirts, but the patterns on them make it hard to see how much crud I'm gettin out of my gun. Flannel does make a good cloth for putting oil on a gun barrel. I've tried denim from old blue jeans, but it isn't so good. Still, denim is good for wiping my greasy hands on.

Got no use for undies?
What if your pants should fall?
Even with your holey undies..
It won't matter at all!

O don't throw out my undies
Might need them next Sunday
Though their holey and all
They'll due till the thaw,
By my hide!

There was an article in the local paper in the last couple of months...said that the Tennessee company that made knit underwear for the women in the state's prisons had recently branched out make gun cleaning patches....thought it was funny until I bought some patches at the local gun show and found I had the product...Hank

 

[musketman]

Patches and underwear, both inspected by #12...
They don't say cleaning patches untill I say, they say cleaning patches...

Sorry, old TV Commercial flash backs... :haha:

 

[TwoShadows]

Zonie....u is gud at thet stuff...ROTFLMAO !

 

[roundball]

Hank, I wonder if you're talking about a company called:
Southern Bloomer Mfg. Co.
PO Box 1621
Bristol, TN
423-878-6660
I've been using their cleaning patches for years...$12/1000.
Prod. Item #125 = 2" x 2" square, I use for .45/.50/.54
Prod. Item #123 = 2.5" x 2.5" square, I use for .56/.58/.62

I soak stacks of them with TC#13 for cleaning patches, use some dry for dry patches, and melt natural lube 1000 into stacks of them in the microwave to make bore lubing patches. I think 4 bags or more was free shipping.

 

[2172]

Roundball, I think that was the name of the company....they clean pretty well...of course, my wife keeps handing me perfectly good Tee shirts that she says I need to throw out...so I tend to have a good supply of underwear patches closer to home.
Speaking of the stuff you soak the patches in, what is TC#13? And, when I bought the two lymans last year, each came packaged with some stuff called "bore bright"...provided my MidSouth Shooters supply, I think, not Lyman. Since I have complete faith that some day I'll find the perfect Magic Mouse Pee to clean with, I tried the stuff...on the plus side, it works exactly as advertised, 3 soaked patches, followed by two dry ones, followed by the one to put on preservative....on the negative side, I spilled a little off the patch the first time I used it, and found it works pretty good as a finish remover...I hate to take the bbl out to clean, but now I do...Hank

TC#13 Bore Cleaner is a cleaning solution marketed under the TC name.
A very thin whitish colored liquid, comes in 8oz bottles, not petroleum based, works very well.

When I switched to flintlocks, and started using real black powder instead of the Pyrodex I had used for years in percussions, I assumed I'd have to wipe between every shot based upon what I'd read, and bought several bottles of it.

However, since I discovered that natural lube 1000 worked with real BP just like it did for me with Pyrodex, I don't wipe between shots so I still have a lot of bottles of TC#13 left on the shelf.

I do use it to clean the bore good between shots if I'm sighting in a hunting load just so I always know it's coming from a clean barrel like it would hunting, but to be honest, I'm not convinced that's even required, because I never see any differences between my first shot and subsequesnt shots on my Saturday trips to the range...old habits and beliefs die hard, huh

Oh,let us sing out for Grandma's lye soap,
good for pots and pans, and cleaning baby's hands.
For ladies underware, and things that's under there.
Good for a thousand uses in the home!

 

[Zonie]

Darn TwoShadows, Now you've got me trying to remember the song for "Grandmas Lye Soap". That rates right up there with
"Slap Her Down Again Pa".
Can you imagine trying to market THAT song now?
Oh sure, we can get all of the M..F...s we can stand and then some, but something like:

"Slap her down again Pa
Slap her down again.
Make her tell us more Pa
Tell us where she's been!
We don't want our neighbors
Talkin 'bout our kin!
Slap her down again Pa,
Slap her down again!......"

why I bet the Recording Co would be sued tell the cows come home!
