Oily rag or cloth

[bullet chucker]

Mine eventually fell apart, it was originally a Terry's nappy (Washed of course) taken for my use in the 70s and only lasted about 40 years. Silicon Cloth has taken over as a wipe over protection.

I was just about to…….l keep mine in this old tin.

If you desperately need to see my old rag I’ll have to take another picture.

I've had the same bit of rag, kept in a plastic bag, for years. I use Ballistol spray on it now and then.

I just use WD40 as a water dispersant followed occasionally with my oily rag.

I do like an oily rag! But is anyone using renaissance wax? Just picked up a pot and trying it out.

I'm only into about 5 years of development of my current oily rag but it's coming along nicely. Stored hanging over the gun muzzles in the cabinet.

I use a yellow duster that is saturated with a mix of 3 in 1, rangoon and 303 oil. I have had it fir as long as I can remember.

I just had to get this old rag out after reading the posts, i just wish i could post the smell that goes with it.
It must me nearly 40 years old and still going strong (like the smell) I think it was a free cloth with Airgun World, its got just about every make of oil on you could imagine. I have another cloth for best thats only used on shotguns, but thats only about 30 years old.

I have a Tattershall cotton shirt,about 10 years old,that is getting darker more and more each year.
It is perfect.
My wife wants to wash it,she is naive of man stuff.

I have two. One is my father's old one which must be a good 50 year old and I'm just breaking a new one in; that's only about 20 years old. Both are bits of chamois leather - no idea why, just what we've always used and seems to last...

I did recently upgrade mine (about 15 years ago) to a microfibre cloth- cus I’m posh like that

Mine dates back a bit but still one in the eye to all those Creedmoor owners who are above such beneath-stairs chores:

I was just trying to work out if the writing is Latin for "Parker-Hale .270 rules" or possibly "walnut and blued steel is King".

 

[BenBhoy]

Not even sure 270 could handle that
