Pros & Cons
Pros
Green gunsmithing mat makes it my 4th so far and its been working great. Extreme length for 30 plus barreled long guns. Could cut into 3 or 4 mats for handgun cleaning. Perfect for handgun owners tired of homemade rags/towels or shop paper.
Cleaning is done as with the others with a damp sponge. Has a foam/rubber backing so if you spill solvent it doesn't leak through.
Pretty sturdy and looks good. Workmanship and materials used are impressive. It's also quite durable.
Cons
This mat is not very good for cleaning a firearm. Upon it's first recent washing it emerged covered in balls of green lint. This concealment binder is very scratchy on one's skin when worn under a single layer of clothing.
This item has been misrepresented by the description shown in amazon shopping. Can't understand why all the glowing reviews. This pad is on the cheap side and is an indication as to why made in america is no longer a sign of quality.
