OMG please talk me out of this. (Gun cleaning mat)

[Picton]

It has a solvent friendly cover over it, liquid bubbles on it rather than soaks in. Only time will tell of course, I will let you know how it holds up over time but I looks like it will be ok.

So many questions.

I’ll just say I hope you enjoy your new purchase.

So, you spent $200 on a cleaning mat?

If I win the mega millions, I am buying the $200 cleaning mat and paying someone a livable wage with benefits and 401K matching just to clean my guns.

That is how much I hate cleaning guns.

With the exception of beautiful wood stocks.

I enjoy cleaning.

What I enjoy less is spending money on cleaning stuff.

Just saying: An inexpensive Lyman Large Rubber Cleaning Mat. A handful of inexpensive cleaning supplies,

A few Guinness Extra Stouts and some good rock music (playing in the background), is all that I need!

I like to put on good action movies with a beer.

I enjoy cleaning.

Yeah, two menial tasks that I enjoy are cleaning guns, and mowing.
No one bothers me.

The smell of Hoppe's 9 in a poorly ventilated room is pretty nice. Gets you a little light headed.

We have all been there at least once.

I have a workbench dedicated to guns and covered with a 3/8" thick piece of white UHMW. I clean and work on guns on that. I wipe it down when I'm done. Pretty rare now that a gun gets more than a few swipes with a bore snake, a quick wipe down, and some lubricant at critical points. If I get a gun truly dirty, like mud/sand/blood/schmoo dirty, I'll lean it against the garage when I wash my truck and it gets the foam cannon and some meguiars wash n wax, maybe a blow dry with the leaf blower lol

No, I purchased a cheaper version I found for $69, with a birthday gift card, the point of birthday gift is to get something you wouldn't normally buy yourself.....
Update here
I was comparing to the original (which I don't have) and thought it's not a bad gift idea for others, especially for those hard to find for significant others.

I might buy my wife one, with my initials on, so she never forgets who bought it

It’s the cleaning mat that this guy uses:

A fancy house you'll never be able to sell.

 

[Waher]

I’m having a hard time understanding why anybody would want a wool gun cleaning mat, soaking up all the cleaner and lubricant.

It's like a bear skin rug for guns instead of your wife or girlfriend.

 

[MGnoob]

Just wear it in the shower and then put some oil on it… Even if there’s ammo in it it doesn’t matter

I too enjoy cleaning.

There's nothing quite putting on the Netflix, grabbing a cold beer, and thoroughly cleaning a firearm for an evening.

Try it. Trust me. It is very therapeutic.
