garbage (literally) product warning.

I usually buy big packs of 3" patches & cut them to clean smaller bores. Every time I've bought "bulk packs of 3" patches" thats what I have recieved a big dollop of 3" square cotton fabric squares.

Until today!

I picked up several of the "Winchester" brand "200 X3" bulk cleaning patches" from Wally World & discovered to my horror the ziplocs are filled with literally trash fabric trimmings. Probably 70% of the small, randomly shaped, offcuts could not be made into a 1 1/2" patch, much less a 2" or 3"one.:eek:

The smaller patch size packs seem to contain normal patches, but all the 3" ones in 2 stores were literally bags of ripped, randomly shaped small rags for $6.00.

Buyer beware, check the contents before buying:mad: FRom now on I'llstick to my old time favourite fron the Southern Bloomer Mfg. Co. more patches that are actually patches for 2/3 rds of the price.
 
If you go to the fabric store, they have all kinds of patch material. All you have to do is cut it into the size you want/need.

You can sit down in front of the idiots lantern and cut patches, with a adult beverage.
 
I think you've utterly missed the point of the post. Let me simplify.

Winchester is selling small bags of garbage for $6.99.:rolleyes:
 
I have had the same experience with these Winchester patches from our local Walmart. I won't buy them again that's for sure.
 
No I did Not miss the point

Yes you did. The post has nada, zip, zero, diddly to do with how you make patches. It has everything to do with a product sold with misleading information.

"CUT TO SIZE COTTON CLTHS, THE BAG HAS CALIBER CUT OUT SIZES PRINTED ON IT."

I know, but please explain how you cut a 3" square out of a triangular shape the is only 1 7/8" wide at the widest point?

Never mind I give up, buy what you want & use it however you feel.
