I've been using the typical old white cotton shirt. Is there anything more lint-free that any of you have found to be useful or wiping down guns?

A few years back when I cared to keep my guns really pretty I used some sort of yellow silicone gun cloth to wipe down my USP 45 after a range trip. I looked sharp and was lint free, plus it smelled cool.
Google silicone gun cloth.
Welcome!
I only use clothes for cleaning oily funk off.
To apply lubes or knock off dust I use 7/8" stencil brushes.Really like the duster brushes from Mil-comm.
Have a dry one for dusting and another for oil. Keep them in clear paint ball or plastic cigar tubes,which ever is available at the time...marked to indicate "oil" and "duster".
Works like a charm and no lint.

Another nice feature is cleaning the brushes....soak in alcohol,wipe the bristles off and air dry...clean and GTG.
I've always used a microfiber towel.
Old chamois towels from cleaning cars...
A cut up 50/50 poly-cotton or 100 poly t-shirt has always worked best for me. Very thin to get in tight spots, no lint, farely absorbent, cheap etc. Not much for micro-fiber towels as they are too thick and sometimes staticky. Those McNett towels are nice but expensive just for a weapon rag.
