    Cleaning patch recommendations

    I bought these and they dont fit with a standard .22 cleaning jag. My assumption is they are just to thick.

    I'm not going to modify my cleaning jag or cut my own patches. Please recommend some patches that are good quality and fit properly. This is for DDM4V3. Thanks

    It does seem that several reviews say those are thick. I stick with the Hoppes synthetic blown fiber patches, but I normally just use patches to wet the barrel before using a brush.. Neither of which do I do very often. Usually just a boresnake for a few hundred rounds.. Ron

    Don't waste your time worrying about patches. Get whatever fits and shoot more, clean less.

    Thats all I'm asking....what fits? I would prefer cotton and dont want to continue buying random patches that dont fit. So if you cant recommend patches....thanks anyway.

    I'm fairly certain there are a lot of members here that enjoy or believe in cleaning their carbines thoroughly. I'm just asking for specific product recommendations for patches that are used by guys on here that fit and hold up well.

    Just get some GI 30 cal cotton flannel cleaning patches, and cut them into quarters.

    If you are cutting anyway, why not buy a piece of white cotton flannel at WalMart and cut to fit?
