Tapco TAP22072 .38 Cal Square Cotton Cleaning Patches 1.75" 500ct

The Tapco TAP22072 square cotton patches deliver consistent cleaning performance for .38 caliber firearms with their precision-cut 1.75-inch dimensions. These patches maintain structural integrity during cleaning cycles, preventing fiber separation that can leave residue in barrels and chambers.

What Makes This Different

Unlike generic round patches that can bunch up in rifling grooves, these square-cut patches provide uniform contact across the entire bore surface. The 1.75-inch size offers optimal coverage for .38 caliber barrels while maintaining enough material overlap to trap fouling effectively. Premium cotton construction resists tearing under pressure from cleaning rods and tight bore tolerances.

Key Features

• 500-count bulk packaging reduces per-patch cost for high-volume shooters
• 1.75-inch square dimensions engineered specifically for .38 caliber bores
• 100% cotton construction absorbs solvents and oils without synthetic breakdown
• Precision-cut edges prevent fraying and fiber deposits in barrel grooves
• Square geometry provides consistent surface contact throughout cleaning stroke
• Compatible with standard .38/.357 cleaning jags and patch holders
• Lint-free material won't leave cleaning residue behind

These patches perform reliably across temperature ranges encountered in competitive shooting, law enforcement training, and recreational use. The cotton material maintains absorbency in both hot summer range sessions and cold weather conditions. Square patches conform to rifling patterns more effectively than round alternatives, ensuring thorough removal of powder residue and copper fouling from match-grade barrels.
