The Wheeler 156824 AR-15 Maintenance Mat transforms any workspace into a professional gunsmithing station with its oversized 47" x 20" surface and detailed parts diagram. This specialized work mat prevents small components from rolling away while protecting both firearm finishes and work surfaces from scratches and chemical damage.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic towels or generic mats, this purpose-built maintenance mat features a printed AR-15 exploded diagram that serves as both reference guide and parts organization system. The dual-layer construction combines a chemical-resistant neoprene top with a non-slip rubber backing that stays firmly in place during detailed work. At nearly four feet long, it accommodates fully disassembled rifles with room for tools and cleaning supplies.
Key Features
- Oversized 47" x 20" surface accommodates complete AR-15 disassembly
- Detailed Delta-style parts diagram printed in white on gray background
- Chemical-resistant neoprene top layer protects against solvents and oils
- Non-slip rubber backing prevents mat movement during use
- Raised edges contain small parts and prevent rolling
- Easy-clean surface wipes down with standard gun cleaning solvents
- Compact roll-up design for storage in range bags or gun safes
The mat's professional-grade construction handles repeated exposure to gun oils, cleaning solvents, and carbon fouling without degrading or staining. Range armorers and competitive shooters rely on similar mats for field stripping and maintenance in various environments. The printed diagram eliminates guesswork during reassembly, particularly valuable for newer AR-15 owners learning proper maintenance procedures.
