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?
cut up old white under shirts
Free time?
IM NOT going to cut patches!
Buy Wipe Out foaming bore cleaner. Apply every thousand rounds. Done.

I told you of a better way. Listen. Wipe Out foaming bore cleaner.
These will fit with a .22 jag. I use these Sinclair 1-1/8" patches and a Dewey coated cleaning rod on my “bench” AR. I like the Sinclair brass jags as well.
I don’t know which jag you’re using but with my pro-shot jag the pro-shot or kleen-bore .22 patches fit my DDM4v7 no problem. Those are both 1.25" patches.
I also switched to using a boresnake for quick cleaning and relegate patches to the less frequent more thorough bench cleanings. The .22 boresnake works great for the every few hundred rounds quick bore cleaning.
If the patches are too thick you can try piercing the patch toward the corner. Or try a different brand/style jag. Also you could wrap the patch around an old bore brush.
go to walmart, they have a whole assortment of patches, all of mine came from there and I have alot!
Can you provide a link for the bore cleaner you mentioned? Thanks in advance
I use Froglube on all my firearms and dont want to cross contaminate with pretroleum based products.
