When I first started shooting my Hawken back in '79 I tried using a t-shirt one time and it became stuck in the barrel and I couldn’t move it for anything. I ended up pulling the breach plug to get it out and that was a big deal for me back then. Cost me $20 to have a gun smith take it apart ($20 back then was like $200 today) and clear the problem and ever since I just give a wide birth to t-shirt material. I saw the patches at wal-mart and considered them but they reminded me too much of t-shirt material. The patches I currently have came from Cabelas and were a little pricy for my liking but I do like how they feel and clean the barrel. I'll re-consider the t-shirt material since I can pull my own breach plug now and give it another try. Thanks for all the input...
