Been driving me nuts. I know not a long drive
 
I stopped smoking in April 2001. In march 2002 I was told I was a diabetic. Like having the rug jerked out from under a person.
Well enough of the whining.
I have been getting 4 boxes of these since 2002 ever other month.


No way can I use all of them before the next delivery arrives. I keep telling them to stop sending them but they don't.
I have been wondering what to do with all of them and one day the light finally came on.

Would they fit a 50 cal jag?


Opened up like this one they do and swab the bore just fine.
They also fit a 54 cal jag open like the above.

They even fit both calibers foled in half.



Just remember to use the right size jag.
They come in a double foil pack so carrying them afeild when hunting isn't a problem either.



Get them at any drug store. Not sure what the box would cost. They can be handy for starting a fire too.

Now to figure out what to do with all those extra lancets. I only use one a week.

Good for you yooper - lemons to lemonade.

My wife is diabetic. I kid her that she gets to shoot (herself) more than I do.
I love those little alcohol swab packets. Don't leave home without them.

You know when you get a new thingy and they place those neat little price stickers on the thingy and the glue sticks like the bjeepers..... Alcohol swabs gets it off.;)

It really is true, when one door closes, another opens up.

Oh, congrats on quitting smoking. I did it back in '92, thought it was going to kill me!

I buy those alcohol swab packets like that and carry them in my hunting bag in case I need an emergency swab or to clean the barrel in the field...
