Default 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...
