Genuine Military Surplus

Authentic issued gear. Built to strict combat specifications for uncompromising durability and performance.

These unissued army surplus rifle cleaning wicks are original military issue pull-through strings for firearm maintenance.

Military Issue Design

Originally issued as the Reinigungsdocht with German military cleaning kits, these cotton wicks were made for routine field maintenance. Issued across army units to keep service rifles free from dirt, moisture, and powder residue.

Separable Cotton Strands

Each wick features 16 separable cotton strands, allowing you to adjust the thickness to fit different barrel calibres. They soak up gun oil and solvents effectively while pulling dirt out of rifle barrels without scratching the metal.

Practical Outdoor Utility

Beyond firearm maintenance, these 100% cotton wicks double as excellent tinder for bushcraft fire starting. Their compact bundle size makes them easy to pack into pocket cleaning kits, emergency survival tins, or range bags.

Keep your cleaning kit fully supplied with these multi-use army surplus cotton wicks for your next range trip or outdoor excursion.
