Bench Mats

#1 Post by ovenpaa »

Can anyone point me in the direction of a UK supplier of Bench Mats for cleaning and working on firearms? Currently I am using a table undercover and it is getting ready to be replaced so may as well get the proper job.

David,

I use a black rubber mesh sheet that is available from Homebase, B&Q etc. It is non slip, cheap and available in a roll so can be cut to size. BUT it is not 'fluid' proof!!

Hope this helps.

A nice big piece of leather! I think I have seen these on gunsmiths benches on TV. Tacked around the edges so it is taught.
