Bench Mats
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.

Re: Bench Mats
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.
It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!
