Suppliers of highly engineered, lint-free Gun Cloth > Superior Barrel Cleaning for all three Military Services and Police Forces
Police ForcesOld vs NewTestimonialsDownloadsAntec high-end lint-free products and demanding industries like the military, aerospace, aviation, marine, food, janitorial, sanitation, manufacturing, maintenance, medical, hospitals, printing and automotive industries because they deliver exceptional performance, consistency and value.
Antec Defence has been supplying superior barrel cleaning lint-free gun cloth to the Military Services and Police Forces for over 20 years.
Where meticulous and virtually lint-free cleaning is important - eg small or large barrel bores - night vision, sights, optical equipment, engine rebuilds - polishing, etc. Its finely apertured surface efficiently collects dirt and residue - with high absorption and high resistance to scuffing.
It is ideal for a host of other demanding tasks where exceptional cleaning and a lint-free surface is required.
Consistently proven on Challenger 2 gun barrel cleaning since 1999 and fully tested. Ideal for a host of other demanding tasks where exceptional cleaning and a lint-free surface is required.
Engineered - for the meticulous barrel cleaning of all small arms, tanks and larger guns alike.
Superior - for the most demanding tasks - and for all general cleaning of all military equipment Antec Gun Cloth is virtually fibre-free - far superior in technology to the old fashioned "four by two."
Available in many formats - small perforated individual rolls for small arms - or larger rolls for wrapping around the barrel cleaning brush for tanks and artillery. Supplied to required sizes in perforated rolls - 50 metres small arms - and 500 large sheets per roll for larger guns and tanks. No loose strands or muslin hairs like the old "Four by Two" materials!
Engineered for Low Linting - the unique hydro-entangling technology forms the fibres into a strong, extremely low linting fabric. This allows Antec Gun Cloth to generate far fewer fibres than many competitive products - and withstand harsh solvents.
Fully tested and approved by the Defence Logistic Organisation as the barrel cleaning cloth to be used on the Challenger 2 MBT main armament since 1999. (NATO Codified - NSN [4CR2T] 1015-99-573-7009)
Why superior? Antec Gun Cloth is made with Sontara™ and is the perfect choice for many military applications because it is made from a tough, durable material that seriously resists abrasion and solvents, contain no binders or glues, is very low linting and also highly absorbent to liquids e.g. oil, hydraulic fluids, fuels, water, ink, and many harsh solvents.
Antec Gun Cloth is at the highest quality end of the wipes industry. It is made from the highest specification, non-woven hydro-entangled material. It is aimed directly at the toughest and most demanding jobs. This water-entanglement or spunlaced process eliminates the use of chemical binders in the material avoiding the release of fibres and lint which is normally caused by the chemical binder being dissolved by liquids or solvents.
Spun Laced fabric - the hydro-entanglement process locks the fibres together naturally.
No chemical binders - (which strong solvents break down and release fibres in many other wipes)
Solvent resistant - much more resistant to strong solvents as there is no binder to break down
Apertured surface - the matrix of apertures efficiently entrap residue particles (e.g. carbon, cordite etc)
An impeccable track record - so well proven in many demanding industries where normal cloths or wipes simply do not measure up to the more demanding requirements.
Main Benefits
Highly absorbent - cope with the dirtiest jobs
Does not leave fibres behind - always clean wiping

Trusted by many Police Forces to consistently perform!
Police Armourers - have the great responsibility to maintain the highest standard of consistent cleanliness. More importantly they need to ensure that all officers adopt the same methods of cleaning to maintain a standard, as a result they regularly insist upon Antec Gun Cloth to keep police pistols and gun barrels in top condition, free from harmful fibres, well maintained and ready for action.
Hi-tech weapons require a hi-tech cleaning material. Too much oil left behind during cleaning can have disastrous results due to the hydraulic effect. Antec Gun cloth is highly absorbent and quickly removes dirt and excess oil whilst leaving behind just the right smear of protective lubricant. Antec Gun Cloth has a technical pedigree that is second to none. Backed by the stringent DuPont and Antec Quality Control systems - and so well proven in many demanding situations where a lint-free result is imperative.
A modern solution for a modern Police Force - meticulous barrel cleaning of all small arms. Technology has moved on from the old flannelette which has been used since the Boer War!
Antec Gun Cloth is ideal for the future's demanding job - today! Consistent sizes, quality, absorption, abrasion resistance all help to maintain a high standard for all firearms in a force.
Perforated for ease of use - conveniently perforated and ready for use - Available in 50 metre rolls and perforated for immediate use. The pre-perforated patches give the armourer peace of mind that all cleaning is uniform and consistent across the force. Dirt Entrapment - by design - progressive dirt and residue entrapment every time!

Pulling-through and Cleaner Riflings – There is an inherent “springiness” to Antec GunCoth when it is compressed during the pulling-through process. This is particularly important as it ensures that the rifling grooves are better entered and cleaned more efficiently. The “apertured surface” is considerably more efficient at entrapping the dirt and residue than conventional smooth surfaced cotton flannelette cloth. The Antec patch used is therefore slightly larger than 4"x2" for this reason. All this equals less pull-throughs. Due to these qualities only two pull-throughs are often needed to achieve a clean bore, instead of three or four pieces with the conventional, "woolly" 4"x2" cotton cloth – saving time, material and money.

Having spent over 19 years involved in the service, repair, and use of a number of sporting and military weapons and weapons systems. I have never, until now, found an effective replacement for the old 4x2 and 2x2 cleaning cloth. I believe Antec offers users a superior and modern product at a greatly reduced cost.
Everyone who has used it has said that it is a lot easier and less messy than the old 4x2. I recommend it and now that is all we use.
At last - something seriously better than the old 4x2 with all its problems. This Antec Gun Cloth is just what we need. There is no comparison - it does a much better cleaning job in less time and less cost. I don't want the lint and loose threads any more - we are not going back!
