2 inch Arsenal patches - chaneylake - 03-17-2013
seem/feel/look thinner this year over last years, has anyone else noticed this or is it just me? a package of last years patches even feels heavier, I have no method of weighing them at the house.
there is also less resistance when I push one through the barrel

Don't know where you're getting yours, but I just copied this from Steve Rhodes "The Arizona Sharpshooter' websight "We have finally exhausted the origional supply of arsenal patches and now have to go to a newer version of the origional patches. The new material works the same as the original but unfortunatly is slightly more expensive. THE NEW PRICE FOR A BAG OF 1000 ARSENAL PATCHES IS NOW $13.00"

purchased from Buffalo Arms, I am getting different results using the new/thinner patches with my wiping technique, I might have to someway make the end of my wiping rod larger
