Reply With QuoteI always thought it was 4x2. The pre cut cloth for the smaller calibre is still called fourby, even though it is about 1 1/2" x 1 1/2".

Funny how you think of odd things in a 4wd forum.
4x4 or fourby was the cleaning cloth issued to you each week by the CQ to clean your rifle.
also issued was a bottle of oil .
as I was a gunner I got extra supplies of everything, often a roll of fourby, which I would often doll out to the rest of the diggers in the section.
we would religiously draw our weapons , strip and clean , oil and reassemble , have them inspected by nco's before handing them back in.
as I was a gunner I had to clean my gun and my rifle but I didn't mind.
who remembers the pullthrough and the cleaning roll which went everywhere you went?
I still have a pullthrough and a set of cleaning rods.
I remember using the horrible insect repellent to clean the carbon from some of those hard to get places on the M60 and getting in the shower with it after a big shoot.
So 4x4 doesnt pertain to 4wd's only.
Does anyone know if they still use it?

Like this. Old stuff 4" x 2". New stuff 25mm x 30mm.

here's some nostalgia to any ex-gunners out there.
check out the piles of link and brass as it fires.
this puts a big grin on my face , having used this gun at sustained fire rates.

still have a roll from my Ptl 2IC days. Oh and a L1A1 cleaning kit. Use it regularly for detail cleaning jobs on small parts.
Thanks for the vid, gives the term SFMG a whole new slant!
Cheers, BDave.

When you said gunners, I thought you meant Gunners.

SubscriberThe best cleaning kit is the one for the Mag 58 which replaced the M 60. It has a tool for everything. Nt many people actually know how to use it properly.
