AMSOIL Firearm Cleaning Mat
The AMSOIL Firearm Cleaning Mat is a padded, solvent-resistant work surface sized for handgun and long gun cleaning, assembly, and disassembly. Measuring 12 inches by 18 inches and built from padded neoprene with a durable, non-skid rubber backing, the mat protects firearm finishes and the workbench from oils, solvents, and small parts during routine maintenance, range-side touch-ups, and minor gunsmithing tasks.
Padded neoprene surface
The cleaning surface is constructed of padded neoprene that cushions the firearm and absorbs the small impacts that come with disassembly and reassembly. Cushioning helps protect bluing, Cerakote, anodized finishes, polymer frames, and slide rails from cosmetic damage during scrubbing, brushing, and bench rest contact. The flexible surface also keeps tools and small components from rolling away while the firearm is broken down for cleaning.
Solvent- and oil-resistant top layer
The padded neoprene top layer is solvent- and oil-resistant, so spills and overspray from common gun cleaning products stay on the working surface rather than soaking into a workbench, table, or counter. The resistant material is intended to handle the bore solvents, copper removers, lubricants, and CLPs typically used during firearm maintenance, including AMSOIL Firearm Cleaner and Protectant and AMSOIL Synthetic Firearm Lubricant and Protectant. Containing solvent and oil residue on the mat also keeps the work surface clean for the next session and reduces the chance of finish-damaging chemicals reaching the wood, laminate, or stone underneath.
Non-skid rubber backing
A durable, non-skid rubber backing keeps the mat in place on smooth or finished bench surfaces. Stability matters when running a bore brush, breaking apart a slide assembly, or loading a magazine, because a sliding mat can shift the firearm and risk dropping a small part such as a detent, spring, or pin. The rubber backing also provides a buffer layer between the mat and the bench top, which helps protect the underlying surface from impact and abrasion during routine cleaning work.
Sized for handguns and long gun components
At 12 inches by 18 inches, the mat is large enough to accommodate the field-stripped components of most semi-automatic pistols, revolvers, and many compact long guns laid out side by side. The footprint is intentionally compact, which makes the mat easy to store on a shelf, in a range bag, or inside a cleaning kit while still providing adequate working area for routine cleaning, lubrication, and parts inspection.
Rolls up for range and travel use
The mat is designed to roll up for storage and transport, so it stows easily inside a range box, gear bag, or duffle. A portable cleaning surface is useful at the range between courses of fire, on a hunting trip when a quick wipe-down is needed in the field, or at home when bench space has to be set up and broken down between sessions. Storing the mat rolled also helps keep the cleaning surface free of dust and bench debris between uses.
Recommended applications and care
The Firearm Cleaning Mat is intended as a protective work surface for routine firearm cleaning, lubrication, disassembly, reassembly, and minor gunsmithing performed on a flat bench, table, or other stable surface. It pairs naturally with a complete cleaning kit, a sturdy gun vise or cradle when needed, and the appropriate solvents and lubricants for the specific firearm being serviced.
- Routine cleaning of pistols, revolvers, and most rifles or shotguns broken down into components.
- Range-side maintenance between strings of fire, including wipe-downs and quick lubrication touch-ups.
- Light gunsmithing tasks such as parts inspection, spring swaps, optic mounting, and sight installation.
- Solvent and oil containment to protect benches, tables, and floors from drips and overspray.
To extend service life, wipe the surface clean of solvent residue and gun oil after each session, allow the mat to dry flat before rolling it up for storage, and keep it away from open flame or extreme heat sources. The mat is not intended as a heat shield and is not rated for use as a welding pad, soldering surface, or hot-parts work surface. Avoid placing sharp tools edge-down on the surface during use, since deep cuts in the neoprene can compromise solvent resistance and shorten the working life of the mat.

Frequently asked questions
What is a firearm cleaning mat made of?
The AMSOIL Firearm Cleaning Mat uses a padded neoprene top surface bonded to a durable, non-skid rubber backing. Neoprene cushions the firearm and resists common gun cleaning solvents and oils, while the rubber backing keeps the mat from sliding on a bench or table during disassembly and cleaning.
How big is the AMSOIL Firearm Cleaning Mat?
The mat measures 12 inches by 18 inches. That footprint accommodates the field-stripped components of most semi-automatic handguns and revolvers, and it provides a contained work area for the major assemblies of compact and mid-size long guns when broken down for cleaning.
Is the cleaning mat solvent- and oil-resistant?
Yes. The padded neoprene top layer is solvent- and oil-resistant, which helps contain bore solvent, CLP, and lubricant overspray on the mat instead of allowing it to soak through to the workbench or table underneath. Wiping the surface clean after each cleaning session helps maintain the appearance and feel of the mat.
Will the AMSOIL Firearm Cleaning Mat fit a long gun such as an AR-15?
The 12 inch by 18 inch surface is sized for handgun work and for long gun maintenance performed component by component. A complete AR-15 exceeds the mat in length, but the upper receiver, lower receiver, bolt carrier group, charging handle, and small parts can be laid out on the mat during cleaning and inspection, with the rest of the firearm supported separately on the bench.
Does the cleaning mat have a non-skid backing?
Yes. A durable, non-skid rubber backing helps prevent the mat from sliding on smooth or finished bench surfaces. The backing also provides a buffer layer between the mat and the bench top, which helps protect the underlying surface from impact and abrasion during cleaning work.
Can the cleaning mat be rolled up for storage or travel?
Yes. The mat is designed to roll up so it fits inside a range box, gear bag, or cleaning kit. The mat should be wiped clean of solvent and oil residue and allowed to dry flat before rolling, which helps prevent residue transfer and keeps the surface ready for the next session.
Does the AMSOIL Firearm Cleaning Mat ship with a published Product Data Bulletin?
No. The Firearm Cleaning Mat is a soft-good accessory rather than a chemical product, so a Product Data Bulletin and Safety Data Sheet are not published for the item. Construction, dimensions, and care information for the mat are provided on the product page and reflected in the description above.
