TekMat TEKR17JOIN "Join or Die" Original 17" Rubber Gun Cleaning Mat with Historical Snake Design

The TekMat TEKR17JOIN "Join or Die" Original 17" Rubber Gun Cleaning Mat brings a dose of American history to your bench setup. This durable rubber cleaning mat features the iconic colonial-era snake design—a nod to one of the earliest symbols of American unity—making it as much a conversation piece as it is a functional workspace. Whether you're breaking down a rifle, servicing a handgun, or performing routine maintenance, this mat gives you a dedicated, protected surface that keeps your firearm, tools, and solvents contained and organized.

Built from tough rubber construction, the TekMat is designed to handle the wear and tear of regular gun cleaning. The textured surface and raised edges help contain fluids and small parts, so you're not chasing springs across your workbench or soaking your table. The mat is large enough to lay out a disassembled firearm with room for tools and cleaning supplies, yet portable enough to roll up and store or take to the range. The printed design won't fade easily, preserving that historical snake graphic through countless cleaning sessions.

Gun owners who appreciate firearms history, American heritage, and practical workspace solutions find this mat strikes the right balance. It's the kind of accessory that shows up in photos of a well-kept shooting bench—functional, distinctive, and grounded in real utility rather than gimmick.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this mat protect my gun and table from cleaning solvents?

Yes. The rubber construction is resistant to common gun cleaning solvents, and the mat acts as a barrier between your firearm, tools, and the work surface underneath. The raised edges also help contain spills and keep fluids from running off onto your bench.

Is the "Join or Die" design durable, or will it wear off with use?

The design is printed on the surface and is built to withstand regular cleaning and handling. While any printed surface experiences some wear over time with heavy use, TekMat mats are designed for durability and long-term use.

Can I use this mat for pistols, rifles, or both?

The 17" x 11" size works well for both. You'll have plenty of room to lay out and organize components from either platform, along with cleaning tools and supplies.

What's included, and do I need to buy anything else to start cleaning?

The TekMat mat itself is included. You'll still need your own gun cleaning kit, solvents, brushes, and patches—the mat is the workspace foundation that helps you stay organized and protect your bench.
