TekMat TEKR36AK47GY AK-47 Cleaning Mat, 36" Rubber, Black/Gray, Parts Diagram

The TekMat AK-47 cleaning mat is a purpose-built maintenance surface for AK platform rifles, designed to protect both your rifle and your work area during field stripping and cleaning. This 36-inch mat combines practical workspace with an illustrated parts diagram printed directly into the material, so you've got a quick reference right where you're working. The soft thermoplastic fiber surface won't scratch your rifle's finish, while the 1/8-inch vulcanized rubber backing safeguards your bench, table, or truck bed from oil, solvents, and the inevitable mess that comes with thorough maintenance.

The oversized 12 × 36 footprint gives you genuine elbow room—enough to lay out a fully disassembled AK with room left for tools, bore brushes, patches, and cleaning rod without playing three-dimensional Tetris with your parts. That thickness and mass keep the mat planted in place, resisting the slide and shift that thinner mats let happen, and the oil and water-resistant surface means spilled solvent stays on the mat, not soaking into whatever's underneath.

TekMat uses dye-sublimation printing, which heat-bonds the ink directly into the fiber rather than laying it on top like silkscreen. That means the diagram and text won't fade, crack, or peel with time and use—this mat earns its place in your gun locker year after year. The mat rolls up for storage in a cleaning kit or range bag, compact enough to stay portable but substantial enough to feel like a real investment in your gun maintenance routine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this mat protect my AK's finish from scratches?

Yes. The soft thermoplastic fiber surface is designed to protect your rifle from scratches during cleaning and disassembly. It won't trap grit or create friction damage the way hard surfaces can.

Is the mat big enough for a fully disassembled rifle?

The 36 × 12 inch size is large enough to handle a fully disassembled rifle with room to spare for your cleaning tools and accessories, so you won't have to constantly move parts around your work area.

Does the printed diagram stay legible, or does it fade with use?

The diagram uses dye-sublimation printing, which heat-bonds the ink into the fiber itself rather than sitting on the surface. This produces a design that resists fading, cracking, and peeling over time.

Will the mat slide around on my bench?

No. The 1/8-inch vulcanized rubber backing is thick and substantial enough to keep the mat anchored in place and prevent sliding during use.
