AK-47 TekMat

AK-47 Cleaning Mat

The AK-47 TekMat is a 36 x 12 inch bench mat for cleaning and working on Kalashnikov-pattern rifles. It protects your table from solvent, oil and scratches, and it stops small pins and springs from rolling off the edge. The printed exploded diagram, a drawing that shows every part pulled apart and numbered, helps you reassemble the rifle in the right order. It suits first-time AK owners learning a field strip as well as experienced builders who want a clean, organized work surface.

Features

• Numbered Exploded Diagram — Every component of the AK-47 is drawn in place and numbered, with a matching parts list printed along the right side of the mat.
• Reference Panel — The left panel carries the rifle's production history, a specifications table and a short overview of its development.
• 36 x 12 Inch Footprint — The mat is long enough to lay out a full-length rifle, with space left for tools and removed parts.
• 1/8 Inch Vulcanized Rubber Base — A vulcanized rubber substrate, rubber that has been heat-cured for strength and resilience, gives a padded surface that cushions parts and finishes.
• Non-Skid Backing — The rubber underside grips the bench so the mat stays put while you scrub a bore or drive out a pin.
• Thermoplastic Fiber Surface — The top layer is a thermoplastic fiber fabric bonded directly to the rubber during vulcanization, so the two layers stay together.
• Dye Sublimation Printing — The artwork is dyed into the fabric rather than printed on top of it, so the white-on-black diagram stays legible through repeated cleanings.
• Waterproof And Oil Resistant — The surface resists water, gun oil and solvent, and the whole mat is washable when it gets dirty.
• Rolls For Storage — The flexible construction lets you roll the mat up and keep it in a range bag or on a shelf.

How It Is Built

TekMat builds the mat in layers: a dye-sublimated thermoplastic fiber top, vulcanized directly onto a 1/8 inch rubber substrate with a non-skid underside. The black surface with white line art makes small parts and numbers easy to see under shop lighting. The diagram and parts list follow the AK-47 layout, and the mat works as a general cleaning surface for any long gun that fits within 36 inches.
