OneTigris Gun Clean Mat Magnetic (48″x16″) Review: A Grippy, Oil-Resistant Work Surface That Actually Holds Onto Your Parts

If you’ve ever watched a tiny detent spring make a beeline for the shop floor, this mat is for you. We put the OneTigris Gun Clean Mat Magnetic through a few bench sessions—AR upper and BCG teardown, a 1911 field strip, and a couple of optic swaps—and came away impressed with how confidently it protects your table, anchors in place, and keeps small steel parts from wandering. The extra-long 48-inch layout gives you room to work on a rifle without crowding your tools, while the rubberized, solvent-resistant surface shrugs off CLP, bore cleaner, and light oils.

Why We Picked It (and Kept Using It)

– Extra-large 48″x16″ workspace: Plenty of runway for full-length rifle assemblies, AR uppers, and pistol projects side-by-side.
– Integrated magnetic zones: Help corral pins, screws, and springs so they don’t roll off mid-project.
– Anti-slip rubberized base: The mat stays planted; we didn’t experience creeping or bunching on wood or stainless benches.
– Solvent and oil resistant: Wipes clean with a single shop towel; no swelling, staining, or lingering odors in our testing.
– Surface-safe protection: Acts as a sacrificial layer against nicks, marring, and chemical spills on your bench or dining table.
– Low-curl design: Unrolls flat quickly; edges didn’t fight us after the first use.

Our Hands-On Findings

Space to Work, Not to Worry

On rifle days, 48 inches makes a real difference. We could line up the BCG, charging handle, and small parts tray while keeping the upper and lower separate and organized. For a 1911, it felt almost luxurious—tons of room for a mat-mounted tool roll and cleaning supplies without crowding.

Magnetic Zones That Save Time

The magnetic retention areas are the unsung heroes. During our AR BCG service, we dropped cam pin and firing pin retaining pin onto a magnetic corner and they stayed put—even when we nudged the mat. It’s not an industrial magnet, but it’s perfect for preventing “edge escapes.”

Oil and Solvent Resistance That Holds Up

We tested with CLP, a copper solvent, and a mild degreaser. The surface didn’t soften or discolor, and cleanup took one wipe. No sticky residue or film afterward, and no chemical smell baked into the material.

Grip You Can Trust

The anti-slip underside stuck well to a laminated workbench and a dining table with a protective pad beneath. Even applying torque to a stubborn muzzle device didn’t shift the mat.

Flat, Comfy, and Quiet

The mat dampens the clink of steel on wood and gives enough cushion to protect finishes without being spongy. Edges lay flat, which helps keep solvent runoff contained on the mat.

What Stood Out vs. Other Gun Mats

– The combination of extra length plus magnetic retention is the sweet spot here—most mats make you pick one.
– Surface texture strikes a nice balance: smooth enough to wipe clean, grippy enough to keep parts from sliding.
– It’s forgiving on nice furniture; if you’re using a multi-purpose table, this mat is a smart insurance policy.

Things to Consider

– If you rely on deep molded trays, note this mat uses flat magnetic zones rather than tall compartments.
– While the magnets keep steel hardware in place, non-magnetic parts still benefit from a small add-on parts tray.

Who It’s For

– AR owners and 1911 tinkerers who want a true rifle-length mat.
– Apartment and small-shop users who need surface protection from oils/solvents.
– DIY gunsmiths who value a stable, non-slip base with simple parts retention.

Who Might Want Something Else

– Benchrest tuners who need heavy-duty built-in compartments or full magnetic trays.
– Travelers who need an ultra-compact, fold-up cloth pad—this is more robust and lengthier by design.
