I suspect that the cloth diapers are the commercial diapers. Remember the days when diapers were picked up washed and returned? These diaper were sold off after a number of washings, usually to paper mills for making high grade paper.

Maybe you could just use a long soft paint brush after you clean with your regular cloth. It works really well on the exterior of my rifles and handguns, leaves them lentless.

I can't confirm their lint free nature but you should be able to still get cloth diapers, We used them as cleaning cloths when the kids were infants. Basically, they were just very soft, small towels.
Also, I have used Scott paper towels to wipe excess linseed oil from gunstocks and found them to be very lint free. Try them, if they don't work go clean the kitchen with them.
cloth diapers make wonderful shop towels but I would think they're a bit thick for a wipe rag. As posted, a tee shirt that has gone thru many washings is good. I also will buy kitchen dish rags (not the towels) and run them through the washer several times.
Try these - http://www.uttings.co.uk/Produ...er-rifle-clean-4730/ - they are very good. They are a lot thinner than the lint cotton patches. You could even try to wrap a normal soft cotton patch with the Napier patch to get a good tight fir & scrub.
