It's from a company called Tekmat. Don't buy direct, it's cheaper on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/TekMat-12-Inch-36-Inch-Cleaning-Imprint/dp/B0036N474S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1457014902&sr=8-1&keywords=tekmat

Just a simple setup would be, in no particular order:
 
 
That's what i can think of off the top of my head, you probably won't need all of that if you only plan on building a lower first. It'll be useful down the line to get most of those tools, but i'd go with first:
If you have Amazon Prime, there's quite a bit of stuff you can get on there, it's where i got most of my tools.
 
^Edit: ^Formatting.
For that money id buy another ar15 gun cleaning mat
Its actually a gun cleaning mat, but its exactly the same material as any normal mouse pad! Amazon Link Here
Are all of these brand new?
Looks like the handgun ones have plastic wrap but wasn't sure about the long gun ones.
Amazon is selling some of these/similar products for similar pricing.
Here's a cheaper version of the AR mat.
Has anyone here ever used a gun cleaning mat as a mousepad? Considering they are just as big and about half the price of a "gaming" extended mousepad.
What I was thinking
> Tek Mat
$19.88
The exact one.
Search "TekMat" on Amazon for a ton and pick your favorite gun.
A lot of people like to use them as mousepads because they're pretty much the same as the cloth gaming mousepads, but you get more area for cheaper.

here you go brother. i hope you enjoy it as much as i do
Amazon
Edit: http://amzn.com/B0036N474S
also won't move around the way small mouse pads do. I have a Medium Razer Goliathus and that stupid thing keep slipping around cuz it doesn't have enough friction with the table. I'm going to look into getting one of these bigass mousepads. I think for the price this is the best bet as it seems many many people use it.
Your wallpapers made me think of this series of gun cleaning mats, which someone here was using one for their setups: https://www.amazon.com/Tekmat-AR-15-Black-Long-36-AR15-BK/dp/B0036N474S

Amazon. TekMat 12-Inch X 36-Inch Long Gun Cleaning Mat https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0036N474S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_N8LZSTMdkKIdZ
Here you go.
It's a TekMat and they're pretty neat.
Amazon
They make a bunch of different ones too.
http://www.amazon.com/TekMat-12-Inch-36-Inch-Cleaning-Imprint/dp/B0036N474S/

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0036N474S
Don't have one myself but have heard some people love using these gun cleaning mats as mouse pads, the graphics on them are super cool plus they're big enough to cover under your keyboard and mouse!
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0036N474S?pc_redir=1407821435&robot_redir=1
The mousepad is actually a gun cleaning mat from Tekmat. They come in a variety of sizes depending on the type of gun blueprint that you choose. I also recommend these speakers if you can find them on craiglist or a yard sale. You just need to do a crossover upgrade (kits and tutorials are available with a little Googling) and they will blow any other bookshelf speakers with a MUCH higher price range out of the water.
Here's a link to the AR15 mat: http://www.amazon.com/TekMat-12-Inch-36-Inch-Cleaning-Imprint/dp/B0036N474S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427589159&sr=8-1&keywords=tekmat
haha, I was wondering if somebody would ask about that.
Here you go.
Also, they sell gun mats, too.
AR15 Mat.
I prefer the computer mat because it's huge! But that is the downside as well, takes up a lot of space.
Something like this? https://www.amazon.com/TekMat-12-Inch-36-Inch-Long-Cleaning/dp/B0036N474S
Had it. It was okay. I highly prefer a TekMat for a similar price.
$11 - Slightly smaller - 1911 handgun
$20 - Full keyboard size - AR15 Rifle
Edit - They also make those for many other guns. I have the MP-5 at work and the Desert eagle at home.
I got it from here
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0036N474S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_KSwNwbYZADZ3X
And here their official site http://www.tekmat.com/ar-15.html

Linky
Not a mousepad as far as I understand. You can use it as one if you like tough.
http://www.amazon.com/TekMat-12-Inch-36-Inch-Cleaning-Imprint/dp/B0036N474S
It is something like this (not sure if it is the exact one, but similar enough).
You can usually just get them on Amazon. Seems like they're currently OOS, like many other online retailers.
Here's the link, for what its worth.
Where, not why. I know why, that's why I want one too, plus I actually could use it for it's original purpose, stripping an AR-15. But a quick google search answered my question.
JK Found it on amazon lol http://www.amazon.com/TekMat-12-Inch-36-Inch-Cleaning-Imprint/dp/B0036N474S
TekMat - They were popular on reddit awhile ago.
Quite a few people also seem to use a TekMat.
Edit: Also /r/askbattlestations
Its probably a Tek Mat. They're for gun cleaning / assembly, but its literally the same material as a cloth mousepad.
https://www.amazon.com/TekMat-12-Inch-36-Inch-Long-Cleaning/dp/B0036N474S
Just search for TekMat on amazon and you should be able to find a ton of different guns.
Try this out: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0036N474S/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/179-4578302-9900341
Tekmat

There’s a bunch on amazon
I use Tekmat's bench mats - originally intended for cleaning long guns as it has exploded views of the guns, but I use one at work and one at home- I LOVE them. They're cheaper than the computer branded stuff (corsair and razer carry them but for a much higher price) at around $20-22 average. Way more than enough space for keyboard, mouse and HOTAS setup to all fit comfortably on it.

Not to mention they look awesome.
Slightly cheaper

This one says its made of Thermoplastics
A friend got it for me.
I found an AR 15 one after a quick google search on Amazon.ca
I'm sure they have the gun you want there somewhere
Look into TekMat, they make cleaning mats for guns but the material they use is the same as all the HQ mouse pads around for a much cheaper price. I use this one and love it, plenty of room and never slides around on my desk.
I would like to know how different is this mouse mat compared to a gun mat. Have been wanting to get a huge mouse mat for a while.
The first one. Cheap-ish, big, looks neat

Here you go my good man
As far as ammo is concerned, it depends what he shoots - $60 is probably not going to get you much although I'm sure he'd appreciate it.
Ammo can "hamper" full of of cleaning supplies, gun socks & cleaning mats?

Or one for an AR-15, like in the OP: http://www.amazon.com/AR-15-M-16-Rifle-Gun-Cleaning/dp/B0036N474S/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1323211503&sr=1-2-fkmr0
don't know how the OP got his in yellow, though.

A lot of people who are really into big mouse pads will get these AR-15 Cleaning Mats. It's longer than 28 inches, but you could cut it shorter. Why the length constraint, just desk space?
the one in the second link is a Tekmat for cleaning weapons, but it's made of the same stuff mousepads are.
Thanks! It's a TekMat - though I got mine on Amazon for the free shipping. I'm probably going to get the AR-15 one next so I can fit my mouse on there as well.
And nice choice with the XD9SC :D I'm a big fan of the Springfield lineup, and am now considering either an XD-S or 1911 of some variety for my next purchase. That probably won't be for awhile though with my mech KB habit.
You can also use gun cleaning mats, I've used this one since 2015 and it doesn't even look very worn.
