I know, Dave. I know.

Maybe I should use it on the 10/32 and 12/30 DH's I have for sale and it will help get them sold. I need to build-up my gun fund.

Yep, Ballistol for everything. inside and out. Ballistol is mineral oil based. Don't know that it has citrus in it. Mineral oil is an alkane that is the final product left over from crude oil after everything else is refined out.

I also use Ballistol. Spray it on a rag - then wipe the firearm, both metal and wood. A little goes a long way, and after a few times, you begin to appreciate the "Ballistol Scent", which - according to my wife - is like the "Man Scent Fabreeze"..???

Balistol basic and original formula developed by the Nazis during WWII due to the scarcity of petroleum and their friendly relationship to Brazil and other S.A. countries. Use of citrus oils are the basic ingredients of the original stuff.

I've always loved the smell of Hoppe's #9. Would be good made into a cologne for men. I use a lamb's wool wipe with either Hoppes or Rem oil. Been meaning to try Ballistol. My Dad for his whole life cleaned both inside and outside his guns with Hoppe's and they are in pristine shape. I guess the moral to this story is don't neglect them, wipe 'em down with something and they will be read to hand down to the next generation in good shape.
