Let's try this another way. Seems like everything works. Is there a product that doesn't work?
New question. Is today's Hoppe's #9 the same as the old stuff? I don't think it has the same smell I remember, but then again, I can't remember what I had for breakfast

In my book, Ballistol and WD-40 do not work well for some uses. Both will dry and "varnish" up. I've had WD-40 glue the cables up in my plane so bad I had to replace them. I don't use WD-40 for anything any longer. Ballistol, brilliant as it is, also varnishes up so is really good for hosing down the inside of the receiver on a dbl gun that just came out of the sonic cleaner because it will last forever if you let it drip dry. Open the gun 5yrs down the road and it will be exactly as you left it, with no corrosion. I just don't use it on the moving internal parts. I used to finish off every bore cleaning with a coating of it, but, at one point I was shooting an Ithaca 37 I had done that to and after a few shots I couldn't pump the action and had to use more force than was good for the gun to eject the empty. Turned out that the varnished up Ballistol had softened in the heat and had glued the empty shell in the chamber. Took a brush to it and cleaned it out and it was fine. I had it do the same thing to more than on S/S before I figured the problem out. I love the way it protects a bore in long term storage - there's nothing better; you just have to brush it out of the chamber before you shoot the gun again.

Since 1970 I have not seen G96 "varnish" up. It does NOT dry or turn gummy in extreme cold. G96 is the only product I use everywhere in every gun that I own. I have put thousands of rounds through my 1911, Springfield XD and my Pardini. I have NEVER had an functioning issue in any of my guns.
