Cleaning Smell

[elcaBob]

When cleaning my guns, I like to use good ol' Hoppes #9. However, I have a newborn in the house and need to start using something without the heavy smell. I've seen other threads giving advice about good/bad cleaners, but none about which ones do a good job without the snortin' paint thinner high.

(And, yes, I've considered just taking it all outside. Sometimes, I like to sit at my desk and clean inside the house.)

Any suggestions?

Get rid of the lil' critter! Then you just clean the way you always have! You do know they're just 18 years of trouble right?


LOL!! J/K!

Yeah, my saudiarabia.craigslist.com ad for the kid hasn't had any hits, either. I don't get it!

I say smear a little of that good ol' #9 on the little feller's chest and get him used to it. Pretty soon, he'll be cleain' irons right along with ya!

And BTW...I'm giving my grandson a bottle of Break-Free CLP in his Christmas stocking!

CLP and Hoppe's are preferred no doubt, but Rem Oil has worked well for cleaning my guns after a range visit. I don't think it would clean serious leading, but for getting the oils from handling and powder residue off, it has worked for me.

I have an 18-month old and used Rem Oil for this same reason.

Another reason to only use Wipeout.

hoppes #9 is nasty and useless.

I know you have been on this list longer than I and can fix guns with the best of them but I just gotta say....


That's 3 points off your man card.

Amen to that!

Smells like being a big kid with my dad. It is surely in my top 5.
