Clean?

Yep. All bets are off when I take out the Hoppes #9.

More like a strong fondness. I would spend more time shooting, but life gets in the way. I don't tend to name objects, but the GP100 is "M'Gun." My bike named herself. I grew up on a farm, so, to put this into perspective, my grandpa had about twenty beagles--- most didn't have names. We had about fifty barn cats--- none of them were named. Later, my step dad raised fox/coon hounds (Walkers) and he only had 3-4 names that he used on all of them! We didn't name cows, chickens, or hogs. If a device or object speaks to me, I might name it. The Scion has no name, unless you count "the grey box." My wife's Corolla might have a name; I'll have to ask her. My current favorite gun is an 1858 Remington black powder revolver--- no name, but it's a lot of fun to shoot! I call my Savage 110 .30-06 "the Nailer." I don't have a name for my Norinco JW-15, unless you count "JW." :weirdo:

You know, one of the major ingredients in Hoppe's is amyl acetate. That's better known as banana oil. I'll just leave that fact lying around waiting for the wrong interpretation.
:lol:

Fukshot for the win.

Rumor has it that Hoppe's #10 got Amyl Nitrate put in it. Entire shipments never make it to gun shops.

Truth be told, I only "love" the guns that I've made. I double my pleasure by handloading for those rifles to give me the best groups. To me, rare is the better feeling than shooting a gun I made and hitting exactly what I aim at time after time. Also, truth be told, sometimes I'll take out the ones I've finished with pine tar just to smell the mix of pine tar and Hoppe's...
