Searched forum for this before posting but could not find it having been posted before. (Site contains making own sizing lube, etc as well.)

Reminded me of making sizing lube years ago from anhydrous lanolin and STP

Hopefully it is not totally redundant.

No, just completely

Eds Red is a great item on there. Mr J Schaffer ( da Frog) is a really intersting person and you can e mail him questions and comments.
Read some of his stuff on the home page,lot of every day stuff as well as other gun related topics.

I have to learn to use the 'search' function better.

(Been away from guns/shooting for so long that every 'old' bit of wisdom is like a 'numinous' experience to me.)

Thanks for adding the 'smileys.'

Some guy gave me all kinds of grief on another forum about not using the search function. Guess I asked a question that had been "beat to death" as he called it. I looked up his posts and the only thing he ever did was buy and sell.

I politely explained that I doubt there is any new question on any topic on any forum that has not been asked at some time or another. Therefore all forums should be shut down as there is nothing new to ask.

Can I use +p's in that? What's a good Bear handgun etc, etc,

I was just kidding you, I think his site is great. I always find new stuff to read on it. I make a lot of homemade stuff and I hope to have one of mine added to his site.

I understand.

Actually, I anticipated I might possibly have missed something but went ahead anyway as his site is pretty vast; plus I thot some newer (than even me ) members might not have thot to search for the topic.

Have safe holidays.

Dont worry about. I am what has already been stated by another guy about himself in another post as "search challenged."

I made coat hanger scrapers in the Army for my M-16

I like putting a bore brush in my screw gun to clean out the .38 rings in my 686 cylinders.

I go to the paint store for a large box of rags at 20.00, and cut them down to fit my bores.

Old t-shirts, old med bottles. My cleaning bench I have carpet squares. When they get too dirty I replace them.

I get the bag of painters cloths at Wally Mart and cut them down also. Plus all my old t shirts.

I got my first .22 rifle for Christmas 1959. It was old even then. I was 9. My dad showed me how to clean the bore, a method I still use occasionally. You take a bobby pin and attach a piece of thread (nylon if you have it), and tie a piece of cloth to other end. You drop the bobby pin through the bore then pull the cloth through it. It must work as I still have the rifle and it shoots great. I've had her 51 years next month.
Peace,

My father bought me a Ted Williams 22 from sears 32 years ago. My 4 kids have all learned to shoot with it.

OMG, you didn't patent it?? You invented the BORE snake. Think of the past royalties.

Take an old Berdan primed bottleneck range pickup and squeeze the neck flat in a vise. Makes a great lead scraper. When it gets dull, throw it in the scrap bucket and squeeze another...
