Vaseline can be a cheap and effective preservative if you're going to put weapons in long-term storage. Just make sure to remove it thoroughly before using the gun. Stuff ignites - which is why I always carry vaseline-soaked cotton balls when backpacking. Stuff makes a great firestarter.

Wow, I'm sure glad I checked in on the banter this morning.  No telling what you will learn!  Morning fellas.  Raz, how did your return visit to the range go?

+1 on glad you checked in, Sly. Hope all is well. Another +1 on the interesting factoid about petroleum jelly. I guess that makes a lot of sense. Just never thought of it.

Works like a charm. Throw a spark at a Vaseline-soaked cotton ball and it lights right up and burns for several minutes, even in wet conditions.

I wonder if those (flaming) could be shot out of a tube?

Had to catch a little nap.

Dave, you got a preference for gun oil/cleaner?
Hoppes #9?

This is like opening Pandora's Box these days, there are a lot of good products availability.  Hopes #9 is still a good bore cleaner and probably very adequate.

I currently use:

M-Pro 7 Gun Cleaner for the bore

Break Free CLP General Purpose Clean and Lube (Amazon r Walmart). Ballistol found at Amazon Link is also very good.

Lots of folks use Frog Lube these days also

Rem Oil Wipes for just a general wipe down protectant  (Walmart)

There are many other good choices just don't use WD40 or such on your guns.

so I take it Virgin Olive Oil is out too?
thanks Dave.

As is KY and Vasoline

Well, I didn't fall in a hole, so I guess that's success.

Yay (applause)!

But then yesterday - the second anniversary of the injury - I had a little mishap with a ladder and thought I might have reinjured the leg. Doesn't appear so, but the leg lets me know every so often that it isn't happy with me.  And the whole thing gave me a touch of PTSD. Combination of panic and horror. I had to quit working on the house and have a cigar and a couple of drinks.

I was on the Famous Auction site last week and got the itch to buy a few items.

$18.00   Arturo Fuente 858 5 Pack Candela 6x47
$13.00   Alec Bradley Connecticut Robusto 5 Pack 5x50
$14.00   Brick House Toro 5 Pack 6x52
$6.00   (2) Sucker Punch Lights Out 5x52
$10.50   (3) Perdomo Champagne Robusto 5x54

I've never tried a Candela, so I thought for $18 and Arturo Fuente, I didn't think that was too bad of a deal...  I also wanted a Connecticut, and Picked up the Alec Bradley for $13 which I thought was a good deal.  I couldn't pass up the Brick House...  I have tried a Sucker Punch in the past and liked it, so I picked up a couple of those and Perdomo Champagne's...
