Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith

#9 is OK but I prefer the smell of my 1911 after a cleaning then lube with FP-10.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

I bought some last year.  I was disappointed because the smell did not last very long.  I have a bottle of old formula Hoppe's that I use for aroma theropy now and then....chris3

I love that smell.  Bespeaks autumn sunlight crackling through the colored leaves.  Bespeaks a fireplace while you clean the goose gun, with smelly doggy-steam rising off the stil-damp dog lolling by that fireplace. Bespeaks a cool evening after a hot day squirrel hunting.  Before the leaf-burning ban, it mingled enticingly with the smoke of burning leaves from somewhere, reminding you of so many past days spent afield.

Truly, the Lord does not subtract those hours spent with Hoppe's heady aroma from your allotted three score and ten years.

Truly.

A friend once told me that he'll know that he found "the one" when he found a woman that smelled like Hoppe's.  Last I knew he was still looking and hoping.

Well she doesn't smell like Hoppe's, but my wife LOVES to smell it on me...

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Only thing better to hear is "Of course he bought two grenade launchers. What silly idiot would only buy a SINGLE grenade launcher?"

I am rather fond of Hoppe's. I use Breakfree most of the time, because I got a couple gallons of it for free. But Hoppe's 9 is ... legendary.

When mine loses the smell, I'll just pour some from the bottle onto the cardboard.

Wanna sell it?
I also think we should petition Hoppe's to go back to the original scent. This still smells good, but isn't quite the same.

The purchase of a single grenade launcher/gun/knife/explosive device/flare launcher will be viewed as a gift. For me.

I'm a rebel.

I only use Breakfree.  Never even purchased any Hoppe's.

I like the smell of Breakfree just fine, thankyouverymuch.

I used up all my Breakfree lubing my bikes.

No love for FP-10!

Don't get me wrong, Hoppes is a better cleaner but FP-10 makes a pretty gun smell like it looks.

You have a Vera Bradley bag that you carry gun/gear in? That's so cool! Have you seen the Laurel Burch bags? Similar style but with cats and dogs and a few other critters too.  http://www.colorfulcritters.com/doglovers.aspx

It happened to be the best bag, in terms of size and distrubution of pockets for that day. The fact that it is a over priced designer bag that mom bought me at the Homestead had nothing to do with it.  :angel: (OK, so it's pretty. I like pretty)
