Cant believe it

[Gambit88]

So after I got home from the live shoot ill admit I was exhausted and fell asleep. The next night I remembered I had a musket to clean. After all was said and done I ran out to the store. When I came home I couldnt help but notice a weird smell. No idea what it was. I could smell it from the basement so I went to investagate it It seems to have gotten worse the closer I got to the sink. Then it hit me. Sulpher. I cant believe I missed it. I need to rinse the sink better next time.

So that's what that weird smell was! I smelled it all the way over here on the northeast coast.

They say old Beelzebub smells like Sulphur too you know..!

My first couple of times cleaning up from a day of shooting the Holy Black I was pretty disgusted with the smell. But by the end of the season of using my Remington clones in CAS matches I actually enjoy the smell of the cleaning. I guess it reminds me of peering through the clouds of smoke as I dispatch those dastardly steel curmudgeons that mean to do harm to my town....

Just wait until you come home and decide to use the bath tub to clean the rifles. Mama was not, repeat- not a happy camper.

Went outside and thought the local chemical plant had a release -- sulfur odor. Must have been you.

"Hmmmm...someone been eating Egg salad again?"

I've started spraying them down with Ballistol before bath time and it's reduces to odor 90% it seems. I did a pair of Dragoons the other day in the kitchen sink and not a word from the war department. Is it possible the egg salad at lunch masked the odor?

Burned popcorn works like a charm.

Sorry Ol Scratch actually smells like a mix of fruit loops and beef stew had to chase him away with a 51 and silver bullets blessed by the irish father. Anyways My drain backs up from time to time when the sink is overloaded so I think that attributed to the smell.

I don't think I've quite gotten the hang of cleaning my Remington just yet. It still smells faintly of charcoal after I clean it. But it doesn't rust and I like it, so I think I'll keep doing it that way!
