Re:

Breakfree or Militec.....

What's the best-smelling gun oil?

Back in the late 50s I was in Western Europe and discovered a product called "Ballistol". I think it was manufactured in West Germany; I remember buying it first in Switzerland. It worked well enough, but I especially liked the smell of it.
When I returned to the States, I could not find it anywhere, so I sighed, shrugged and went on to other products. Then, a few years ago, I learned that "Ballistol" is available in the US. I hurried to mail-order a small aerosol can of it, and eagerly sprayed some onto a metal surface and sniffed it. It wasn't the Ballistol I remembered! Either the manufacturer has changed the formula or I'm going senile. (Hmm. It occurs to me that the two alternatives outlined here are *not* mutually exclusive.)

Hoppes #9, followed closely by cosmoline.

Of course, I also like the smell of burnt gunpowder. No, not Wolf, but Winchester white box.

Hoppe's #9 of course.

Anything else is unacceptable.

SLightly OT even though I shoot/clean every week, the first whiff of CLP always puts me right back at Parris Island...as does the smell of rain hitting a hot July asphalt "Grinder"

The smell of Break free CLP and Hoppes always puts me at ease whenever I walk into my workshop.

Not too many milsurpers, I see (or, maybe many that have cleaned cosmo off one too many guns )

I don't know how you guys say CLP doesn't smell. It's about the smelliest to me.

I like FP-10 too.

Fp-10.

Hoppe's "orange bottle." Odorless.

KY warming jelly
The jelly people realy outdid them selves.

Oil: FP-10

Solvent: Hoppe's No.9

I like Ballistol as a product but it smells like stinky feet! Likewise, Kroil is an excellent solvent/penetrating agent but it REEKS.

While not a petroleum product, I like Thompson Center's Bore Butter. Always thought it smelled like Ben Gay. Season your muzzleloader and treat sore/aching muscles with the same product.

Hoppe's #9
I also like the smell of that pine scented T/C bore butter.
But I like a good hit of anhydrous ammonia every so often at work, too. Smells like money to a refrigeration guy

FP-10 smells good enough to put on pancakes.

After breaking the onerous and tough to quit habit of chewing tobaco, my favorite being kodiak wintergreen, the first time I smelled Bore Butter, I kind of got the shakes.

Hoppe'd #9, my wife loves it when I clean the guns in the living room .

Birchwood Casey Sheath followed closely by Breakfree CLP.

G-96 best solvent - oil product for firearms

Smells excellent to boot.

I use G96, I like the smell... Now Bore butter smells and tastes like those wax lips and teeth we used to get when we were kids... I am glad it's non-toxic, cause I ate some.

I can't believe no one has yet asked WHY this thread was started !

But I'll play along... FP-10 is my all-purpose cologne with a dash of Boeshield T9 thrown in for good measure.

I will also concur with an earlier reply however... that you'd be hard pressed to beat Eezox when you want to make a lasting impression during a brief encounter with the doll of your dreams...
