Why would the changes drive away older members? The fact that Google will now index this site -- that it will recommend this site when people search using Google is about the single best way I can think of to attract new members...

I buy a gallon of mineral spirits for $16.99. Works just as well since they reformulated #9 -- it used to have some nasty stuff in it. I oil my guns with Mobil 1. I bought a 5 quart jug of it for $19.99 some time ago. Seems to work just fine.

Keep in mind there are a few variables to consider in addition to cost and level of security. There is also protection from fire, protection from humidity, and the sort of neighborhood you live in. There is also the question if you want your collection on display for your own benefit? A...

I think those comments began (in terms of AR15s) when individuals began trying to justify their purchases (during the high demand/high priced days) once prices plummeted.

Which discussions (you may choose up to three) tend to make you feel the most nauseous?

Is Ed's Red as a general bore cleaner, plastic wad remover, and carbon solvent really any good or is it just an old wives' tale? Here is one recipe: 1 part Dexron II, IIe or III Automatic Transmission Fluid 1 part K1 Kerosene 1 part Aliphatic Mineral Spirits or Stodard Solvent/Varsol 1...

You bring up a good point. Hickok45 soaked (submerged) some factory ammo in WD40 for weeks if I remember. They then shot just fine...

Very interesting... I don't see anything above that would create a varnish residue. I don't know for certain, but I would guess that Ballistol is almost identical to WD40 except that one (Ballistol) is alcohol-based and one is naphtha-based.

I think WD-40 got a bad name with guns beginning with one infamous incident. Someone (maybe a LEO?) had carried a revolver for years. He occasionally sprayed it down with WD-40 (wiping off the excess.) He did this for a prolonged period without ever actually shooting the revo. Well, when it...

It's a spoof but it's still funny:

You're right. The out-and-out paranoia expressed by some regarding WD40 is pretty silly. It has its places. Cleaning, water displacement (WD) and as a light lube. If a different type of lube is needed, there are tons on the market.

I think you're quite incorrect, but you bring up a very important point. Those who deem themselves to be "conservative" often for some reason are unwilling to take part in the political process -- any political process. In my church for example, while it has gotten better over the years...

Yup! Good point!

Why didn't you vote on the poll?

Dear Deanimator and RX-79G: Please dial it back a bit. Both of you. Your collective actions lead to threads being locked.

Probably a lot of truth to that. I'm planning a camping trip on some family property in 2017. I am going to take every gun I own -- including the two wall hangers. I am going to do nothing but shoot and clean (or just clean in case of the wall hangers.) Should make for a cool three day...

Please read what I actually wrote (emphasis added):

Thank you very much for your comments and information.

Poor analogy. I never said anything about keeping my guns in my living room.

Thanks for your comments. I use the analogy of a fine painting or work of sculpture. People who collect such art definitely take precautions but they typically don't keep their art in a safe. I'm beginning to feel the same about my firearms. I wouldn't advertise their existence to anyone...
