What are the smells that you love about shooting...
Me, its Hoppes No 9.
Me, its Hoppes No 9.
esmith has already mentioned it, but I gotta put in a plug for Cosmoline (the substance, not the THR member-- no, wait, I don't mean to denigrate Cosmoline the THR member at all, mind you, I like him just fine, but I have no idea what he smells like, um, wait a minute, I'm not saying that I'm particularly interested in what he smells like, not that I'm suggesting that he might have a particular odor or anything, though of course we all have our own particular scent due to pheromones and suchlike, and... uh... what were we talking about? Oh yeah.) When I open my safe, the Mosins render their delightful musty "I'm a really old gun that has been slathered in a preservative substance, and I'm gonna make you pick me up and pay attention to me by wafting that aroma towards your nose and heart" smell. I've cleaned 'em and cleaned 'em and it never goes away, and I think they like it that way.
