Cpt Dan Blodgett, SASS #75655 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Funny, thursday I went to the range and shot 60 rounds of BP 45/70. Got home, boiled water, threw the brass and a little Ivory Liquid in a bucket and made the mistake of pouring the water into the bucket in the kitchen. The sulpher egg smell was enough to gag a maggot. Needless to say next time will carry hot water outside and then pour in the bucket.

Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 My wife LOVES the smell of BP whether shooting or cleaning. Guess that's why she tolerates me so well.... GG ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulp, SASS#28319 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Bob, does your bathroom have a vent fan in the ceiling? I usually use my man cave for CAS gun cleaning, but I clean my muzzleloader rifle in the bathroom. Flush the toilet a couple of times, squirt a bit of Murphy's down the barrel, stick breech in toilet, scrub barrel and flush. Then I have instant rinse water. The toilet method will also work for SXS shotguns. BP fouling may stink, but it doesn't stink any worse that some of the other stuff I flush down the toilet. You may now thank me for the smell you now can't get out of your nose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Bullweed Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I make every effort to clean my irons at the match after helping put away targets. There is usually enough time before the scoring is finalized to get this done. If not cleaned at the range, then vinegar-based Windex does not smell as bad as some other concoctions. Ballistal smells much less than Hoppes guncleaner. She who must be obeyed is kept happily unaware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box Herder, SASS 73857 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Bob Bob you have it all wrong- See- you get your wife shooting and turn her to the dark side. Then you get to but more guns since she is shooting also plus she helps with the cleaning. Since she has turned now the smell and mess is not a big problem. Let me know how it turns out and dammmit put your foot down! I am going out now to load for this weekend monthly for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 Well, I bought my wife an ultrasonic cleaner for Mother's Day this year. BOB.... as I recall..... you have a MAN CAVE(?) It is detached from the house and on cold mornings takes a lonnng time to warm up with the small heater. I usually clean there but the frost was on the pumkin this a.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
