I Love The Smell Of Hoppe's No.9 In The Morning!
I picked up two Remington 572 Fieldmasters when my BIL died. He had a bunch of firearms. These two are smooth bore, basically 22 caliber shotguns. Rumor has it that these are no longer made and are kind of rare, so since I have no use for them so I figure to list them on GB.
Any way, back to the story; It was raining and shitty this morning so I drag them out to clean them up, and then one thing leads to another. I ended up spending the last five hours cleaning and taking care of a lot of the lesser used firearms I own. Damn shame how easy it is to get behind in taking care of something that important. I feel better now that much is done. Thought about going out back and shooting some, but rain and the wind is gusting 35 - 40 MPH.

Yep. It's too easy to get behind on gun cleaning. While I live in a low humidity part of the country, I can get away with being negligent, every once in a while.
I can imagine how much trouble you can get into if you neglect your firearms if you live in an area of high humidity.

I agree, Hoppe's smells great. I spent Sunday wiping mine down with Ballistol, another of my favorite smells. My wife doesn't agee with me...

I still say that the man who comes up with a cologne that smells like Hoppe's 9 will become a millionaire.

I used to have a Hoppe's #9 air freshener hanging on the mirror in my truck. I don't believe that they are available anymore though.

I periodically drag my rifles & pistols out of the vault and clean/oil them...even when they don't need it.

Reminds me of the scene in "Police Academy 2" where Tackleberry is getting ready for a date and is patting cologne on his neck. Mahoney asks "What kind of cologne is that." Tackleberry replies "Gun oil."
