Has anyone on here ever used barbasol shaving cream to clean the inside of their gun barrels?
you made my day, and it was the best answer.I was at a national chain 'Indoor Lumberyard' earlier, gathering supplies for a project.
While grabbing a gallon of mineral spirits, I overheard a guy ranting and raving to an employee about how ridiculously expensive wood stains had become, while extolling the virtues of used motor oil and transmission fluid for the same purpose.
He was refinishing his hardwood floors with used motor oil.
However... I was more surprised by the suggestion that shaving cream might be useful as a gun cleaner, than I was by a country bumpkin slathering motor oil on his floors.
I think it would probably be just as effective to use ketchup or Italian dressing. At least then there's a stronger acid component that will do some kind of cleaning, while etching the barrel; and some vegetable oil for lubrication and extra stickiness as it ages.
Tobasco however you will get some very good cleaning results. It will do a wonderful job removing the bluing from your firearm. That I can guarantee you with certainty.Thanks for the humor guys. I needed it. Now back to cleaning my gun with Tabasco.
Someone needs to tell him USED motor oil is a known carcinogen.He was refinishing his hardwood floors with used motor oil..
No, I have not.Has anyone on here ever used Barbasol shaving cream to clean the inside of their gun barrels?
