HELLO GUNLOADS MEMBERS,
EL OSO AGAIN WITH A NEW PRODUCT EVERYONE SHOULD TRY. I SAW AN ADD FOR HOPPE'S ELITE BORE CLEANER AND THOUGHT IF ITS FROM HOPPE'S IT'S WORTH A SHOT. I SENT FOR A FREE SAMPLE TO AVOID SPENDING MY CASH AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.
WHEN IT CAME IN THE MAIL I COULDN'T WAIT TO GIVE IT A TRY. MY S.S. VAQUERO WAS CHOSEN AS MY TEST SUBJECT, SO I WENT OUT AND GOT IT DIRTY WITH SOME NICE LEAD HANDLOADS.WHEN I THOUGHT IT WAS DIRTY ENOUGH I CAME IN AND TOOK IT APART.
WHEN I OPENED THE NEW CLEANER I NOTICED SOMETHING WAS WRONG,WHERE WAS THAT FAMOUS HOPPE'S SMELL? THINKING THIS WAS NOT MY NORMAL HOPPE'S I TURNED TO THE DIRECTIONS(THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I NORMALLY DO)IT SAID SOAK A PATCH RUN IT THROUGH THE BORE AND LET SIT A FEW MINUTES.
I THEN HIT IT WITH THE BORE BRUSH A FEW PASSES THEN ANOTHER PATCH. THE PATCH CAME OUT FILTHY SO ANOTHER SOAKED WENT DOWN THE BORE ,THIS ONE WAS JUST LIGHTLY SOILED. A DRY PATCH THAT WAS NEXT CAME OUT CLEAN.
I SPRAYED SOME ON THE TOP STRAP AND FRONT OF THE CYLINDER,LET THEM SIT THEN HIT THEM WITH A BRUSH AND WIPED ALL THE GRIME AWAY. THE CYLINDER LOOKER NEW I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. I HAVE TO SAY IF GUN CLEANING IS NOT AT THE TOP OF YOUR
LIST OF FUN CHORES GIVE THIS HOPPE'S ELITE A TRY.
WE DO NEED TO SEE IF THEY CAN ADD THAT WONDERFUL HOPPE'S 9 SMELL, THEN IT WOULD BE PERFECT.
