We all have a "weakness" for our hobbies and passions. Perhaps we spend more on some firearms/supplies than we should.

Another example, slightly off topic, is that "CAT" tool you can buy to clean carbon off the bolt of your AR15 rifle..You seen the price they want for that? Nearly thirty bucks!!... Do some people shell out the money for it? You betcha. No way I am spending that kinda money for that little tool.

The marketplace decides on these matters. I just wish businesses in general would be more truthful and forthcoming about their claims and practices.

I looked at the MSDS sheet for Fireclean because of interest in its ingredients. Disappointment! "Proprietary blend" or some such.

I am not familiar with the legal requirements, if any, pertaining to the required data in an MSDS sheet but you would think the Fireclean folks would have listed something a little more specific. Red flag for me.

I did notice its patent application stated it was a "combination of vegetable oils."

Fascinating!

I am always tinkering with different solvents/lubes/preservatives.

Today I put some automatic transmission fluid (ATF for short) on the locking lugs of one of my 700 BDL bolt-action rifles. Will see how it performs over the next several weeks.
