"OLD KENTUCKY 2-BALL SOLUTION"

After 5 Years in Development, Experts Agree This is The BEST Black Powder Bore Cleaner on The Market - PERIOD!

Old Kentucky 2-Ball Solution is a remarkable black powder/Pyrodex bore cleaner featuring the "POUR IN - POUR OUT" technique of thoroughly cleaning bores in all muzzleloading weapons.

This patented product dissolves and clarifies all black powder and Pyrodex residue on muzzleloaders and black powder cartridge weapons. 6 or more cleanings can be obtained from our 8oz bottle by re-using the solution until it becomes discolored or the foaming action stops. Old Kentucky 2-Ball solution is a non-acidic, non-petroleum based bore cleaner so it will not damage your gun nor will it strip your gun's seasoning which means you maintain your accuracy.

The Product Is So Simple To Use:

Step 1 - plug up the nipple with a toothpick,

Step 2 - pour in Old Kentucky 2-Ball solution,

Step 3 - wait approximately 10 minutes (and surf ebay for other Hoffman and Wright products!),

Step 4 - empty solution back into the bottle (remember it's reusable!),

Step 5 - run a couple of patches through your barrel. THAT'S IT. No more messy clean-up - EVER!

2-Ball Solution can also be used as a bore wipe and parts cleaner. Field tested with a 93% approval rating from the North American Hunting Club! (And the only bore cleaner ever approved by the North American Hunting Club!) This is truly a revolution in black powder bore cleaning!

If you are not completely satisfied you can return the product for a full refund. We stand behind our belief in this amazing cleaner and our other black powder accessories!

In your post you cite the instructions stating that you may reuse the prduct till it stops foaming. This leads me to suspect that it contains hydrogen peroxide. This is a well known rusting agent that has been tried in bore cleaners before. If you can, lay hands on a bottle check the lable for ingredients/cautionary statements. If it has H.P. I would not use it.

 

[bob1961]

nah i think i will just stick with good ol plain hot water from the tap....don't cost anything and is reusible if i heat it back up :hatsoff: :v ............bob

 

[tom hargrove]

i dont understand the smart assed replys im not selling this stuff i just wanted to know if any one else ever used ,i know you can re-boil water ,and re-use it( if you are that lame) but that dosent answer my question, so why even bother to answer a post if you are only going to make some stupid statement like the above two, :cursing: ever time i post anything that i think will benifit the board i get flamed for it so i will post no more on this forum no wonder we have lost so many good members with the way most questions are answerd now, :cursing: .

 

[Greenmtnboy]

I would be interested on how well it works.
Sounds like the perfect take to huntin camp or rondyvoo cleaning solution where boiling water and cleaning top to bottom is a pain .
:hatsoff:

 

[rabjr]

Two-bellys please, if your not going to like the answeres then don't ask the questions.

so why even bother to answer a post if you are only going to make some stupid statement like the above two

Sorry but I never seen B.Habermehl post a stupid answer to anyones question. When he speaks I suggest you listen.

 

[cowpoke1955]

Why are you so bent out of shape?? You have to watch your blood pressure :shocked2: . I take medication for mine :grin: . These people in here are knowledgable and helpful. They have a good sense of humor, which we all need. There were some responses to the ad, nothing against you. I'll stay with these guys any day.

 

[CrackStock]

Actually, I was going to tweak Bob for using hot water. I think that cold water will do the job every bit as well as his hot or any concoction that somebody bottles. You see, the goal should be to clean water soluble residue out of a bore rather than fleecing people for unneeded chemicals.

If you must use chemicals, then try a mild solution of Simple Green and water.

Greetings Two Bellys

I appreciate the post and hope you stay around. After all anytime someone finds something like this (maybe a good idea) the post should be appreciated for the effort if nothing else.

All I got out of your post was a sincere want to post what might be a great idea.

(found this on a web thought id pass it on just for information if not .ok to do so just deleate it.)

Didn't look to me like you were trying to peddle anything either,

take care

Another thought:

this medium of communitcation sometimes leads to misunderstandings in what was meant to be said or how something was supposed to sound. It is different from sitting around a fire with some folks and talking about a subject where you can HEAR the way they are meaning it to sound.

Guess what I am saying is that at times ALL of us should perhaps give a little lattitude to a post being made and not be too harsh. And on the other hand one needs to have a thick skin also at times, cause this ol' world is sometime pretty harsh!

Take care

The post cautioning against peroxide was anything but stupid, just sound advise, as was the suggestion to use watrer, many "better" formulas have come and gone, most experienced shooters stick to the basics, as the replys have proven, nothing smart ass just good advise if one wishes to throw away money and possible damage a gun go ahead it is a personal choice, and watch the door on the way out.

 

[Maynerd62411]

I've never seen any that foam, but I've used T/C #13 cleaner and one called Black Duck. They both work well.
No matter who says it, I just cringe at the idea of pouring water into a gun barrel. It just goes against everything I've ever learned about steel vs. moisture. I know, everyone says if you dry it out real good and oil it....., but it still doesn't fly by me. I just can't bring myself to do it. :nono:

 

[Cherokee]

Just thought I would add this, I dont meant to jack your thread.
Use really hot water and after cleaning the hot metal parts will dry the water in the nooks and crannies.
In WW2 thats what was used. Water was heated in a container big enough to hold the barreled action in and scrub it.
Water was so hot you could barely hold the metal.
You shook out the barrel when done cleaning and oiled it up thats how it was done.

Two-bellys: No. I haven't used it.
It was thoughtfull of you to make us aware it exists and perhaps someone here has used it so, before you get fed up with us, let's see what turns up.

In the meantime, I just have to say that I didn't think either of the first two replys were attacking you in any way, let alone "flameing" you.
In fact, neither post said a thing about you or your posting the information. They just indicated a concern that it might contain harmful ingrediants and a statement that they would not want to try it.
I myself had the same thoughts when I read the part about the "foaming" although in addition to hydrogen peroxide I was also wondering about vinegar (which also foams when it's applied to BP fouling).

That really hot water leads to Flash Rusting. I have found that luke warm or even cool water works just as well and i don't get the rust. Just my $.02

 

[rabbit03]

Hmmmmm can bores be seasoned as I have believed???

nor will it strip your gun's seasoning which means you maintain your accuracy.


could it be? OK OK another topic for this one I know,

That's exactly how I saw it too. The original post had my curiosity up about a new product. The following was a warning to watch out for peroxide, which is sound advice, and the next one was just bein' funny.

I used to managed a large IRC chat channel and I've seen how sometimes it's easy to misunderstand text. Our brains are tuned to read expression, voice inflection and a myriad of other clues that are missing in the typed medium.

 

[WV_Hillbilly]

No...
I have never seen, or heard of this product before, nor seen/read advertising, nor have any friends that know about it or have used it. It almost sounds too good to be true. I guess that could be said about every black powder cleaning product that is on the market today.

Thanks for the post. I will see if I can get some or talk to someone (at the manufacturers) about it.

Regards, and shoot safely!

PS If you find some and try it, let us know whay you thinki

That's been my experience too. I use warm water, but not hot. I haven't had any flash rusting ever since. I've heard of using 91% rubbing alcohol to dry out any remaining moisture, but after an unpleasant experience from spilling some in my lap, I went back to using Ballistol to displace the water.
