Ballistol

[Dr5x]

Zomie,
The point I was trying to make was if you pulled rust there had to have been water in some variety involved in the cleaning method.
If you are no longer pulling rust with whatever you are doing you have solved the problem.

My method is to avoid the problem by using as little water as possible.

All is well when we all arrive at the same successful conclusion.

I think my aversion to "Hot Soapy Water is that my Mom used it as an active ingredient in 1930's enemas which shea[[aently felt solved everything.

Thank God those are no longer in vogue, Dutch.

Kansas Jake,
Oh, they still are. The night before many operations the nurse comes in with a "Fleet Enema"
If you die on the operating table you will to redecorate just about everything and everybody.
The Fleet enema is to remove all your ammunition..



I guess I can't blame them,

That is where the expression, "Fleet of foot" came from. :rotf:

 

[Skychief]

From an innocent query regarding Ballistol to chatting about enemas....I love this forum!!!

Carry on, Skychief. :haha:

Ballistol enema?

Del?....Is that you?

 

[Dr5x]

No, not Ballistol enemas, It was Ballistol in stead of Hot soap Water rifle cleaning methods that hark back to the more universal 1930 practice pf solving all problems including, perhaps, disciplinary problems with an enthusiastic flushing out at the departure gate.

I saw my pain management MD and he felt a lot of my problem away at the end ofm my spinal column was arthritis which would be good news a I have had a lot of good luck curing that. as I have done so a few times in the past.

There are many reasons your medical team might need you to have a clean gut, but avoiding a mess if you die in surgery is not one of them.

Spence, you are destroying all my childhood illusions.
That reason for the enema was carefully given to me by a kind andpossibluy misleading nurse..

Perhaps it was just an easier answer to my question..

In any case Dutch, her explanation must have diminished any fears going into the procedure!

Best regards, Skychief

 

[Dr5x]

Nothing diminished my fear of the operation. It was for a 4 way by pass where they switch your circulation over to a machine while they they can chop and patch on your now quiet heart. You are legally deaf, I beeves during the fun part of this missing about, then they give it a jolt of some sort to get it running again and then switch you back.
In the middle of all this my anesthesia wore off and my right hand decided to help out. lots of yelling, and then I came completely awake.
No I was a fraud of the operation and retroactively still.. I was told the operation gave me five more years of taxpaying life and that was 25 years ago.

There are no Foxholes in the operating rooms,

The only time I would be able to be fleet of foot anymore would be if I saw someone coming at me with a enama bag and hose. :haha:

 

[Bon Sauvage]

If it was a catheter you would run faster still.

 

[smoothshooter]

Maybe the old crud it loosened up is what gummed up the works?

I have not had that experience at all.
Use it mostly on my percussion revolvers.
No complaints.

 

[smoothshooter]

Didn't know turpentine worked for that?
Is it better than Hoppe's #9 at lead removal?
How about copper fouling?

 

[Ray-Vigo]

I use Ballistol and warm water to clean the bore after shooting. I then dry the bore and use pure Ballistol as a preservative. It works fine in this way - better in my experience than Hoppe's gun oil as a preservative.
