Cool!

Cool.
The cleaning solvent is probably WWII surplus from when surplus stores really had GI surplus.
If they were 10 cents or something, he probably grabbed them all at once.

The cleaning can are indeed WW II. I have a few left from the olden days. It was intended to clean the bore because of corrosive ammo of the era. james

Man that is very cool!!

Very nice.
I picked up a couple of cans of that GI bore cleaner at a gun show last week.
I will be using it to clean my Milsurp rifles that I have been shooting foreign corrosive ammo in.

Nice. I keep hoping somebody finds 32 long colt and says they don't need em.

That is a great find. Some nice collector stuff there. The collectors would be interested.

sailcaptain thanks, I appreciate it.

Those cans of bore cleaner were very common in surplus store of the late fifties to early sixties. The idea was that they would fit in the bandolier of a Garand belt. I shelled out a total of five bucks for six cans and a 1 gallon can of the same cleaner. Then I learned the awful truth........

Never clean your guns with that stuff if you're dating a woman. STINK is not the word that describes it, and it stays with you for days....gets in your clothes, etc. If you're concerned about corrosive primers, good 'ol Hoppes will do just as good a job and the smell WILL wash off...........eventually.

Hehe. Same thing goes with White Castle sliders. Tried them once before a date.... Cone to think of it don't think there was a 2nd with her[smilie=f:
