    Favorite gun smells

    What's your favorite gun related smells.

    Mine...probably Hoppys #9 And the smell of a freshly fired shotgun shell.

    Burnt gun powder and Hopped #9. I absolutely hate the smell of Ballistol but it's function outweighs my hatred.

    Thumbs up

    Yep, Hoppes 9 or the acrid smell of fired shotshell smoke held in the damp, early dawn stillness.

    freshly fired shotshell, speed green when I'm cooking it up or melting it for pan lubing, hoppes #9. The smell of #9 is one of my sensitive nosed wife's favorite smells. WD-40 is pretty good as well.

    That's a might fine wife. Mines pretty good about the little things like that too.

    She did have dinner cooked last time I went out for an evening shoot. I guess I'm pretty darned lucky too. I might have to stop and get her some flowers on the way home from work.
