Sorry ... I can't play ... You forgot Ed's Red Gun Solvent ...

I can buy one quart of each of the 4 ingredient's at wally's mart for just under $25
and mix up a whole gallon of the best bore solvent you ever used !

I would like to thank Mr. Harris for developing and making the "recipe" available to us shooter's on a limited income ... I can't remember how many years I have used Ed's Red ...but it has been awhile ...
Thank You Sir !

Ed’s Red is a great bore and general firearm cleaner. I added the lanolin option and it makes it much less harsh on the hands. I don’t know why commercial lube/solvent makers don’t include it. It is so cheap I don’t feel bad using it generously while scrubbing out receivers, slides and bores. A great contribution by Harris.

I use hoppes #9 sometimes kroil, but making a gallon of eds red is coming to top of list of things to do as the level in the bottles of hoppes gets lower.
