[QUOTE="mtnboomer, post: 2403874, member: 32439"] Ed's Red Plus Bore Cleaner Uses: Same as regular Ed's Red, but with a copper removing ability similar to Marksman' Choice MC-7. Formula: 11 ounces of basic Ed's Red 2 ounces of 10% - 20% industrial strength ammonia 2 ounces of Rustlick WS-11 cutting oil or suitable alternative 1 ounce Murphy's Oil Soap Mixing Instructions: Mix the oil soap and ammonia in a separate container. In a suitable one (1) pint container containing 11 ounces of basic Ed's Red, add the cutting oil and mix together. Then add the oil soap/ammonia mixture to the Ed's Red/ cutting oil mixture and shake the container to mix the ingredients. You will end up with a pink opaque liquid that, for the most part, will remain in solution – but always shake well before using. The resulting solution will remove mild copper deposits in bores if allowed to work about 15 – 20 minutes. Cautions: Same as regular Ed's Red. The ORIGINAL Hoppes No. 9 Formula (This formula was taken from “Hatcher's Notebook”) Uses: General bore cleaner. This is the original “Ode de Gun.” If you don't like the smell – you ain't a real shooter! Any resemblance to the current “environmentally correct” No. 9 is completely accidental! Formula: (Amounts are rounded from the original formula to make one [1] quart.) Original Component Notes Ammonium Oleate (CAS# 544-60-5) 5 ounces (also known as ammonium soap) Amyl Acetate 8.5 ounces (also know as banana oil) Nitro-benzene 2 ounces (racing fuel additive, also found in some model airplane fuels) K1 Kerosene 8.5 ounces Neutral Saponifiable Oil 8 ounces (not identified, ATF can be substituted) [/QUOTE]
