If you want to get some liquid paraffin try your local vet as they still use

Laxative purposes and perhaps baseball glove maintenance. I don't think the beer
and bullet buyers use it any more than others, I just meant it is as readily
available as beer and bullets and hand guns and . . .

Can't remember what it was called though but there was a big discussion
about it some time ago - round July 2005 (I think it is known as mineral oil
in the States which again means something totally different in the UK).
The main thing to remember is that it's primary us
I use baby oil for those important little places. Liquid paraffin is far

Find a friendly vet - there are several amongst society members. They

Thanks for the reminder Colin.
Whereas I was talking about adapting household items for simple bore
cleaning and oiling, you do have an excellent point about polishing. Cotton
buds are nowhere near tight enough for that specialist task. Horses for

If you wish to extend the bore depth of the cotton bud you could glue it on
