Damn...time was EVERY mofacka I knew loved that smell. Not talkin about the OP, but I guess now these young-uns want shit that smells like AXE or something.
BTW: BALLISTOL for the win. And..YES..I love the smell.

I started using Hoppes in the early 90s, and never stopped. The "smell" doesn't bother me at all, but I'm not overly sensitive to smells.

I was wasting time at a local indoor range months ago, and saw some Rand Bore & Bolt Solvent on the shelf, so bought some. The spray bottle should make it more travel friendly than Hoppes, and Viking Tactics seems to like it, so it shouldn't suck. I think I've used it once to clean an AR bolt....not a very difficult task.....and it did well enough.

Gun scrubber.
I use mpro 7 which I assume is water based. If I cant source it, I use gun scrubber. Its fantastic.

Can I ask why you want to avoid water based cleaners?
Anyone know if mpro7 is water-based? I assume it is, but havent researched at all.

Just trying ro find an alternative to Hoppes

Hoppes original solvent sucks for cleaning. Its a poor solvent for copper and carbon, but it does both (i guess thats why people think its good?) and has been used for years... and still is for some reason. I used it once and wont again.

Meh. First world problems.

Lots of stuff works well enough.

Most CLP are non or low odor and good to go. Or just use motor oil...

Mega, I dont want water bases cause it rusts unless you get every bit out and oil. Was going to try mpro but it is water based.

Never cared for clp either.

I love the smell of Hoppes, reminds me of hunting with Dad in my teens. Good times.
Just looking for something better.
