With, MikeMGB and the question of cleaning our milsurps and the time spent doing this chore/pleasure.... I wondered what activity do you do while cleaning your favorite milsurps/firearms??
I listen to Classic Rock while cleaning at the workbench

Nothing like a little AC/DC or Bad Company to scrub a bore too

Hoppes was replaced a long time ago by Butch's Bore Cleaner here... However, nothing like the smell of Hoppes. She can smell it a mile away LOL ...

LMAO!!! I hear ya there. Luckily my house is now cleared of all complainers so this isn't a problem anymore. The dog and cat couldn't care less as long as the feed bowls are full.

You my friend are not alone. However I like to drown that out by putting in a good war movie such as The Big Red One, Halls of Montezuma, Sands of Iwo Jima, etc.

I have got to get shed of the Hoppes as well. The stuff has started eating the skin off my fingers like a bad bleach burn. I guess the stuff about getting "thin skinned" when you get old is right.

Jim, what is that big-butt Soviet woman singing about. The tune was interesting, and I thought I heard her talking about Nagants.

Her girdle is so tight it is a wonder she can get some of the notes out.

You know that Russian men like the big butt women. It gives them somwhere to hide when the army recruiters show up at the door.

The same song , basically about the Great patriotic War,

Note how the entire audience stands for the song, WW2 is still very close to the surface of the Russian memory, I guess massive suffering will do that.

I like to have a John Wayne movie playing in the background.

JYD - nothing like rousing music to clean your Mosin by. When you crank it up do your neighbors know your cleaning Mosin's?

Anybody close enough to hear it is trespassing and probably about to have A Very Bad Day
