Took a new shooter to his first match a few weeks ago. It was a 6x1K match over two days.
I always just dry patch my bore after the 1st day and recommended that he do the same. So, out comes his new Tipton 1 piece cleaning rod and he proceeds to shove a patch thru the bore. I didn't notice until it was to late that the patch was to big. Well, about half way down the bore, it starts getting really tight and before I can stop him, he reverses direction. Yup, you guessed it. Now the patch and rod are jammed mid point in the barrel. After a whole lot of physical exertion and a fair amount of colorful language I had a thought. Out comes my bottle of Hobo Oil and I put some down the bore. After about 15 min. I sit on the floor, put my foot on the butt stock and give a big heave ho on the rod. Out comes rod, patch and all!
Thanks Hobo Oil!!
