This is a heads up for anybody that uses this product! You have to be-aware that it is called the gunsmiths best friend for the residue and continuous build up of a gummy type substance. Gunsmiths get more biz from the use and overuse of this solvent. It is the only solvent I I know of that leaves a residue that needs another solvent to remove it.
I know a lot of us started with it, mostly because our parents and relatives used it back in the day when there was little else. When I noticed it I talked to the owner of the local gun shop/range and he told me about it. I know most guy's love the smell of the stuff and some have said they wish they made it after shave.
I now use the copper VI solvent for the bore and pick up what ever brand of gun was spray is on sale or reduced at a local big box sports store.
I like the lab spout type bottles for dispensing it in the bores and patches etc.
I also use a non-chlorinated brake type cleaner that is safe for plastic and rubber.
So if you use the #9 Solvent and are having a sticking problem or a lot of curd build up. You may have to remove the solvent residue.
The canned air for computer dusting also comes in handy, for drying out cleaned parts.
Winchester either changes their labels a lot or they found some old new stock as I picked up 3 different labels last time I bought it
