Uses for Shooter's Choice Products
VARIETY
OF USES FOR SHOOTERS' CHOICE PRODUCTS:
Everything in the Shooter's Choice product line is designed
for a specific use, but many of the products also have secondary
uses that can be applied if you know their properties.
For
instance, Shooter's Choice Blackpowder Gel is specifically formulated
to dissolve and suspend the corrosive residue left behind in a
barrel when blackpowder is burned. But the Gel is also effective
in loosening residue left in rifle or shotgun barrels by the conventional
smokeless powder and can also be used to scrub carbon and powder
fouling off a revolver's cylinder face, using a stainless steel
utility brush.

INDUSTRY
FINDS ALL-WEATHER GREASE USEFUL:
The hunting and shooting public has embraced Shooter's Choice
All-Weather Gun Grease as one of the leaders in firearms lubricants
ever since it was introduced in 1984. Its amazing properties are
also well known and utilized within the shooting and receation
industry.
Shooter's
Choice All-Weather High-Tech Gun Grease is the choice of most
paintball and pellet gun manufacturers for use on cocking mechanisms
and more and more rollerblade and skateboard manufacturers are
using it also. Oil-based lubricants and solvents are harmful to
plastic and nylon parts on airguns and roller wheels while the
familiar High-Tech Gun Grease is perfectly safe.

BLACKPOWDER
GEL FOR SLUG GUNS:
The saboted shotgun slug has revolutionized the market with its
uncanny accuracy and ability to retain energy past 100 yards.
But the new load brings with it a new fouling problem.
Saboted
slugs are generally 1-ounce lead or copper bullets encased in
a polyethylene plastic sleeve designed to engage the rifling of
the specialty shotgun barrel. There is no lead fouling with the
saboted slugs because the slug never touches the bore. But the
plastic residue from the sleeve does build up and is difficult
to remove with conventional bore cleaners.
Sabot
shooters are finding that Shooter's Choice Blackpowder Gel swabbed
through the barrel loosens and dissolves the plastic residue better
than anything else on the market.

PROFESSIONALS
ALSO USE RUST PREVENT:
Shooter's Choice Rust Prevent is a commonly found in the gun cabinets
and on the work benches of knowledgable hunters and shooters.
Its efficiency and usefulness as a protection against corrosion
is well documented.
But
Rust Prevent is also a "common sense" addition to dealers'
and gunsmiths' every day tools of the trade. With customers handling
firearms on a daily basis in a retail environment, perspiration
and body oils from hands can lead to surface corrosion on barrels
and other metal parts. A quick wipe down with Rust Prevent cleans
those metal surfaces after handling and a light follow-up coat
protects the metal for the next time it is handled.
In
a gunsmith's shop Rust Prevent is often sprayed on the metal surfaces
of guns and into the cases in which firearms are shipped back
to their owners. A simple application before it leaves the shop
protects the firearm in transit, regardless of how long it takes
or under what conditions it is stored while en route.

RUST
PREVENT HAS OTHER USES:
While Shooter's Choice Rust Prevent is designed specifically for
use in gun care that doesn't mean that it can't be very effective
for uses outside our industry.
Rust
Prevent is the best moisture displacent on the market and the
same qualities that make it the first choice for firearms protection
also make it popular in the home, garage or shop.
Rust
Prevent is often used on garage, garden and shop tools and anything
metal around the house that is handled often (and is thus touched
by perspiration salts) or that may corrode where it is stored.
Fifteen minutes after application (time may vary with temperature
and humidity) the solution evaporates but Rust Prevent's unique
molecular makeup leaves a fine protective residue that serves
as a long term barrier against moisture.

ANOTHER
USE FOR BORE SOLVENT:
Camouflage tape is a simple and inexpensive way to mask the glare
or general visibility of a shotgun or rifle for turkey, waterfowl
or big game hunting. The tape does, however, in time fade or get
dirty or tattered and needs to be replaced.
When
the tape is removed it typically leaves behind a tacky, dirt-attracting
residue that has to be removed before another coating of tape
can be applied. That residue is very stubborn and can't be removed
by soap or mild detergents.
"People
found that the only way to get this residue off was with harsh
solvents that might also be harmful to the gun's finish,"
says firearms expert Joe Ventimiglia, president of Shooter's Choice
line of gun care products. "But some shooters found that
a rag soaked in our Shooter's Choice bore cleaner will wipe that
residue off the gun without harming the surface. In fact the people
at Mossy Oak suggest our product by name to remove that film.
"I
would suggest that after you've cleaned the surface and wiped
it off that you follow with an application of Shooter's Choice
Quick Scrub III cleaner-degreaser. That dries within seconds and
leaves the surface perfectly suited for another application of
tape or for general use."

SHOOTER'S
CHOICE ALSO "ANGLER'S CHOICE":
Shooter's Choice's new Quick Scrub III cleaner-degreaser -- one
of the first such products on the market with an ozone-safe accelerant
-- and Shooter's Choice Rust Prevent are finding as many uses
outside the firearms marketplace as they do in it.
For
instance fishermen have been using the Quick Scrub aerosol for
years to efficiently remove grime from boat and motor surfaces
and oil, grease and other residue from fishing reels.
Anglers
who fish salt water also use Quick Scrub on their tackle and often
follow with a coating of Rust Prevent on all brass and aluminum
surfaces of their reels.

PROFESSIONALS
FIND OTHER USES FOR SHOOTER'S CHOICE:
Shooter's Choice gun care products are specially formulated for
use on firearms, but that doesn't mean that they won't perform
well in other venues.
For
instance, golf club builders frequently use Shooter's Choice MC7
Bore Cleaner to strip off adhesive debris left behind when a grip
is removed. They then spray the same area of the shaft with Quick
Scrub III Cleaner/Degreaser to leave a perfectly sanitary surface
for the new grip tape used to seat the new grip.
Motorcycle
and automotive repair and restoration shops also like both products
for cleaning off road grime and frequently use Shooter's Choice
FP-10 Lubricant Elite to lubricate high-wear, high-friction areas
on the suspension or hinges.
Got
a bad stain on a shirt or blouse? Lay a towel behind the fabric
and spray Quick Scrub III directly on the stain. You'll be amazed
at the results.
