Teflon spray

[David Ilvedson]

Carol,

Is the Hoppes as finely ground as Spurlocks?  Is his an improvement for you?
Microfine is all I use on knuckles.

Also at K-Mart in the gun (sporting goods section) is Hoppes Teflon powder
used for cleaning gun barrels.  It is also available in gun stores.  We used
this stuff long before Spurlock came out with his microfine teflon powder.
It even comes in a nice small container with an applicator.
