Best smelling gun oil ?

[Jamouk]

I remember as a kid cleaning mine and my dad's shotguns and the gun oil ( think it may have been Parker hale or 303 ) smelling great , all the ones I have bought lately hardly smell of anything , standing here cleaning shotguns using some Bisley stuff and it just popped into my head almost out and need to buy some more ... any suggestions ?

Ballistol and Ballistol Gunex smell great.

This will be a hilarious thread!!!

I grew up with (on) Ballistol. Nothing beats this smell.

As above, Youngs 303 & Rangoon oil. One of the many pleasures I’ve lost since Covid took my sense of smell.

Youngs 303 sounds like the one ! But going to order some Ballistol as well by the sound of it

An elderly friend of mine uses chainsaw oil for sleepers in the cabinet as so sticky?

I think you can get Hoppes No.9 car Air fresheners!

For me, the most evocative is Alfred J. Parker's Anti-Corrosive Gun Oil.

Hoppe's No9, drives them wild.
