                          FIREARM BORE CLEANER
                                CAUTION:
                           FLAMMABLE MIXTURE
                          HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED
                     KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
             Contents: petroleum distillates, surfactants,
                organometallic antioxidants and acetone
1.   Flammable mixture, keep away from heat, sparks or flame.
2.   FIRST AID, If swallowed DO NOT induce vomiting, call  physician
     immediately.  In case of eye contact immediately flush thoroughly
     with water and call a physician.  For skin  contact wash
     thoroughly.
3.   Use with adequate ventilation.  Avoid breathing vapors or spray
     mist.  It is a violation of Federal law to use this  product in a
     manner inconsistent with its labelling.  Reports have associated
     repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with
     permanent brain and nervous system damage.  If using in closed
     armory vaults lacking forced air ventilation wear respiratory
     protection meeting NIOSH TC23C or equivalent.  Keep container
     tightly closed when not in use.
                        INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
1.   Open the firearm action and ensure the bore is clear.  Cleaning is
     most effective when done while the barrel is still warm from
     firing.  Saturate a cotton patch with bore cleaner, wrap or impale
     on jag and push it through the bore from breech to muzzle. The
     patch should be a snug fit.  Let the first patch fall off and do
     not pull it back into the bore.
2.   Wet a second patch, and similarly start it into the bore from the
     breech, this time scrubbing from the throat area forward in 4-5"
     strokes and gradually advancing until the patch emerges out the
     muzzle. Waiting approximately 1 minute to let the bore cleaner soak
     will improve its action.
3.   For pitted, heavily carbon-fouled service rifles, leaded revolvers
     or neglected bores a bronze brush wet with bore cleaner may be used
     to remove stubborn deposits.  This is unnecessary for smooth,
     target-grade barrels in routine use.
4.   Use a final wet patch pushed straight through the bore to flush out
     loosened residue dissolved by Ed's Red.  Let the patch fall off the
     jag without pulling it back into the bore.  If you are finished
     firing, leaving the bore wet will  protect it from rust for 1 year
     under average atmospheric conditions.
5.   If lanolin is incorporated into the mixture, it will protect the
     firearm from rust for up to two years, even in a humid environment.
     (For longer storage use Lee Liquid Alox or Cosmolene). "ER" will
     readily remove hardened Alox or Cosmolene.
6.   Wipe spilled Ed's Red from exterior surfaces before storing the
     gun. While Ed's Red is harmless to blue and nickel finishes, the
     acetone it contains is harmful to most wood finishes.
7.   Before firing again, push two dry patches through the bore and dry
     the chamber, using a patch wrapped around a suitably sized brush or
     jag.  First shot point of impact usually will not be disturbed by
     Ed's Red if the bore is cleaned as described.
8.   I have determined to my satisfaction that when Ed's Red is used
     exclusively and thoroughly, that hot water cleaning is unnecessary
     after use of Pyrodex or military chlorate primers.  However, if
     bores are not wiped between shots and shots and are heavily caked
     from black powder fouling, hot water cleaning is recommended first
     to break up heavy fouling deposits.  Water cleaning should be
     followed by a flush with Ed's Red to prevent after-rusting which
     could result from residual moisture.  It is ALWAYS good practice to
     clean TWICE, TWO DAYS APART whenever using chlorate primed
     ammunition, just to make sure you get all  the corrosive residue
     out.
