I made a gallon of it a very long time ago. Maybe used 2 ounces out of that gallon. It looks gawd-awful now - sort of scares me. ;)

corey012778 12-05-2012 07:38 PM

only about half gal. lol

Everybody seems to have their own formula. How did you make yours Corey?

corey012778 12-05-2012 07:59 PM

the one on MM. almost went from the marphy's oil to a cleaner I have. maybe make a little batch

I make a liter bottle of it at a time and that lasts for a very long time. Although you can clean a rifle with the stuff. And it does a pretty good job too.

corey012778 12-05-2012 08:25 PM

really wish I made less. but it is what it is,

Muley Hunter 12-05-2012 08:27 PM

I don't post on MM.

corey012778 12-05-2012 08:37 PM

I post a little. not a whole lot.

Muley Hunter 12-05-2012 08:53 PM

You still didn't give me the formula?

corey012778 12-05-2012 09:49 PM

here may have been posted

Dave's "Moose Milk" recipe:

4 ounces NAPA Auto Parts #765-1526 Soluble Cutting & Grinding Oil
8 ounces 91% Isopropyl alcohol
1 ounce Murphy's Oil Soap
16 ounces tap water

I've read the Napa oil is not what it used to be when that formula was first posted. If it doesn't work out. You might try using Ballistol instead.

Is it ok to mix murphy's, rubbing alcohol and peroxide together and make a cleaner for blackhorn. I would like to make some myself or is just simple green ok. I use simple green and orange glow is the moose milk better?

Underclocked 12-06-2012 03:28 PM

MAP is better.

Murphy's Oil Soap 20%
Alcohol 40%
Hydrogen Peroxide 40%

Great for swabbing/cleaning but don't leave it on surfaces, dry swab then lube


Also is a terrific hand cleaner and softener. Leaves your hands baby smooth. :barmy:

Nice to know all the details thanks.

.454, I've never tried MAP on BH209 fouling - but I will some of these days. I've just been using Hoppes #9 for that powder. Not kidding about the hand cleaning quality - try it.

Muley Hunter 12-06-2012 05:59 PM

Well, Murphy's is a soap.
