What prompted the search, is that I am in the process of spot bluing a few scratches on some used firearms I picked up. I'm using Kleen-Bore Black Magic for this, and the directions said to use 0000 steel wool with Break Free's CLP. Knowing that none of the local sporting goods stores carried it, I had to find an alternative...Remoil ended up working well enough.

I usually use fresh liberal tears. But Hoppes #9 works great, I'd like to get some balistol and try that stuff.

Yup, everything.

I did not get the chance to use this in a story and did not try it out myself, but does this tannin thing sound valid?
I don't plan on boiling my gun in order to find out.

I had a similar search experience a few years ago. The choir director at my church was a fan of a musical vocal group called GLAD. I thought I'd do a search and find their tour schedule to see if they were coming to the area. Well, now, everyone knows that GLAD is also the name for the gay and lesbian alliance, but not back when I did the google search.
Surprised I was.
Search was not successful.

I learned years ago that there is a difference between WhiteHouse.com and WhiteHouse.gov. I just checked, and the .com is no longer a porn site like it used to be.

My son needed some new football gear awhile back...I told him to gather the prices on items he needed. He learned real quick that Dick's Sporting Goods website isn't at the url he thought it was.
