Beer works for me.

Hmph...I guess I could cut the top off a 2 liter pop bottle to hold the mags + fluid...but it'll probably take me 2 or 3 days to completely cover the upright-standing magazines...

...My output isn't what it used to be...

Thanks, George...I think...

George, if you're still following this (and not laughing your butt off - I'm still hunting for snipes), does the urine-soak also turn the metal brown???

And I'm sitting here, with my plastic bottle, and nothing...If I didn't want any, I couldn't stop...

I ask because I re-barreled my infamous 'Red Five" C96 and want to blend the new metal in with the old...It's all a nice brown patina color...Except the new barrel...
