Yeah, Melvin can get grumpy, especially when he gets rifles back due to problems caused by the customer.
He told me the most common such problem is the rifle "not grouping" due to a scope that went bad. Often it's a brand-new scope, and the customer's convinced the problem can't be the scope because he paid XYZ dollars for it. Melvin puts on one of his test scopes and rifle shoots fine, exactly as it did when he tested it before shipping, but he just used up considerable time making sure.
When I clean a rifle with Wipe-Out, I put an empty case in the chamber to keep the stuff in the bore.
