Ed's Red doesn't contain STP. It's basically a mix of ATF, kerosene, acetone, and mineral spirits, and sometimes lanolin. (Google the recipe) Not much lubricating qualities there. I use it as a general cleaner, in lieu of Hoppes. It works a treat. I mixed a gallon of the stuff a few years ago and reckon I'll still be dipping into that jug for years to come.

I've known Ed Harris for over 30 years. He's quite the gentleman, and has forgotten more about shooting subjects than most of us will ever know.
