Smart Father’s Day Gift Picks from an Intelligence Professional

There are a lot of ways to go about picking Father’s Day gifts.  The following are chosen for their ability to keep their users undetected.  Products are either priced low enough to be mistaken for coffee with a friend on the checking account statement, or because they’ll help dad enjoy his guns witha reduced chance of marital strife.

Help dad get away with cleaning guns in the house! Ogre Manufacturing Enviroclean $3-90

Enviroclean is a nontoxic and low-odor cleaner that reeks havoc on carbon but not the nose.  If mom says, “no gun cleaning in the house” because it stinks, damages furniture, etc she won’t even notice Enviroclean.  If she does detect it tell dad to charm her with the environmentally safe ingredients, and then clean the silverware with it.

Leave no trace with Swabits: $9 and up.

This clever adaptation from the medical world makes for reusable lint-free gun cleaning.  The swabs can be used multiple times, withstand gun cleaning chemicals, and best of all come in all the various shapes and sizes gun guys need for a quality deep clean.  When soiled they are easily washed in warm soapy water and ready for the next use.  No more garbage cans full of dirty Q-tips and carbon-caked, shredded patches.

Help him build the stockpile mom never notices with AmmoSquared. Price varies with subscription

AmmoSquared is a subscription service that lets you decide how much of what ammo from more than 40 types are shipped on a regular basis.  What’s so neat about it?  Flat-rate shipping and rounds are priced individually based on bulk-order pricing.  To put that simpler; you get the savings of bulk ammo purchasing without the mountain of ammo sitting around in the house.  Shipment trigger, load type, projectile type, and how much money you’re willing to spend per month are all within your control.  Set up something simple like $30/month and let the savings pile up.  With an automatic shipment trigger of once per month they’ll automatically ship the amount you’ve purchases (in complete boxes).  Better yet use the coupon code “GBGuns” and get free shipping on your first order.  Select subsonic ammunition and it’s even stealthier.
