Ballistol Multi-Purpose Oil, Aerosol Spray, 6 Oz

Best lubricant ever

Fantastic oil. Makes for great firearm cleaning after use. The smell takes you by surprise at first, but it's an acquired smell. Now it just smells like a clean and high functioning firearm to me.

I've been using this for a while now on various firearms. It works great on patches or wire brushes down the bore. Also works great as a spray and wipe cleaner. It's very gentle and does not damage wood or plastic. This is a great all-around cleaning and protecting product, great for people who don't like to use all the different chemicals for cleaning, lubricating and polishing on their firearms but just want to keep them clean and looking good.

This cleaner works well for cleaning all firearms. It works great on metal without worrying about harming the metal. What is great on rifles I can clean the outside of the barrel and don’t have to worry about harming the wooden stock and hand grip which you can also clean the Ballistol.

I had heard this was good stuff so I had high standards when I began using it..typically I used hoppes 9 on all my guns. I had a few I needed to clean so when this came in the mail I tried it and was beyond impresses. Combined with a nice guy cleaning brush this left my actions smooth and cleaner than I can ever remember! It leaves a nice thin lubricating layer that makes actions smooth and silky. I cleaned my Pt111 G2 pistol with this even though I had already cleaned it with hoppes and was amazed to see how much the hoppes had left behind. This just picks up stuff that other solvents leave behind! The only downside of it is the smell. It's not terrible but compared to hoppes 9 or g96 it's not as good. But it's comforting to know it contains no cancer causing chemicals and it's skin safe. It's definitely not as strong as a smell as some other cleaners that make you light headed. I used this on the bolt of my mosin 91/30 rifle which is notorious on my gun cabinet to rust. If you clean it with normal cleaners and let it sit the bolt and various pieces on the gun will rust..especially if you touch the metal without wiping it off with a soft cloth. I tried the ballistol oil on it and not only did it make my Mosin's bolt super smooth and fast (Mosin's are famous for stiff and hard to move bolts) but it also has not rusted even after touching the metal surfaces and not wiping them. There is no rust anywhere on the gun and it cleaned rust off several parts. There is a chemical in ballistol that is alkaline so it neutralizes the sweat and other oils from fingerprint touches on metal. So if you use ballistol on your guns you have to worries about them rusting anywhere anytime!
