What is the BALLISTOL - MULTI-PURPOSE GUN OIL?

Originally created for military use, Ballistol has been used extensively in Europe for over ninety years to keep firearms clean and free of troublesome lead, copper, and powder residue. Cleans & dissolves traces of copper, lead, brass, and zinc. Lubricates and protects firearms, stocks, and barrels by leaving a film that protects against rust and corrosion that won’t gum-up or harden over time. Works well on tough powder residue and emulsifies with water. Mildly alkaline, Ballistol neutralizes the acids that eat away the insides of barrels. Contains no carcinogens and since it’s bio-degradable, you can be sure that you won’t have to fight a bad smell and toxicity.

Spray bottle attachment is not included with 16 oz or 4 oz liquids

Excellent Product
The Ballistol Lubricant is very high quality and works in ALL weather conditions. I use this on pistols, revolvers and MSR's.

The Germans had clean guns but still lost the war
Ballistol, invented in Germany and used by the WWII German forces, is a great all-around cleaner. I use it to clean my weapons, lubricate knives, and apply to my walnut gun stocks and leather belts.

Great for new rifle break-in
I contacted the manufacturer of my recently purchased rifle and they recommended using Ballistol for the traditional break-in procedure of 1 shot/clean x 5, then 5 shots/clean x 5 and so on. Not saying this is only option because I have also used Hoppe’s #9 Black Copper solvent on a different brand of rifle. Email your rifle company for what they recommend. Ballistol does smell, however it will dissipate around 15 minutes.
