Description
Product Overview
Maintain, clean, and protect your firearms with the legendary formula of Ballistol Multi-Purpose Gun Oil (6 oz. Liquid Can). Developed originally for military field use, this all-natural, non-toxic liquid lubricant and cleaner penetrates micro-fissures in metal to dissolve carbon buildup, lead, copper, and corrosive black powder fouling while leaving a protective film against rust and oxidation.
Unlike synthetic solvents that dry out or damage wood finishes, Ballistol's eco-friendly formula emulsifies in water to neutralize corrosive combustion acids. It is specifically recommended for maintaining high-value firearms, black powder weapons, and historic pieces like the Winchester Model 98 Signal Cannon, as well as preserving leather holsters and wooden gun stocks without harsh fumes or hazardous chemicals.
ECO-FRIENDLY & NON-TOXIC FORMULA: Ballistol liquid is completely non-toxic, skin-safe, biodegradable, and free of hazardous petroleum distillates or ozone-depleting CFCs. Safe for indoors, gun benches, and sensitive materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Ballistol neutralize corrosive black powder residue?
Ballistol has a slightly alkaline pH (around 8.5 to 9.0) that chemically neutralizes the acidic salts produced by black powder combustion. Because it emulsifies with water, mixing Ballistol with warm water creates a cleaning wash that flushes out salts while leaving behind a protective oil barrier once the water evaporates.
Is Ballistol safe to use on wooden stocks and leather holsters?
Yes. Unlike petroleum-based solvents that strip finishes or soften wood, Ballistol conditions and protects dry wood gun stocks, bringing out the natural grain. It also softens, preserves, and protects unsealed leather holsters and slings.
What is the advantage of the non-aerosol liquid 6 oz can over aerosol sprays?
The non-aerosol 6 oz liquid can gives you 100% active oil without chemical propellants. It allows precise application using cleaning patches, cotton swabs, or oilers, and can be mixed directly with water for bore-scrubbing solutions.
Why is Ballistol specifically recommended for the Winchester Model 98 Cannon?
The Winchester Model 98 Signal Cannon fires 10-gauge blank shells containing black powder. Ballistol is recommended by the manufacturer because it effectively cleans heavy black powder fouling from the iron/steel barrel and action without damaging the cannon's finish or carriage.
