Ballistol 16 Oz. Liquid

Ballistol 16 oz. liquid is a time-proven gun oil and cleaner trusted by shooters across Europe and North America for nearly a century. Whether you're breaking down a rifle after a hunting trip, maintaining a competition pistol, or keeping your shotgun in field-ready condition, this multipurpose firearm lubricant handles both heavy cleaning and long-term corrosion protection without the hassles of modern synthetics.

The formula cuts through stubborn powder residue, copper fouling, and lead buildup—the byproducts that accumulate inside barrels and action groups. Its mildly alkaline composition actively neutralizes the acids left behind by fired ammunition, working to preserve barrel integrity over time. You get genuine cleaning power without the harsh smell or toxicity of older solvents; Ballistol is biodegradable and contains no carcinogens, making it safer to use indoors or in poorly ventilated spaces.

Beyond the bore, Ballistol protects every metal surface and wood furniture on your firearms. It leaves a thin, durable film that stands up to moisture and won't gum up, harden, or turn sticky after days or weeks in your safe. The emulsifying action means it works effectively even when mixed with water, useful if you need to rinse parts during the cleaning process. Applied sparingly to your bolt carrier, trigger group, or stock, it provides reliable protection without becoming a dust magnet.

The 16 oz. bottle is the practical size for regular maintenance—enough to last most shooters several seasons of routine cleaning. Note that a spray attachment is sold separately; this is straight liquid only.
