I'm almost out of it. Anybody know a good online source or if a major store like home depot or ace carries it? What are you gunsmithing that you would need for? I was not sure where to post the question. So I posted it here. Could have went to GD but I didn't want to deal with dumb responses. After a long time of using clp type products I found some in my chem locker. I just use it for a light cleaner, lube, or preservative. I like the smell compared to other products. It tastes terrible though. 
Thanks for the help finding it. Never seen it at walmart. I'll look next time I'm in there. |

Ballistol, one of the best things to come out of Germany. They came up with this lubricant prior to WWI and it still is one of the best out there. Wish you were in NC instead of UT. It is now made in this state. A good friend bought a case and sold me 2 cans for $12 each. I normally get it at gun stores or order via internet. Good luck in finding one of the best. Can also make it into moose milk for cleaning your black powder guns which I learned a long time ago will clean up a whole lot easier if you keep any oil based away from them.

| I found some locally and have been using it more lately. Just the aerosol kind. I would still like to find a larger can. Opinions may vary but I like it. Not really a fan of the latest wonder lubes. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I still use Lubriplate when grease is called for. As for oil I always had good results with CLP, synthetic motor oil and now this. I shoot quite a bit and have been using on everything from modern rifles to 100 year old surplus firearms. I'm happy I rediscovered this product. I looking forward to trying it in my black powder firearms shortly. If you get a chance to pick some up you might like it. |

Amazon for the hookup on 3 can's. Also asking about what your gunsmithing for it's use....Ballistol is great on taking a fresh range gun with 300 - 500 rounds run through it and strip it and spray down. Soaking parts overnight, for cleaning next day.....I mean the can basically says it does everything and I have found it to be the least abrasive or toxic cleaner, lubricant, etc... I keep that and AeroKroil at my gunsmithing table..

Ive been using Ballistol since the late 80s. It was the HK "recommended" lubricant way back then.. Hickock45 uses it, and recommends it as well. https://www.youtube.com/user/HICKOCK45 |

I read that it burns at 300 degrees and leaves a black residue in barrels.
Just bought some for cleaning leather and trying to replace my toxic cleaners/oils with more green cleaners/oils. For a lube I'd rather have a higher flash point oil but have yet to try ballistol for cleaning. Does it dissolve lead? I know it dissolves soft metals like zinc, copper, gold plate etc... |

Pick up something like Murphy's saddle soap |

My Folks also own a business that sells a lot of high end horse stuff, to include bits, bridals, spurs, saddles and such. Mineral oil is bad for leather, discolors and soften stuffs as it's petroleum based. Mink and neatsfoot oil is the heat for preserving leather (but smells). At the dive school I went to, the leather on the Mk 5 suits is over 30 years old (if not older) and gets used every day and lasts because it gets treated after every time it's been in the dirty ass water. |
