Ballistol Universal Oil

[Dogman Barrance]

Just checking that Ballistol Universal Oil is the correct product to use for cleaning and protecting all external parts of my springers: metal, wood, plastic…
Anyone ever had problems with this oil?

Never sprayed it , but I would spray some on a rag and wipe my rifle down with it. A most excellent product.

It’s the best. You’ll never need another oil, even good on animals

 

[Rudolph Hucker]

That's an excellent oil mate. As Bob said, spray some on a cloth and use it for a good wipe over. Mine is in a big tin so, that's how I've been using it for years. I love that smell

Its the best of the lot for anything metal .but I use Renaissance polish om my wood stocks.

 

[Dogman Barrance]

Do most of you guys use the bottled/tinned oil?
Any trouble with removing logos, or varnish etc?

 

[TonySTS]

Always use it to wipe down when I’ve been outside with a gun. As above, spray onto cloth and wipe down. Smells delicious and reminds me of Bakewell tart.

Any version is good, but my personal preference is to have a bit on a rag and wipe the rifle down, it does not harm woodwork , and the competition stickers on my rifle have been there for years.

Excellent product, but I can't believe people like the smell! Smells like sweaty arse to me .

 

[Jimbobjones]

@bflat7 mentions Renaissance Wax , that too is excellent on wood and metal, just takes a little more time and effort.

How would you know that !!!

I use the liquid oil from a bottle not the spray, never had any problems with plastic or logos
and it's ok if it gets on the stock but I use CCL gunstock oil on wood for a nice finish.

 

[Dogman Barrance]

Thanks guys
Just what I need to wipe over all gun surfaces with confidence.
And it smells nice

I persnally prefere Renaissance wax on lint free cloth rub it on give it 5 then buff it up looks and feels great

You can also use on your cuts, can't say I like the smell but bloody good stuff

 

[Frog]

It's as good as any other medical grade light mineral oil just a lot more expensive than most. I'm still using Johnsons baby oil from poundland

You will get better value for your money buying the cans rather than the spray mate.

 

[Ashf9999]

It’s fine but it stinks. Careful with the Ballistol spray cans, as the nozzles can gum up and need poking out with a needle. I use some (as I bought a kit out of curiosity) , but personally I prefer Browning Legia spray, which is also good for wood and does everything you need (without the repugnant smell) - and it doesn’t gum up.

Any diffrence between this and the Napier Airgun oil?
