Ballistol Universal Oil, in a 100ml format, excels in cleaning and removing all forms of bore contaminants. Its mild alkaline nature effectively neutralizes and dissolves residues from black powder and corrosive ammunition. Beyond cleaning, Ballistol enhances the appearance of gun stocks, preventing them from becoming dry, and ensures they remain lubricated and protected without ever becoming sticky or solidifying.

Compatible with all types of metals, including aluminum, Ballistol is particularly effective in dissolving copper, zinc, lead, and tombac residues, making it suitable for cleaning brass, bronze, and silver items.

As a solvent for smokeless powder, Ballistol efficiently breaks down carbon deposits within the barrel and chamber, offering superior cleaning capabilities.

Unlike typical corrosion-inhibiting lubricants that merely cover surfaces to block water and air exposure, Ballistol's alkalinity provides comprehensive protection against various forms of corrosion including galvanic, acidic, and saltwater corrosion.

The inclusion of anti-oxidants ensures that Ballistol maintains its lubricating properties and does not harden or gum up over time, even with prolonged exposure.

Particularly beneficial for black powder firearm maintenance, Ballistol counteracts the acidic residues left in chambers and bores, eliminating the necessity for harsh solvents. A mixture of one part Ballistol to two parts water creates an effective black powder cleaning solution.

Moreover, its alkaline properties allow Ballistol to neutralize the potassium salts left by corrosive ammunition. For initial cleaning, a solution of 10% Ballistol to 90% water is recommended, followed by regular cleaning with undiluted Ballistol.
