Yes I have...it works great !!

And Hickcock45 on YouTube swears by it...

Good enuff for me !! ;)
Use it every time I clean my firearms. After awhile it truly dose leave like a "Teflon" coating on the parts you use it on. The only problem I have with it, is it has a wicked smell to it. In my opinion.

Yeah that's where I have seen it being used. He says he's not trying to sale it. lol But I was wondering any follow GF members using this stuff. Like to try some. Not any local area where I live. Close one 75 miles away. So, before long road trip, I'll ask here first. :)

Btw: Hickcock45 can put them out there, that man can shoot!! Hit that gong every time.
All I use and I like the smell.{just don't use it on nickle plated guns}
^^^This fact is true !! ^^^

Thanks MikeP !!

Unless you're up for a road trip, you might try ordering online. I ordered mine from amazon.com and had it within a couple of days (I believe the amazon vendor was Pyramid Air or something like that).
I guess we'll take that short road trip. Need get kidos out house anyways. lol I got have me some of that stuff!!

what does it do to nickle posted guns?
Nickle is plated on top of copper, Ballistol gets under there and causes problems.
Most oils will turn nickel yellow too. Really applies to old revolvers.

It is good stuff, but use in a well ventilated area. Depending on how much you spray, the odor can be pretty powerful. Some like the smell though (as noted earlier in the thread).

I wouldn't say I like the smell but it is better than CLP in my opinion. CLP strikes me as having a more "toxic" smell. Theoretically it also less harmful to you and the environment (although I haven't really studied the two to verify that this is the case).
I use Ballistol mostly just to clean/preserve the exteriors of firearms. Does a decent job cleaning internals/barrels, but I find using something like Hoppe's a little easier to use when cleaning internals because it's much less slippery than Ballistol. Ballistol has a slight odor but is not offensive in my opinion.

that would seem to be correct, though the Ballistol msds leaves a lot to be desired.

Never tried CLP. I think I will give it a go when my can of Ballistol is gone.

The fact that it is readily available is a plus for CLP.
Yep every Walmart has it on the shelf for around $3. I have had the same can for a very long time.
All I use too. It really is great stuff. Knocks out even the dirtiest ammo. I just order from Amazon when I get low.
