A fun item for Ballistol fans

[outta_ammo]

Ballistol has released their "Nostalgic Flask" mimicking the packaging for the 1904 product. Mine arrived today.

Okay, gotta admit that's pretty cool.

Balistol is one of the very few gun products I've never tried-don't know why as it is very popular-will have to get a can. Got pretty much all the rest of the popular brands….,,,

The nostalgic bottle is cool!!

Amazing stuff!

I'll need a few of those. I have been using the product for years and the it never ceases to amaze me.

Nothing more than white mineral oil.

Ballistol has a distinct aroma (odor) that some find a bit off-putting, but at least smelling it lets you know the gun has been treated. As for the retro bottle, I guess I should have one to go with all my other retro stuff (including myself) so an order should be forthcoming!

The key to Ballistol is that it contains no petroleum and is skin safe.

There's gotta be something more in there, because it will cause a slight burning feel on sensitive places. Yeah, like the mucous membranes in my nostril when I forget to clean my hand first, LOL.

Nothing more than white mineral oil.

...with the aroma of dirty feet added. But it works well.

Well....... as I did state above, I just ordered a 3 pack of Ballistol. Two 6 oz. Aerosol cans and one 16 ounce liquid with spray pump. For some reason I've got pretty much every popular and some not so popular brands of gun juice but never got around to trying the Ballistol.

The main reason for buying it was because I am a huge tool guy, have a pretty well stocked workshop and use my tools and equipment on a daily basis. Living in the South now (even though my workshop is climate controlled), I wipe my tools down after using them and have been using CLP but would like something that is totally non toxic and that also works. The Ballistol might just be that ticket - time will tell. The CLP works very well but is not non toxic.

I have heard that the Ballistol is not he best smelling product - maybe why I have never bought it before, but again, I will know within a week - lol.

Weird, but I love the smell of Ballistol! Maybe this is like the cilantro thing some people have. Anyone else like the smell?

I love Ballistol. Very neat nostalgia piece. Ordered 2. Thanks for the heads up!

Lol - I'm the same. Love Ballistol and cilantro.

 

[Mike SC Hunter]

Using it caused me to sneeze and cough..........So it's gone.

 

[rockquarry]

Cilantro smells much better, but you eventually get used to smell of Ballistol.

The key to Ballistol is that it contains no petroleum and is skin safe.

More than skin safe, in Europe they sell a medicinal version (possibly the same stuff but in a sterile bottle) called Hausmittel ("home remedy") for treating minor abrasions etc.

Used to be available on Amazon. I've used the regular stuff for minor scratches without any problems.

My nose maybe has some issues.... I don't feel that putrefacted foot smell. At the contrary, when I open the bottle I feel mint and eucalypthus. Really, I'm serious....
