Are any of you using it to treat wooden stocks?
Because I can use it on the barrel as well and not worry about contaminating the wood. Win win.Why would you use Balistol to treat a wooden stock with so many tier 1 wood products available and made to treat wood?
Get some pure tung oil.

Because the product literally says it is a wood treatment right on the label.Why would you use Balistol to treat a wooden stock with so many tier 1 wood products available and made to treat wood?

And it is not a safe queen. This one is strictly a tool and it will get used. It's a nice tool, but a tool nonetheless.Ok, UdoU

I started using it about a year ago after being a life long hoppes fan for hunting irons and clp fan for milsurps and my carry gun.I use Ballistol like the father on My Big Fat Greek Wedding uses windex, but also dislike the smell.
Because it is actually made from organic buffalo farts.I started using it about a year ago after being a life long hoppes fan for hunting irons and clp fan for milsurps and my carry gun.
Ballistol is way better than hoppes and so easy to use. But I think the stuff is bi polar as far as the smell. Sometimes the first spray is like straight up sweaty socks and i want to gag. Other times it's like anise or rootbeer and I like the smell. It's f***ing wierd.

This. I like Ballistol on the wood of the Remlins that I own as they don't have a lot of finish or something. So it keeps them pretty nice. And it cleans pretty well. I like that its a good muzzleloader solvent as well. Which reminds me I need to buy some more.I started using it about a year ago after being a life long hoppes fan for hunting irons and clp fan for milsurps and my carry gun.

Yes, I'd never use it to refinish wood.....its just an oil that would never really dry.I use ballistol for everything. While I wouldn't use it to "treat" wood, I do wipe down a firearms exterior with it before putting it away. When I read "treat wood", I'm thinking of refinishing the wood, like staining, or a glossy finish coat. In that case, no, I would use a product specifically for that purpose. Ballistol will not harm a firearms finish, but if you applied it to raw, unfinished wood, I think it would darken it up a bit. Its my favorite leather conditioner as well.
I love the smell of Ballistol in the morning…..Ballistol is the Arko of the gun world. No one likes the smell but it just works really good.
It is the safest stuff to use on old milsurps and collectables and despite the warning labels it supposedly is non-toxic.
