Gun care
I. General maintenance of weapons
If your weapon gets wet during use, then it should be lightly (without pressing) wiped from the outside with
a soft cotton cloth. After that, use BALLISTOL while injecting it into the barrel at both ends, shake and
rotate the barrel several times to BALLISTOL it covered all the rifling fields, the rifling itself, and the
entire polygonal surface as a whole. Then wait a few minutes to BALLISTOL managed to react and dissolve the
remains of the lubricant and combustion products. Make sure that when cleaning the weapon, the muzzle
section is directed downwards, otherwise powder deposits, unburned particles of ammunition and other types
of dirt can get into the system and settle there. Therefore, the system may lose smoothness of movement, and
it may even happen that the firing pin of the drummer will jam.
Gunpowder particles from the cartridges also enter the system during ignition. Thick smoke and tiny particles
enter the moving parts and settle there. Therefore, these areas should be cleaned especially carefully with
BALLISTOL. Cotton pads and brushes for cleaning the cradle will help you do this. Excess BALLISTOL easily
removed with a soft cotton cloth. It is important that a thin film remains on the surface BALLISTOL. After
that, if the design of your weapon allows it, Thread a dry patch or plastic plug from the chamber to the
muzzle (if not, then from the muzzle to the cartridge). Always use a new patch or felt stopper, as dirt
should be removed, not evenly smeared. Then, again, lightly wipe off the moistened one BALLISTOL the outer
surface of the weapon. It should be processed from time to time BALLISTOL and the rifle belt, so that the
belt does not harden and does not mold, but remains elastic and smooth.
Pistol magazines should also be cleaned regularly with BALLISTOL, since
there are remnants of gunpowder, and the supply of cartridges in the magazine should remain uniform. Try to
avoid using broaches, and if this is not avoided, then do not forget
to use at least some muzzle protection. Just as large oaks fall from numerous minor blows, the connecting
links of the Broach will be removed on the muzzle layer by layer, until this affects the accuracy of
shooting. Especially harmful to the muzzle is the use of wire brushes, when you clean the barrel, stretch
the ramrod back and forth, instead of removing the brush by pushing it in one direction. If there are metal
residues in your weapon, it is better not to use wire brushes at all, but to use ROBLA, or its equivalent.
For more information, see Section II. Your weapon is now ready for use or ready for storage. If you do not
use your weapon for a long time, it would be advisable to lubricate the barrel. Just pull the moistened
patch through it BALLISTOL, and, under normal storage conditions, the film from BALLISTOL reliably protect
the barrel from corrosion.
Often, after an intense hunt, you don't have much desire to properly clean your weapons. In this case, inject
a little BALLISTOL in the barrel at both ends and just a little bit on the outer surface of the weapon, and
therefore you can postpone cleaning until the next day, without causing any damage to your weapon. Don't
forget: the muzzle should point downwards, as we have already mentioned. Only fully cleaned weapons can be
stored in the gun cabinet by turning it muzzle up.
In addition, to improve the appearance of your weapon, you can also use GUNEX. GUNEX protects against
corrosion even better and longer than BALLISTOL. That is why in bad weather conditions, and when the weapon
cannot be cleaned for several days, you should use it GUNEX. However, to clean the internal parts of your
weapon, use only BALLISTOL, since only an alkaline weapon oil, such as BALLISTOL, can effectively neutralize
acid residues, and therefore protect weapons from damage. Also, under normal conditions BALLISTOL provides
sufficient corrosion protection at the hunting or shooting site.
Please remember that true bluing is an ultra-thin oxide coating. If you do not handle it properly, then,
like, for example, a paint coating, it will also suffer from mechanical wear. Intense friction can quickly
destroy bluing. Therefore, if you want to admire the brilliance of black
blueing for a long time, you should handle the blued parts almost gently and with a soft cloth. In any case,
if the bluing is damaged, you can help it yourself by using KLEVER Brünierung. For more information, see
Chapter Three of this brochure. In some small - caliber rifles (for example, Remington), certain parts of
the weapon are made of aluminum alloys or similar materials. Such parts cannot be blued. Therefore, these
parts are covered with a black varnish with a matte shade, which creates the impression of a real bluing. In
many cases, this varnish coating is not resistant to oil. Therefore, in these cases, such parts just need to
be wiped with a damp cloth. The barrel and impact mechanism are always made of Steel, which means that they
should always be cleaned with BALLISTOL.
Sometimes someone may recommend using a weapon lubricant containing
Teflon. If these recommendations relate to the barrel or chamber, then we definitely agree with this, and
strictly warn against implementing such recommendations. These commonly used polymers contain carbon
fluorides. During combustion, the temperature reaches 3000° C and a huge pressure is generated in the
chamber and barrel (2000-3000 bar). Under such conditions, polymers containing fluoride decompose, which
leads to the appearance of a small amount of hydrofluoric acid. Hydrofluoric acid is very aggressive and
even leads to the formation of ulcers in the trunk. Therefore, when using products containing Teflon, be
extremely careful. These products can only be used for fur parts, but even with this use, they do not
provide any advantages.
If you use all-metal shell or semi-shell cartridges, and if your budget for cartridges is quite moderate,
then the gun care with BALLISTOL or GUNEX will be quite sufficient. At least once a year, or if you shoot
often enough – more often than once a year – you should thoroughly clean your weapon completely.
II. Barrel residue caused by lead or pinchbeck bullets
Some barrels become inaccurate even after 10, and some after 50 shots. Why is this happening? The pinchbeck
alloy of modern warp bullets releases tiny particles and covers the metal surface in the barrel with a thin
layer of metal residue, which becomes thicker with each shot, until for no apparent reason even the best
weapons begin to disperse the shots!
If the inaccuracy of the weapon is caused by metal residue, then the safest and mildest way to restore the
accuracy of the weapon is to use it correctly ROBLA- SOLO, or its equivalent. ROBLA-SOLO is much better than
any wire brushes or other similar torture tools. Finally, ROBLA-SOLO replaces the steel wool that has
irreparably destroyed so many trunks after just one cleaning. ROBLA- SOLO gently dissolves pinch-beck,
brass, copper, lead and zinc without damaging steel, nickel and chromium.
Instructions for use:
If there is a thick metal layer in the barrel, close the barrel from one end with a cork or a piece of
rubber, and fill the barrel ROBLA-SOLO. Give ROBLA-SOLO a couple of hours for him to do his job. If the
barrel is only slightly clogged, then simply pull through the barrel soaked in water. ROBLA-SOLO patch or
felt сork, and that's enough. Yellow or blue indicates dissolved copper and brass, while zinc and lead leave
the solution colorless. Repeat this procedure until the felt or patch becomes colorless. Allow the grout to
drain, then pull the dry patch through the barrel, and then use BALLISTOL or GUNEX as described in Section
I. Before using the weapon, we recommend that you once again thread a dry patch through the barrel.
If the barrel is only wetted ROBLA-SOLO then make sure that the barrel does not lie in a disassembled state
for a long time, because in this case, the ammonia compounds will evaporate, and the remaining water may
react with certain organic substances.
salts, thereby causing localized corrosion. Soluble force ROBLA-SOLO it is so powerful that it can even
corrode bluing. Blued parts that have been lubricated ROBLA-SOLO, should be soaked once or rinsed with
water. If necessary, when restoring bluing, you can use KLEVER Brünierung, which will be discussed in the
next section.
In addition, …
... be careful when thoroughly cleaning chrome barrels with ROBLA-SOLO (this also applies to other similar
products.) Chrome plating is often applied to copper released as a result of electrolysis, which gives
advantages over the process of direct chrome plating of barrel steel. If there are any cracks in the chrome
coating, even of micro - furnace size, then the barrel cleaner will corrode the underlying layer of copper,
because its tasks include dissolving metal residues in the barrel. The consequence is that copper will
dissolve under chromium, and then chromium will certainly disappear as well. Please note: this will not
happen if there are no cracks or defects on the hard chrome surface.
III. Damaged bluing
Bluing of the weapon can be damaged due to too intense shooting, during heavy hunting, or when installing an
optical sight. To save you from the difficult problem of restoring bluing and the costly procedure for
applying new bluing using special accessories, we offer ємо KLEVER Brünierung, with which you can deal with
minor damage yourself. Usage KLEVER Brünierung, plus care with the use of BALLISTOL or GUNEX, will quickly
give you the desired deep black matte finish. This coating is resistant to wear and impervious to oils. With
elemental skills, you can get the same results as those obtained in the process of real bluing. If you have
a little more experience, then with KLEVER Brünierung you will be able to blot even complex barrels or
individual parts such as screws, nuts and bolts. Please note that steel containing more than four chromium
residues cannot be blued. The same applies to cases made of aluminum or zinc. There are special products for
these metals.
Instructions for use:
For uniform bluing, the part to be blued must be completely cleaned of dirt. For such pre-cleaning, we
recommend ROBLA Kaltentfetter. Apply this cleaner with a brush to the part you want to blot, and then wipe
it off. Repeat this procedure several times, but for the last time, do not wipe the cleaner completely, but
just let it drain itself. When the part is dry again, use another brush and apply to the surface of the part
KLEVER Brünierung. After one or two minutes, a yellow coating will appear on it. Therefore, you can rinse
your part in plenty of water. Then blot the re-installed area with a paper napkin. And finally use a spray
BALLISTOL or GUNEX, and use a cotton cloth to remove any excess oil. Therefore, the new bluing will turn
deep black.
Warning!
KIEVER Brünierung contains mineral acid. Like all mineral acids, it is a caustic substance. So be careful
when working. If acid gets on your skin, mucous surfaces, or eyes, immediately flush them with water or
consult a doctor. Make sure that KLEVER Brünierung don't get under your feet - those, because once there, it
can burn the thin cuticles on your nails. There are always a lot of bacteria in the nail bed, which can
cause painful inflammation and onychitis. The best protection for your hands is to use thick rubber gloves.
IV. How to save butt stocks
Most of the butt stocks are so – called oil butt stocks, meaning that the tree of the butt stocks is already
soaked in oils by the manufacturer. In addition, there are burnt butts, mainly on English rifles and on
weapons of special connoisseurs. However, regardless of the butt style of your weapon, a series of our
products BALSIN it is the best of modern butt care products.
Balsin-Schaftöl - oil butt stocks: transparent-red-brown – dark brown
gives a new silky shine to even old, fragile and damaged butt stocks from suitable conditions. Using a
special silicone formula, Balsin-Stockoil makes the butt wood water - resistant, protects it from rot and
mold, preserves its texture and increases its resistance to weather influences. Therefore, the butt remains
smooth and clean. Balsin-Schaftöl – it is absolutely ideal for preventive maintenance of butt stocks made of
walnut wood, as well as other untreated wood materials. We strongly recommend it for the care of unpolished
furniture.
Balsin-Schaftöl available in various colors, such as transparent, red-brown, and dark brown. The last two
will help you, in particular, in the process of working with natural wood - to achieve the desired shade, as
well as to re – paint the wood. To enhance the imitation effect and for regular care after hunting, we
recommend Balsin-Schaftöl Hell (transparent).
Instructions for use:
First, the butt should be treated with corundum sandpaper (grain size 280) to completely free the surface
from unevenness. Then the butt is sanded again with a finer corundum paper (grain size 400) so as to get a
smooth surface. After that, wipe the wood with a lint-free cotton cloth. If there are dents or chips on the
butt, then these damages should be treated first with a file so that the surface is smooth and smooth. Of
course, this procedure is unnecessary if the butt is already smooth and if it only needs to be polished.
Now the butt that has been cleaned of dust and residues can be evenly covered Balsin- Schaftöl. This can be
done with a brush or with a cloth dipped in Balsin-Schaftöl; or you can apply the product to the butt, then
rub it and spread it evenly over the surface. The frequency of repetition of this procedure depends on the
shade you want to achieve. After the last coat, wipe the wood with a lint-free cotton cloth. Form a cloth in
the form of a ball and rub the product in a circle (in small circles) so that the product penetrates as well
as possible into all the pores of the wood. If you do not have a lint - free cloth at hand, then the last
procedure can be performed with the thumb of your glove. Therefore, the butt has an excellent silky shine
and is protected from rain, moisture, rot and mold for a long period of time.
V. Muzzle-loading weapons, emasculated weapons, and signal weapons
For removing and cleaning black powder residues, for example, in muzzle-loading, emasculated and signal
weapons, BALLISTOL-KLEVER developed a special product for you – ROBLA-Schwarzpulver-Solvent - black powder
solvent ROBLA.
Unlike the charge of modern ammunition, which emits almost no smoke, the remains from the combustion of black
powder consist of inorganic salts, soot and other combustion products. These residues stimulate corrosion
processes in the trunk much more strongly,
knife remnants from gunpowder of modern ammunition. Weapons oils – and all of them are produced on an
organic basis-cannot properly neutralize these residues. That's why you need ROBLA-Schwarzpulver-Solvent,
which will perfectly cope with this problem.
Instructions for use:
Soak the patch or felt plug attached to your ramrod, or the brush purchased with your blank gun, in the
solvent ROBLA- Schwarzpulver-Solvent. Then pull the patch or other several times through the barrel that you
want to clean. The frequency of this procedure depends on the intensity of accumulation of residues in the
trunk. Similarly, you should clean the chambers of a blank weapon. Then the parts that need to be cleaned
need to be wiped with a new patch, both after a single broach procedure, and after the last broach with
multiple procedures. BALLISTOL it should be applied as described in the first section. For optimal results,
it is recommended to repeat this procedure several times.
Warning!
ROBLA-Schwarzpulver-Solvent can damage the bluing on your weapon. Therefore, try to avoid getting the solvent
on the bluing. If it happens that a little solvent gets on the bluing, the solvent should be immediately
blotted, and the place where the solvent got should be rinsed with water. After processing with a solvent
ROBLA-Schwarzpulver-Solvent never leave your weapons lying around for long periods of time. After cleaning,
your weapon needs final processing with BALLISTOL. If the solvent gets into your eyes, immediately flush
your eyes with water. If the solvent gets on your skin, just wipe it off.
VI. Some recommendations for storing weapons
In addition to all the safety instructions, which of course are well known to you, there are some additional
aspects that may also be of interest to you. Always store your weapons in a dry place. Usually, these
conditions are easily met by storing weapons in a gun cabinet at normal room temperature and medium
humidity. Despite this – although very rarely-your weapon can be corroded even with the best possible care.
Don't blame the gun oil you used, especially if you used it BALLISTOL or GUNEX. Instead, look for other
causes that may have caused the corrosion. For example, if you kept your ammo close to your weapon. Each
cartridge emits gases, although in a very small amount, which is difficult to fix. In principle, this is not
surprising, because the charges of cartridges consist of very unstable components, the structure of which
involves combustion. During a flash, the combustion process should occur extremely quickly, but even at room
temperature, these components also undergo certain transformations. That is why the shelf life of cartridges
is limited. Whether the released gases, when combined with water, will lead to corrosion depends on both the
quality and quantity of ammunition stored. In addition, it should be taken into account that in fact the air
in the cabinet does not change, so the accumulation of toxic gases is very possible. Therefore, you should
store your ammunition separately from your weapons, if possible behind a separate partition or in a separate
drawer. Regular ventilation is an effective preventive measure.
VII. What else would you like to know about BALLISTOL
By the developer BALLISTOL there is Dr. Helmut-Wolgang Klever, the son of the founder of the company, which
was attracted for its needs by the army of the German Reich. We needed an oil that could be used for many
purposes, for example, for weapons and wounds, and that could be carried in a soldier's field satchel to
provide first aid for minor wounds. At that time, such a seemingly contradictory combination of medical
and the technical aspects were not unusual. Think, for example, of Vaseline, which was then used both as a
lubricant, as an additional component in dressings, and in the cosmetics industry.
The year of birth, so to speak BALLISTOL it became 1905. This brand name comes from the word “ballistics”.
Thanks to its versatility and high quality BALLISTOL it began to be in great demand. It is no exaggeration
to say that BALLISTOL it cannot be compared with any other similar oil. The founding parents of our company
liked to experiment, and then find new areas of application BALLISTOL: from the care of weapons to the
treatment of wounds, from the remedy for certain internal diseases to mycosis pedis (foot epidermophytosis)
and psoriasis, from the drying of the crest in chickens to catarrh in rabbits, from the treatment of the
ears of hunting dogs to problems from saddles in horses, from irritation caused by shooting, to pain in the
buttocks from the ride. At the same time, creative amateurs and artisans found new and new ways to use it
BALLISTOL: tools used in the field of mechanical and precision mechanics and for all mechanisms and motors
made of iron and steel; anything that needs corrosion protection and should be easy to move. From a car to a
workbench in industry, from bicycles, locks, door holders, gardening tools to mechanical clocks, water
meters, beverage filling equipment and sausages production. In addition to highly effective corrosion
protection and in addition to lubrication, BALLISTOL it can also be much more: it is also a decontaminator;
this is why many dentists used it before the Second World War BALLISTOL for storing and disinfecting tools.
In some hospitals, it is still used today in the process of steam sterilization of surgical instruments and
equipment. There are no reservations about using it BALLISTOL as a medical product. Animal experiments have
shown that even if the creature's stomach is completely filled BALLISTOL this will not cause any harm to the
animal and will not lead to poisoning. According to legend, sometimes it happened that a small child
mistakenly drank a whole bottle BALLISTOL. And without any harm, except, perhaps, that the next day this
child felt slightly dizzy.
After the Second World War, a new law on the production and use of medicines was adopted; the law established
a mandatory distinction between NEO- BALLISTOL registered as a medical product, and BALLISTOL, which,
according to this law, could no longer be advertised as a medicinal product. Otherwise, it could be
registered as a medical product, which meant that it could only be sold in pharmacies. Thus, BALLISTOL
developed in NEO-BALLISTOL, which is no longer a protection against corrosion, but has an ever - increasing
therapeutic effect due to the addition of valuable natural substances to it.
Instead BALLISTOL and they still produce it as it was produced since 1905, without any changes. Four or five
generations of riflemen relied on irreplaceable ingredients BALLISTOL. Valuable natural substances used for
the production of BALLISTOL,- these are substances of extreme purity, the same as those that they are used
in medicine, they are under strict control. So, if the bottle is well corked, then BALLISTOL it can be
stored for 25 years or more without losing its fine liquid consistency, without thickening and loss of
effectiveness. After being stored for twenty – five years or so, only its color may change slightly-it will
become slightly darker. BALLISTOL I also got what we call an environmental plus. In contrast to all other
technical oils contained in most types of weapons oils, the oil contained in the BALLISTOL, does not poison
drinking water. In addition, substances used in BALLISTOL, are part of nature, are components of natural
circulation, and therefore are biodegradable.
