The website for ballistol says that it leaves a protective oil film that prevents dirt from sticking. That and other things in the description lead me to think it is a mineral oil with carriers. Isn't that the basic ingredient in the old center pin lubricants sold by the supply houses. BTW mineral oil is sold for internal use as a laxative. I'm skeptical. It's hard to believe that the European community has been using a 90 year old product that we are just now finding out about. I would proceed with caution. It's my feeling that the McLubes and Protek products serve us well. -- Ray T.
