Is this pure Ballistol, moose milk, or other?

[TDM]

Yep, I think I’ll continue to mix my own.

The bottle was about $7.

Cost me $1.47 at my Walmart. Thought I’d try it.

Never see anything like this at the local Wally's in my area... coarse they don't sell guns either... DFW metro mess.
I REALLY need to move.

When it smells like fermented sweat socks and jock straps it is Ballistol derived IMHO Absolut Yucky.

Looks like Ballistol and water to me, I mix my own but it might be a good alternative for some. Let us know how it works.

Any time Ballistol is mentioned the negative Nancy people come out of the woodwork don't they.

The back doesn’t give any details. The liquid inside is milky white, like Ballistol mixed with water and it smells like Ballistol.

If it looks like Ballistol and water and smells like Ballistol and water it most likely is! I haven't seen the product but if it's cheap enough I might get some otherwise I'll just mix my own. I believe it says 8 to 1 ratio for cleaning on the can.

Fermented socks and jock straps smell way better than this concoction. Smells more like a 50-year-old outhouse privy on a 100-degree August day with no wind. That's beyond nasty. I'm gonna stick with my castor oil/Murphy's/alcohol mixture.

Made in China!

The picture of the back of the bottle clearly states made in the USA

It looks like we have pics from 2 members. One says made in USA, one says made in China... maybe sent over seas to save money.

The sku numbers are the same on both bottles.

My wife won't allow it in the house... smart gal. If I use it in the detached garage, which is very seldom, I have to scrub up outside.

There seems to be a lot of us, ya think and I consider myself in good company with Zonie, Rifleman1776 & others. Ballistol works for some things but not everything like they claim.

never could see any great benefit to Ballistol. plus as soon as i'd crack the lid my lungs started congesting. i used a couple bottles of it for drill/mill lube but the down side for me wasn't worth it. not saying it is bad, just bad for me.
