Where and why should gun oil be applied?
Your gun is made mainly of metal, meaning it requires particular upkeep to avoid the appearance of corrosion. Our oil is designed with the particular aim of helping to inhibit corrosion. Another possible use of the oil for guns is to reduce friction between two mechanical parts in order to make the mechanism smoother and prevent wear and tear due to excessive friction. This oil also enables you to protect your gun during long periods of storage.
User advice for external application.
Depending on the surface to cover, the application method may vary. In the case of a large surface, the most practical and consistent method is to soak a soft cloth in oil and wipe the parts to protect with the cloth. For a more localised application, it is possible to deposit a few drops directly onto the gun and spread with a cloth or cotton bud depending on the shape of the zone being treated.
User advice for application to mechanical parts
The oil, as well as protecting the metal, allows you to reduce friction between mechanical parts in contact with each other. Its aim is two-fold: make the mechanism smoother or the action easier as well as protect against wear and tear of varying speeds as a result of steel-on-steel friction. It is nevertheless important to know that it is not advisable to apply oil directly or indirectly (risk of running) onto the trigger mechanism. The risk of this is to cause an unintentional release.
Operating temperature range
The range of use of an oil in any case is the temperature range within which the oil remains in liquid form. Our oil remains in liquid form between -20° C and +244°C. Below this temperature range, you risk solidifying the oil, thus potentially blocking or impeding the smooth functioning of the mechanism. Above this temperature range, you risk the spontaneous combustion of the oil.
