Most people I know, in fact, buy one can and never buy more. I wonder why???
No USA military uses Ballistol. Funny thing, I posted very similar comments on Hickok45's youtube page. He deleted the comments. He didn't want to discuss it. AND for sure Midway rarely allows one and two star reviews. They just are not published.
Why are you defending Ballistol so much?
Hardening snot, huh? Sounds like you got a defective can or an imitation product. Take pictures of that and post it here and to Ballistol's customer service, they might have given you a refund.
My gallon can of Ballistol is probably 10 years old, only has about 1/4th left in it and still looks, feels and smells like it did the day I got it.
Ballistol is approved for military use and does have a Nato Supply Number. That means anyone authorized to make purchases on behalf of a Nato military unit can order it at any time. And we all know that many junk oils that gum up get that approval....

Hickock45 probably deleted your comments because he found them strange and not helpful. He owns and shoots a lot of guns, if Ballistol was not working for him, he probably wouldn't use it or recommend it. Hickock45 only has two sponsors, Bud's gun shop and Federal ammunition. The kicker is that Bud's gun shop does not sell Ballistol and Federal has no connection to Ballistol either. And No, I am not connected to or work for Ballistol. I think you can put your conspiracy away with that one...

I don't use Ballistol quite as much these days but I still think it is a good product for what it is and I still find good use for it. Your negative experiences with Ballistol and other products (Corrosion-X was it?) discussed on this site have to be the rarest and strangest I have ever heard. I initially replied here to provide feedback about Ballistol in order help the O.P. and I still think I am doing that, more than you are. That being said, Why are you bashing Ballistol so much?
