How should Butch's Bench Rest Gun Oil 4oz be applied to a clean rifle bore after using Butch's Bore Shine?

After cleaning your barrel with Butch's Bore Shine 8oz or 16oz, apply a small amount of the 02948 oil to a clean patch using the precision dispensing spout on the 4 fl oz squeeze bottle. Pass the patch through the bore to leave a thin, protective film that seals the steel against oxidisation without leaving gummy residue before your next shooting session.

Is Butch's Bench Rest Gun Oil suitable for heavy-duty slide rails or extreme long-term storage in the Australian bush?

While the proprietary natural oil blend features dedicated rust-inhibiting agents to protect against atmospheric moisture, it is designed as a lightweight conditioner rather than a heavy barrier preservative. For high-friction semi-automatic slide rails or multi-year storage, dedicated greases or vapor-phase rust inhibitors are recommended instead of this 4 oz liquid oil.

Does Butch's Bench Rest Gun Oil 4oz require any electrical certifications or dangerous goods documentation for use in Australia?

No electrical compliance such as 240V, SAA, or RCM approval is required since this is a passive liquid chemical product. Furthermore, according to the manufacturer's Safety Data Sheets, it is classified as a non-hazardous proprietary oil mixture that requires no GHS hazard labeling and is unrestricted for standard freight across Australia.

Gun Oil - Butch's 02948 4oz

Butch's Bench Rest Gun Oil (MPN 02948) is a dedicated firearm bore oil and metal conditioner formulated to protect clean barrels and lubricate internal firearm mechanisms. Designed primarily as a post-cleaning treatment, it seals rifled bores and chambers against oxidisation following the use of aggressive chemical cleaning solvents. The proprietary natural oil blend withstands high friction, heat, and pressure inside chambers while delivering a micro-thin layer of rust-inhibiting agents across carbon steels, alloy steels, and stainless steels without leaving gummy varnishes or sticky residues.

Key Features

Post-Cleaning Bore Conditioning: Formulated to penetrate and condition raw steel directly after cleaning, protecting rifling against atmospheric moisture and oxidisation.
Rust and Corrosion Inhibitors: Contains dedicated rust inhibitors that protect blued, parkerized, and stainless-steel metals during transit and standard safe storage.
High-Tolerance Heat and Pressure Resistance: Utilises a proprietary natural oil blend engineered to resist breakdown from the thermal friction and high operating pressures generated during live fire.
Residue-Free Action Lubrication: Functions as a thin, lightweight lubricant for bolt bodies, trigger assemblies, and slides to promote smooth cycling without gumming up tight-tolerance precision chambers.
Precision Dispenser Bottle: Packaged in a compact squeeze bottle fitted with a targeted dispensing spout for controlled, drop-by-drop application onto cleaning patches and internal components.
