Ballistol and Blueing

Is ballistol safe to use on blued metal?

In the past I've wiped a few drops of ballistol over the action and barrel. Would some other mineral oil be safer or better?

Wonderful stuff. Ages old too.

I have one can for the range and one that stays on the bench:bthumb:

I use other stuff too. TW25 on the slide rails of my 239 SIG and my carry gun a CW9 KAHR.

But for quickie bore wipes and general light lube it works just as goo as it did 100 years ago.

Safe fore skin and safe to breath the pleasant odor.

And yes it makes bluing look great.
