If lubrication is your goal, there are LOTS of better choices.
If rust protection is your goal, it kind of depends on the circumstances. It's fair at that for inside, low humidity situations.
Rarely does one product fill both roles the "best".
Cleaning is cleaning, & depends on what you are trying to clean. Again, a dedicated cleaner will almost always work "best".

Hi MontanaMan,
My goal is to do the best possible job I can do on every aspect of my M1917 while refinishing it.
The rifle has fed me for years so it deserves the best. I bought Ballistol, based on one particular video I watched by a very serious gun collector.
I am open to all suggestions, and definitely not adverse to using different lubricants for different parts of the barrel and action.
