Gun Butter
Gun Butter is a synthetic gun oil formulated for high lubricity and long-lasting protection on moving metal parts. Impact Guns carries it in two precision applicator formats — a pen oiler and a needle oiler — both built for controlled, targeted application rather than a drip or spray that oversaturates a part.

Pen Oiler vs. Needle Oiler
The pen oiler applies oil through a fine felt-tip point, good for wiping a thin, even film along a slide rail or barrel exterior. The needle oiler dispenses through a thin metal needle tip, better suited to reaching tight internal spots — a trigger pin, a sear, or deep inside a bolt carrier group — without oil running where it isn’t wanted.
Where to Apply Gun Oil
Focus oil on metal-on-metal contact points that see the most friction during cycling: slide rails, barrel exterior, bolt carrier group, and trigger group pins. A little goes a long way — a thin film prevents wear and corrosion better than a heavy, dust-attracting coat.
How Often to Oil Your Firearm
Reapply after any cleaning that strips the previous oil film, and check high-friction points periodically during heavy range use, particularly in dusty or humid conditions where oil breaks down or attracts grit faster.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Gun Butter format should I buy first?
The needle oiler is the more versatile option for reaching tight internal parts; the pen oiler is convenient for quick, even coverage on exterior surfaces like slide rails.
Can Gun Butter be used on all firearm types?
Yes — it’s a general-purpose synthetic gun oil suited to handguns, rifles, and shotguns alike.
