So who uses Ballistol on their AR?

I am an avid user of Ballistol and have been for some time. I however just got my first AR (Bushmaster XM-15). I have used Ballistol on every gun I have without giving it a second thought until now. Ballistols website says it is perfectly fine to use an aluminum, however it would be nice to have some real time experienced feed back on this issue.

Anyone ever notice adverse effects from using Ballistol on their aluminum frames ?

I use one part Ballistol to 9 parts distilled water to dissolve and flush out the corrosive residue of surplus ammo before leaving the range when the bores are still hot. At home I give everything a thorough cleaning using Kroil.

I use it on all my firearms. Mostly as a solvent for my AR's and AK's. I use white lithium grease for lubrication on them. I also use Ballistol on my beard trimmer and hair clippers every time I use them. Has kept them very sharp and working great for years!
