Hopper Spit Casey 11 Oz Protective Oil for Hunting, Shooting, and Reloading

Birchwood Casey Hopper Spit® Firearm Protectant - 11 oz Aerosol Can

The Birchwood Casey Hopper Spit® Firearm Protectant is an advanced corrosion inhibitor specifically engineered to safeguard both ferrous and non-ferrous precision firearm metals against the detrimental effects of harsh environmental conditions and prolonged storage. Utilizing cutting-edge anti-corrosive technology, this protectant forms a durable, invisible barrier that resists moisture, salt, and other corrosive agents commonly encountered in field and range environments. In rigorous laboratory salt spray tests designed to simulate extreme corrosive exposure, Hopper Spit® consistently outperformed competing products, demonstrating superior longevity and metal preservation.

Key Technical Features:

• Enhanced Corrosion Resistance: Formulated to provide exceptional protection for critical firearm components made from steel, aluminum, and other metal alloys, effectively preventing rust, pitting, and oxidation during adverse weather conditions and extended storage periods.
• Proven Laboratory Performance: Validated through ASTM B117 salt fog chamber testing, Hopper Spit® delivers unmatched durability and corrosion inhibition compared to standard firearm protectants and oils.
• Effortless Application: Packaged in a convenient 11-ounce aerosol can, the product enables uniform, controlled spray coverage for all exposed metal surfaces, including barrels, receivers, bolts, and trigger assemblies, ensuring comprehensive protection with minimal overspray.
• Non-Gumming, Non-Staining Formula: Leaves a thin, dry film that does not attract dust or debris, preserving firearm functionality and ease of maintenance during repeated use and reloading cycles.

Application and Maintenance Instructions:

1. Preparation: Confirm the firearm is fully unloaded and disassembled if necessary. Clean all metal surfaces thoroughly using a suitable solvent or degreaser to remove fouling, oils, and contaminants that could inhibit adhesion.
2. Application: Shake the aerosol can vigorously for 30 seconds prior to use. Hold the can approximately 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) from the surface and apply a thin, even coat of Hopper Spit® to all exposed metallic parts, including barrels, chambers, bolts, and magazine wells.
3. Drying Time: Allow the protectant to air dry for several minutes until a dry, tack-free protective film forms. This film acts as a barrier against moisture and corrosive elements without compromising mechanical function.
4. Storage: After treatment and drying, store firearms in a cool, dry environment following best practices for firearm storage. Hopper Spit® will maintain corrosion protection throughout extended storage intervals, reducing the need for frequent reapplication.
5. Routine Maintenance: For optimal corrosion defense, reapply Hopper Spit® after each range session, exposure to inclement weather, or cleaning cycle. Regular use ensures sustained protection of metal surfaces during repeated firing and reloading operations.

Consistent use of Birchwood Casey Hopper Spit® Firearm Protectant guarantees that your firearms and precision metal components remain in peak condition, extending service life and preserving operational reliability. This product is an indispensable asset for hunters, competitive shooters, reloaders, and firearms professionals seeking superior anti-corrosion performance and dependable metal preservation under the most demanding conditions.
