G96 Gun Treatment

G96 Gun Treatment is an aerosol firearm-maintenance product for shooters who want one can that cleans light fouling, lubricates contact surfaces, protects against rust, and displaces moisture. What sets it apart from wipe-on oils is the aerosol delivery system, which atomizes the formula into a fine mist that penetrates internal surfaces traditional wipe-on lubricants cannot reach.

That penetrating action is the practical reason to choose G96. Firing pin channels, trigger group internals, gas system components, AR-15 charging handle channels, and shotgun action bars all benefit from a quick spray that flows into tight clearances and displaces accumulated moisture and fouling. The propellant flashes off in seconds, leaving the lubricating film behind. This is functionally the same use case as Break Free CLP aerosol, but G96 runs slightly thinner viscosity, which trades a small amount of long-term film durability for noticeably better penetration into tight clearances.

The product also includes a moisture-displacing function similar to WD-40 but optimized for firearms rather than general industrial use. Spraying G96 onto a firearm that has been exposed to rain, snow, or saltwater will drive water out of internal surfaces and replace it with the protective film. For waterfowl hunters, anyone whose carry gun gets sweated on through summer, and shooters who work outdoors in wet conditions, this matters. The honest tradeoff: G96 is an aerosol-first product, and overspray onto stocks, slings, or non-target surfaces wastes product. The 4.5oz can fits in most range bags; the 12oz can lives at the cleaning bench.
