Witham Gun Care Range Featured in Shooting Times & Country Magazine

The Witham Gun Care range was recently featured in an article about gun cleaning and care in Shooting Times & Country Magazine.

The article, written by Felix Petit, highlights the importance of regular gun maintenance using appropriate products. Witham Gun Oil and Biodegradable Gun Oil, both featured in the article, help protect guns from degradation and oxidation.

Extract from the article

Director of group marketing at the Witham Group, Ali Bottom, believes the most important thing is to protect guns from oxidation. “Lubricating with the correct products will offer effective protection from the major issue of oxidisation, or rust of the internal barrel and other types of degradation of exterior gun components directly impacting its precision, functionality and the value of the asset,” she says.

Historically, I have perhaps not concentrated on the volume of oil I have been dispensing and have maybe even grabbed a tin of WD-40 on occasion rather than something designed for the task. This, Ali says, is a major mistake. “Using the correct amount of specifically designed products is crucial, as general lubricators and cleaners can be incredibly harmful to the delicate mechanisms of the gun as well as its wooden or plastic stocks.”

The Witham Group has been manufacturing lubricants for over 100 years so the provenance of this advice seems sound. Witham has used this heritage of expertise to push the sector on and uniquely, its gun care range includes a light viscosity, mineral-based gun oil as well as an award-winning, environmentally safe, biodegradable option. This has the same lubricating qualities as its traditional counterparts without using undesirable petrochemicals.

Witham’s Biodegradable Gun Oil is made using lanolin, the same wax secreted by sheep to waterproof their wool. Robert Falcon Scott used it to sooth his sores on his ill-fated journey to the South Pole. The benefit of this lanolin-based product is that it can also be used to protect a wooden stock as well as the metal components. “This biodegradable option is available for gun users who want the high performance of traditional gun oil but with less user and environmental impact,” says Ali.

Witham Group’s gun care products are trusted by firearm users of all levels.  To find out more or buy online visit:
