Bore Tech Friction Guard XP Gun Oil is a specially formulated synthetic blend of oils with cutting edge additives that provide high performance lubrication and enhanced rust and corrosion properties that exceed MIL-PRF-63460E requirements.
FRICTION GUARD XP GUN OIL
-100˚F to 600˚F Operating Range | Superior Corrosion Protection |
Decreases Friction & Wear By 95% | Conditions Bore |
Friction Guard XP’s technologically advanced formulation incorporates proprietary additives that penetrate deep into the metal’s pores and bond to the metal’s surface creating an enhanced film strength layer that provides superior anti-wear properties over a wide range of operating temperatures. Friction Guard XP will not burn off under extreme temperatures found during full auto fire or become sticky and gummy in the extreme cold with a -100˚F to 600˚F operating range.
The Friction Guard XP also offers unparalleled protection against rust and corrosion by forming an effective barrier film on the surface. This micro thin film has surpassed 100 hours in the ASTM B-117 salt spray test and proven to effectively displace moisture and neutralize corrosive residues.
A light coat of Friction Guard XP during storage continues to condition the metal surface. It will not attract dust or debris and helps repel fouling during shooting.
Bore Tech’s Friction Guard XP is the enhanced oil of choice for the extreme shooter, hunter or enthusiast looking for nothing but the best.
Bore Tech Friction Guard XP Gun Oil Use Instructions
UNLOAD FIREARM
1) Clean areas to be treated with Bore Tech Blast Degreaser and let dry.
2) Next, apply Friction Guard XP to all moving parts. Cycle the parts several times to distribute oil evenly.
3) If applying to bore, wet a Bore Tech patch/mop and pass through bore until a light coat of oil is present.
4) Before using firearm, always run a dry patch through the bore. This will remove any residue and ensure against obstructions.
Q: When do I use the Friction Guard XP Gun Oil instead of Shield XP Rust Preventative?
A: Friction Guard XP is recommended for use internally (rifle bores) to protect against rust and corrosion or as a lubricant on moving parts. The Shield XP is recommended for use on the exterior of firearms to protect against rust and corrosion and is not a lubricant. Please see our convenient and easy to use Lubricant/Preventative Selection Guide in the Specifications Tab or in the Knowledge Center.
Q: Can I use Friction Guard XP inside my bore?
A: Yes, the Friction Guard XP can be used inside your bore to protect against rust and corrosion for extended periods.

Bore Tech Information
Proof Positive Benefits?
Bore Tech’s Proof-Positive feature is a major innovation in firearm cleaning, designed to eliminate false positive indications of copper fouling. Traditional cleaning jags and loops are typically made from brass, which contains copper. When using ammonia-based copper solvents, these brass components can react chemically, producing a blue or green color in the solvent. This color change often misleads shooters into believing there is still copper fouling in the bore when, in reality, the reaction is coming from the jag itself. Bore Tech’s Proof-Positive jags and loops are made from a proprietary, brass-free alloy that eliminates this problem. This means any color change in the solvent is a true indication of copper fouling in the bore, allowing for more accurate and reliable cleaning.
The Proof-Positive feature is particularly beneficial for shooters who demand precise barrel maintenance, such as competitive marksmen, hunters, and gunsmiths. By removing the interference caused by brass jags, Bore Tech ensures that users don’t waste time and solvent chasing false copper indications. Additionally, Proof-Positive jags and loops are precision-machined for a perfect patch fit, ensuring thorough bore contact and more effective cleaning. This leads to less solvent waste, reduced cleaning time, and a properly maintained barrel, which ultimately enhances firearm accuracy and longevity. For anyone serious about firearm care, Proof-Positive technology is a game-changer, providing a smarter and more efficient cleaning process.
Which Rod Size
When choosing a Bore Tech cleaning rod for your rifle, you need to consider the barrel length and action type to ensure you get the right rod length. A good rule of thumb is to select a rod that is at least 6-8 inches longer than your rifle's barrel to accommodate the action and allow for full stroke cleaning. For bolt-action rifles, measure from the chamber to the muzzle and add extra length for comfortable use. For AR-style rifles, you may need an even longer rod due to the upper receiver's design. Bore Tech rods typically come in lengths ranging from 36 inches to 50 inches, so selecting the right one depends on your rifle’s specifications.
