Outers Gun Cleaning Kits

About Outers

Founded in 1934 by Vernon F. Dale and Oscar Egeland in Onalaska, Wisconsin, Outers has been a trusted name in firearm maintenance for nearly 90 years.

The company started with Dale's innovative Gunslick lubricant, originally operating out of his home before expanding into a full-service gun cleaning manufacturer.

During WWII, demand skyrocketed as Outers manufactured cleaning products for weapons ranging from .22-caliber rifles to anti-aircraft guns.

In 1943, the company earned the prestigious Army-Navy "E" Award for excellence in production, an honor given to only 5% of companies involved in war equipment production.

Today, as part of Vista Outdoor's portfolio, Outers continues to set industry standards for firearm maintenance with innovative products trusted by military, law enforcement, and civilian shooters worldwide.
