Breakfree CLP?

I use it for light cleaning/oiling the bore and various parts on all my guns. for really dirty guns I use a copper solvent and or Hoppes #9 then. CLP at the end.

When in the field/camp, I carry a can for clp and a bore snake and rag for quick cleanup (shotguns especially).

I do use grease on my rails on all semi's.
 
CLP is a very good lube in my opinion for 1911's and other semi-autos / and revolvers ....but only Fair as a cleaning agent in my opinion.
 
breakfree

breakfree is what the military uses for bore cleaning and lube. I find no problem with it. In time you can scrub barrel with a quality bore cleaner if it looks to fouled up..........................
 
When I am finished shooting a revolver I spray it down with WD-40 to loosen the carbon. Then I wipe away the carbon gunk with a rag and, if necessary, clean the cylinder chambers and bore with something like Butches. Then I clean with Breakfree CLP. I go over the outside of the revolver with a short stiff brush (like a stencil brush sold at Walmart and Hobby Lobby) which has been soaked in Breakfree. This gets down into all the nooks and crannies. I let it set overnight and then gently wipe the excess Breakfree off. I buy Breakfree CLP by the gallon. On the rails of my autos and my rifle bolts I use a little Tetra grease.
 
I've been using Breakfree CLP for the last 3 years without any problems. The only thing I don't use it for is cleaning dirty bores otherwise it goes on everything else.
 
BreakFree makes two kinds of solvents/lubricants: LP ( "Lubricant/Preservative; For rapid fire automatic and stainless firearms-The ultimate lube for intensive and sustained fire for rapid-fire automatic and sustained fire firearms; Originally developed for manufacturers of military heavy automatic artillary to keep the weapons working under long sustained firing during battle; Consistent cyclic rates are maintained and actions operate smoother and easier even under extended firing periods with LUBRICANT/PRESERVATIVE; Especially good for polymer composition automatics and to prevent galling on stainless steel automatics; Non-solvent formula minimizes drain-off of holstered firearms") and CLP ("Cleans ...a special cleaning action that breaks loose dirt and corrosion that damage metal. Special penetrating formula displaces trapped grit and frees sticky, rusted or corroded mechanisms. Lubricates...Keeps parts working smoother and easier...for improved boundry film strength that reduces friction, retards wear and stops the build-up of foreign matter. Preserves...provides a long-lasting protective coating that shields all metal from rust and corrosion.")


I use both variants for their intended purposes and have been satisfied with the results.
 
I cleaned my Army issue weapons with Break Free for 20+years... Its ok but there is better stuff out there and it is not top of the line for cold weather or heavy sand environments (it a general all around ok)
 
I used Hoppe's for long time (when I was much younger) but I now use Break Free for everything. I've got a bunch of solvants/cleaners, but I have not found anything better than Break Free CLP. I like to spray gunk out with Bore Blast, but I finish with CLP.
