[johnb62]

I use Break Free almost exclusively. It does a great job.

I just started using it this year. It does wonders for corrosion resistance on weapons in my trunk.

 

[LotsofGlocks]

Great stuff

 

[Colt556]

Been using it for years!

 

[mammynun]

I use it quite a bit as well; good stuff. It has a different smell than it did in the 80's, at least different from the stuff the Army gave me. I keep some in my range bag, but I also use all sorts of other things as well... Hoppesw, Kroil, Sweets, etc...


Enjoy your Mosin; I have a lot of fun with mine!

That is great stuff. I use Hoppes 9 spiked with a bit of ammonia and after cleaning the barrel, I then use a patch that I soak with CLP. It never fails to amaze me how much more black stuff comes out with that patch!!! GREAT STUFF!!!

I've always wondered if the military's CLP is the same stuff as the commercial Break Free.

Anyone know?

I just found out about Break Free a few months ago. It's a great product. I don't use anything else anymore.

 

[SSGSAD]

There are 2 kinds, Break Free, and Break Free CLP.... Both are GREAT...
I prefer Break Free CLP....

What is the difference between the two?

 

[colt45er]

I pretty much exclusivly use CLP for cleaning and protectant. It's what I grew up using and I love it.

I will use some standard oil/grease where needed, but I suppose you could just use the CLP for cleaning and lube!

Break Free is the name of the company. Break Free CLP is the name of the product. There is also a LP that does not contain cleaners, powder blast and Carbon Cutter. As far as I know, there is no product known as just Break Free.

So, is the commercial Break Free CLP the same as the military "CLP?"

Their website takes you to the same page when selecting civilian or military...

Recent Break Free convert here. Guy I trust says it is good stuff for the AR and other autos. I still like Hoppee for my rimfires. I just like the smell of No 9.

 

[preston1026]

Break free clp spray is much better than the oil imho, can you for both cleaning and lube

 

[Lock n Load]

to the late '80s guys..... just kidding, but yes we used CLP back in the '80s on the M16A2s after a very hot water bath.

I bought a few gallon jugs when a shop closed years ago and I still have plenty left.

I actually used Break Free almost exclusively in the late 80's, but then there was a period where I couldn't find it anywhere, in any size or type package, so I went back to Hoppes for cleaning, and started using Rem Oil as lube.

This.

The LP is a touch thicker in consistency and sans cleaners.

From what some goon told me, CLP actually has a low power copper cleaner in it. I left a rifle bore with some CLP in it for a few weeks and the patches came out blue (instead of the "clean" when I initially cleaned the rifle).

My only grip with CLP is the eye stinging and burning smoke from when it is fired through an AR. Yuck, but it goes away after a while.
