* on CLP (gun cleaner) say ... 2002 or before * | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

This stuff was developed for the military as an all-purpose cleaner, lubricant and preservative for weapons, and replaced 20-some different federal stock numbers, being used for everything from cannon bore cleaner on down. It is a synthetic diester oil base with a DuPont Teflon additive, and is available in several viscosity grades suitable for different temperature ranges. It is a very effective lubricant, will also neutralize the corrosive effects of blackpowder and chlorate primers. It will also protect guns against complete saltwater immersion for short periods. I have never seen anything better for cleaning the encrusted carbon from automatic weapons. Just coat the part, let it soak overnight, and wipe off. If you clean and lubricate with the stuff fouling seems to build up less in future use. All the various grades of CLP come under the specification Mil-L-63460, and you may see it with the suffix letters A through D, depending upon temperature range and viscosity. The only drawback I have seen with this is that when using it in the bores of sniper rifles or target rifles where you require precise first-shot accuracy, you should clean it out of the bore with Hoppes, Shooter's Choice, or Mil-C-372B, as the Teflon is persistent and causes fliers in your groups until the bore settles into a uniform condition. This is also VERY noticeable with .22 rimfire rifles, but is not a significant factor in handguns or military type semi-autos which are not used for competition. The fliers might be enough to miss a 300 yard wooodchuck, but not a deer sized animal. It is a good product. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

"All the various grades of CLP come under the specification ( "Mil-L-63460"), and you may see it with the suffix letters A through D, depending upon temperature range and viscosity. No to the question but if you find the Mil-L specification you will get the composition under that number." Charlie | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
