Re: break free CLP

if it is alomst transparent it is not the version the Marine Corps uses. The stuff we use is light brown.

Re: break free CLP

yes its light brown in colour
it's the plastic or I should say nylon bottle that is almost transparent (frosted)

Re: break free CLP

We used to get it in clear bottles. That was about 8 to 10 years ago since I've seen it in the clear bottle. We now get it commercial off the shelf in the black bottle.

Re: break free CLP

get the spray break free. best clp i have ever used. it stays lubed and sand and dirt doesnt cling to parts as much as other clps. you dont even need much and it stays on for a while. it works great on machine guns.

Re: break free CLP

I could repeadily never get all the product out of the pressurized spray cans (w/o prematurely losing pressure) or it would spray like shit. Ultimately, I would have to puncture the can to use up the product. Then I quit buying the spray.

You have to type very slowly for Marines.

At one time I bought into all the big name instructors' ad copy about their favorite space goop and I tried all the fancy-schmancy, high tech lubes on my 3-gun kit (AKM, G22, 870). But I found nothing worked better than the plain old Break Free I used in Uncle Sam's Hunt Club.

Your AKM, G22 and 870 are not dependent on lubricant. If you are running a weapon system that is (AR15), CLP is a poor lube: it burns off far too quickly.

You are right. I never should have believed what I saw with my own eyes while pouring thousands and thousands of rounds downrange. (keep in mind I was a SAW gunner at one point).

While there are better lubes out there, CLP is still good to go and your weapon will not be worse off for it.

Re: break free CLP

CLP works on everything. There may be better for some apps.But for all around use CLP is hard to beat. I like slip 2000 for ar bolt carriers and triggers also.

That sarcasm is real cute, I was a SAW gunner before too and you should already know that the SAW, like the 240 is a reliable weapon in general that does not need a lot of lube to function. An AR15 running on only CLP will be bone dry in about 150 shots rapid fire.

My point is that although it does serve its intended use as an all-purpose, compared to other stuff out there, including other lubes in the system like LSA, CLP sucks.

You ever try to run a Mk19 with CLP?

Re: break free CLP

CLP really brings out the flavor of chilli mack MRE #12....

I've been happy with most of the synthetic lubes,but I'll always have a can of CLP for backup.

Same here, except with M16A1, M16A2s, and M60s.

Anyone can put any kind of wonder concoction they want on a weapon. More power to 'em. But calling CLP "junk" is just ignorant. That's the koolaid talking. Too many have used it successfully for far too long for that bullshit to go down.

Contrary to what Samuel L. Jackson movie quotes tell you, the AKM is not a completely infallible firearm and does require some lubrication and maintenance to be trouble-free.

The fact that it's exponentially less than that required by the M16-based family of weapons notwithstanding, the fact remains some lubrication is still required for trouble-free operation.

CLP works well in that regard, although I tend to throw a drop of Militec on both the upper and lower rails after cleaning--so about once a year.

I have never seen anyone use CLP on the MK's there is this Horse Cum lookin shit that we used

The MK wasnt designed to use CLP. We always had this Horse Cum lookin shit. Slop that shit on there and Iraqi dust didnt stand a chance

Re: break free CLP

CLP works great in anything that doesn't shit where it eats, ie anything not gas operated like the AR's. AR's will always burn their stuff up afer a few rounds. Op Rod weapons don't burn their stuff off near as fast in teh hotter spots. I have fired my FAL 4 mags with only stopping for mag change and the bolt still had most of it's oil in and on it. Th end of the op rod where the gas exits the barrel and moves the op rod however was dirty and dry on the end, but still oily two inches back. Panty 6's SKS though, that sucker will fire all damn day and not eat it's lube at all

I really don't want to know your previous experience with Horse Cum in order to make the comparison. LOL!!!

Sorry, I couldn't resist

I've used slip 2000 for my last 2 deployments and my personal opinion it works a little better than break free. Doesn't attract as much dust and crap. I think its tends to keep the weapon better lubed whenever your firing large amounts of rounds before you get a chance to clean it again.

...i figured someone would know what I was talkin about. Looks like you have a story or two to explain as well. LOL. I believe LSA is the correct name

Re: break free CLP

I have used LSA for mnay years in all my class III weapons (this includes MG 34, MG 42, M2HB, 1910 Maxim DPM M16A1, M1A FA and others) and it has never failed me. On weapons That don't see heavy use I also use Break Free.

Try the Break-free SMX

Re: break free CLP

Break free sux.
If you are in the field, it is better than nothing.
Worthless as a cleaner, mediocre as a lube and mediocre as a protectant.
You are much better off with #9 as a cleaner and motor oil as a lube.

Hey Guys,

Works ok for those of us who are not allowed to touch automatic weapons.

Re: break free CLP

I actually like the bottle and I put some on a patch and it is great for putting on the action of my GAP and on the bolt carrier of my AR. The spray just oozes out the side while the saturated patch method stays and does not ooze out.
