That's hilarious to me, because Breakfree CLP is some of the worst liquid I have put on my guns (intentionally...) especially when it comes to rust prevention. I just seems to...evaporate off of the gun. I have also tried the kind with no solvent...same issues.

I have had numerous people talk of similar experiences. Whenever I talk with military persons, I generally try to ask how their CLP performed. Most of them hate it...but it's all they had. One gentleman told me that they kept it in a spray bottle (like a windex bottle) and they would douse their .50 cal bolts in it after every belt of ammo (just squirt the top of the bolt with the feed-cover open), because it would evaporate from the heat quickly.

I really apologize, but in my usage and research, Breakfree CLP is some of the worst poo imaginable. If it works for you, I am glad, really. I just hate to see people defend it because "the military uses it" when they haven't even tried the stuff (or they haven't tried it properly). GyMac, I am not saying that is the case with you, man. I see it a lot on other forums.
