Default cleaner for mp15 and mp15-22....

Can i get away with just using Break Free CLP for cleaning, lubing and protecting the mp15 and mp15-22....

I've never used the stuff and wanted to get the opinion of anyone that has.

break free is great. However, I have been using MPRO-7 for years and works well. If you follow their advice on cleaning procedures, you can't go wrong. The military has been using it for years and many police and corrections departments use it. Check it out on their web site. Everyone has their own feelings on what they use.

I use it on both, at present CLP seems to do fine, I have had no issues. I actually like the CLP better than RemOil for the MP15-22.

I would recommend Gunzilla, it has been used by the military in Iraq with good results. I can vouch for it on the Smith autos and it does what the company says it will do. Clean, lubricate, and protect in one application with no smell nor harsh chemicals to irritate the skin. Here is the link so you can read the testimonials and make up your mind. You probably would have to order from the company direct, for not many shops carry it. Buy it and you will be pleased..zorro49

how often should I disassemble and clean the bcg? Is it just pulling that side retaining pin and sliding out the firing pin then twist the bolt cam? Should all the internal bcg parts be lubed?

Pull the pin out, and drop out the firing pin. Push the bolt in, turn the cam pin 90 degrees, and remove it. Then pull the bolt out of the carrier. Using a small punch, push out the extractor pin on the bolt as you push down with your thumb on the rear of the extractor, then remove the extractor.

All the gas and carbon flowing back into the receiver blows directly into the front of the carrier at the gas key. This area gets filthy with carbon, and of course the dirtiest portions are also the hardest to reach. After cleaning, don't try to lube specific parts, just spray Remoil or CLP on everything as you are reassembling. High stress areas that should definitely get a squirt of oil are the cam pin, cam pin recess, and the area where the bolt rides. Most everything else will do with a light film of lubricant.

Yep, Break Free CLP is good stuff. I also use M-PRO 7, its a great product. I also use a modified version of Ed's Red bore cleaner sometimes for cleaning and copper removal (if its needed).

When I go to the range I fire a few different weapons, and I clean after every range visit. I used to just clean after every 1000 rounds for rifles and every 500 rounds for handguns but found it eaisier to just clean now after every range visit.
