BREAK FREE CLP

[DB404]

Just FWIW, thought I'd add my two bits. For decades I had used BreakFree as a general cleaner, lubricant, protectant. Never had a problem with it on 1911s, M29s, Combat Mags, etc. But, I am now wondering if it may cause problems in certain applications. Going through a J frame rimfire phase, used BF on them, blue and stainless, in the same manner as I did with my center fire Smiths (J, K, L, N, S). Began having difficulty ejecting empties with all of them, whether .22 LR or .22 Magnum (3 ea M34, 1 ea M651, 2 ea M51). It was often necessary to knock empties out one at a time with a cleaning rod (I prefer to not pound on the ejector rod unless its an emergent situation). The guns spanned manufacturing dates from the mid 1960s through the early 90s. This was consistent behavior with all 6 rimfires, with all the different brands of ammo I could find to try. Prior owners of the guns reported no such problems, tho they did say they used the old Hoppes #9 liquid for general cleaning. They reported being able to go through 50 round box after box without any such problems. Tip it up, hit the ejector rod, reload. The BreakFree spanned dates from mid 1970s to early 2000s.

I buy CLP by the gallon. great stuff and its like WD40 million uses for it. I had a fire ant nest the size of spare tire in my back yard. I try it all from sprays to powder and nothing worked. I day I grab my spray bottle of CLP and sprayed the nest. The next days it looked a nuke when off. killed them all, I have no clue how it killed the ones underground. But it was ground zero......... Try it!

I can’t imagine it’s good for peoples if it kills like that.

Letting You Know

Unfortunately, most of the non-toxic stuff I've tried over the years (not just for guns) never worked all that well. I wish it did, but we pay a price for non-toxic in the fact that it lacks performance. If you find one that works great and is non-toxic, please let us know.

Mil-Comm's 25b grease. Clean well first time. I heat the metal the first time. I apply and let it set___I gave it thirty minutes and then wipe it off 'till no white shows. Reportedly used on military
Gatling guns. Sure would like some one to verify that for me.
Cleaning weapon after this is easy.
