Cleaner spray?

[woodknack]

What do you guys use to clean out the trigger group. I bought some Winchester break free but am afraid to use it on plastic.
What do you guys use to spray and clean out the grit on the trigger group?

Wd-40 and a q-tip and some compressed air has been working well for me... remember wd-40 is a cleaner not a lube, you will still need to oil it lightly

well thats a lot cheaper way of doing it! I will have to try that. I am some times to lazy to go out in the garage and start the compressor! LOL. My gun room and cleaning room is in my office in the house. I do go out side to spray parts though.

Another option is to use the S&W line of cleaning products.

Smith & Wesson Non-Aerosol Synthetic-Safe Gun Cleaner

I use break free CLP on mine without issue.
Remember it's not made of regular plastic, it's a composite polymer.

DITTO: Compressed air, and followed with a couple drops of Rem-oil(teflon) on the hammer and trigger pins.

Just brush it out.

Winchester is a trademark and brand name.

Break Free is a trademark and brand name.

Two separate companies. No such thing as Winchester Bread Free.

I have yet to clean the trigger group. Near 14k rounds. Looks pretty clean to me. Though, every 2-3k rounds I give the general area a quick shot of Rem Oil from the aerosol can.

Well there may be no "bread" free. But there certainly is "Winchester Break Free."

That's Break Free (tm) in a Winchester can. Winchester is paying a royalty to use it. Or Break Free is paying Winchester.

But "Break Free" doesn't mean CLP. Break Free CLP is CLP, of course.

Yeah whats the deal with this winchester/break free thing? I've alwayse used break free but recently I can't find CLP, only winchesters version. If it was same thing I wouldn't care but the winchester stuff comes out as a foam then turns to liquid. And no, it's not the can marked foam, it's the regular stuff.

Someone is licensing someone else's name like an Eddie Bauer Ford Explorer. In this case Ford is paying EB.

FP10 is good CLP as is Remington CLP. Not sure who has the current Army contract for the real CLP. Used to be Royal Lubricants.

Military CLP is a spec, not a product. Bottle on my desk is marked MIL-L-63460D AMD 3 (NSN 9150-01-054-6453) but I'm not sure it's the latest spec.
