CLP doesn't get out copper fouling from the barrels.  I sent a friend in Afghanistan a can of Outer's foaming bore cleaning and asked him to give it a try.  To shorten the story he had his maching gunner clean a M240G using what they had for cleaning which was CLP.  After examining what "looked" like a clean barrel he then used the foaming bore cleaner.  The foam went in white and instantly turned blue indicating copper fouling still present.  He had to foam the bore several more times until it was truely clean.  He showed it to his Bn. commander who immediately ordered it and was used extensively from then on.

I use it on my AR's but flush the gas tube out with brake wash spray cleaner and you can't beleive the crud that come out the end of the barrel.  As for lube, I'm sorry but I'm stuck in 1967 and use military LSA for lube on my AR's.  The most I ever shot my M-16E1 was a little over 2000 rounds in one night without any problems.  Needless to say my friend needed a good cleaning the next morning but like a Timex, it took a beating and kept on ticking.

good.

Since you said, G I have to assume you mean Marines since we started with Gs although they are all Bs right now.  The BN Gunner and ordinance chief should have told the BN CO, not only is that not authorized its really all that important for a machine gun.

Were you using the G-96 Gun Treatment or the G-96 Synthetic CLP?

Also, what were the various tests that you performed?

Sure Breakfree is good oil.

My post in the FL thread. Summary: BF CLP is good.

I clean with Hoppes and lube with CLP.

I purchased an unfired browning B92 that was from AZ. All blue, and the receiver particularly they state must always be oiled. It arrived completely dry, and obviously had been for years. There was not a spot of rust or any discoloration - completely mint. AZ is too dry to allow rust is my only conclusion. I wouldn't push that, but it certainly isn't a representative environment.
