CLP is a leatherman, it's meh at lots of things.
No, you don't need oil after CLP. Yes, it wears off quickly. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: CLP is a leatherman, it's meh at lots of things. No, you don't need oil after CLP. Yes, it wears off quickly. So what’s the best way to do it? And if continue using Hoppe’s oil after CLP, does that cause any issues? Concerned more about any chemical damage to the BCG finish. |

CLP is just ok as a lubricant. Oil is much better. CLP is a jack of all trades and a master of none. I use solvent and oil as well as CLP.

OK, so using Hoppe’s 9 or CLP to clean and then coating with Hoppe’s gun oil won’t hurt anything? Just don’t want to contribute to corrosion or messing up the phosphate or nitride finishes on BCG or other parts. |

Keep doing what your doing. I personally clean with breakfree clp and lube with break free LP. The L.P. is a straight lube and protectant . It's all good. WarDawg

Hopes oil is just mineral oil (baby oil). Save a ton of money and just use Motor oil as a lube, or just use CLP Break Free or better and call it good.

The CLP I’m using is branded by Mossy Oak but made by Clenzoil and is petroleum based but has very little smell. Mostly just don’t want any chemical reactions or other issues with oil on top of it. Is Break Free better in terms of lube? Never used it. |

So your putting plain mineral oil over another oil (that has a small amount of solvent in it). Just stick to the CLP. Or if you are one of those who still feels it's sketchy, ignoring over 40s years of use, use a plain solvent, and a plain oil.... but use something better than Hoippes #9 in the orange bottle. It's just mineral oil and burns off quickly. SLIP 2000, Breakfree LP, Tetra, Lucas, TW25b (I forget their oil), Breakthrough Battle Born High Purity Oil or the slightly thicker Pro version. |

The mossy oak you are using is Clenzoil which is actually pretty good stuff.
The hoppes# 9 oil is pure mineral oil (baby oil) which is obsolete crap in 2022. Drop the hoppes and just use the mossy oak for everything from now on. |

Actually the Hoppe’s oil is their black label “precision” oil, supposedly made for MSRs, but no idea if it’s really any better. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06W53FWVQ?tag=arfcom00-20 |

The black label Hoppes is supposed to be better but I doubt it is significantly better in any real way than the mossy oak (Clenzoil) you are using. If for no other reason than saving money, I would just use the Clenzoil. If you really need a more powerful bore cleaner, try Boretech Eliminator. If you need a grease, just stick with the Clenzoil brand and try their grease. |
