I have always been told by both the Army when they used it and by the Manufacturer that you SHOULD NOT MIX Militec with any other lubricant. I witnessed a guy on the range mix Militec and CLP. I t turned a blueish color and changed consistancy to an elmers like goop. Turned a decent m16 to a jam-o-matic.
My advice- don't mix. If you want to run it wet, just use the Militec as you normally would the Break Free. |

Militec is as much a dry lube as the gear oil in your differential is. Would you run that dry?
In addition, the chemicals in Militec are not very reactive with aluminum so don't buy any one's marketing about "metal treatments" when it comes to that metal. It is much more reactive to steel. And don't bother hair dryering it either... |

I've mixed it, and it didn't have any changes in consistency.
If it did have a problem it wouldn't work for it's other main purpose, being a metal conditioner for use added to your engine oil. http://www.militec-1.com/index.html |

It was much slicker once applying some militec and shooting 500 rounds. Just my .02cents. As well, Larry Vickers likes the stuff, Militec doesn't endorse him. |

Normal break in had nothing to do with this of course... And BCG is steel, not aluminum. |

Avoid mixing lubes, there is always a chance of incompatibility, which results in reactions that break down one or the other, or both, lubes and creates problems. Yes, its rare, and if you "KNOW" the lubes are compatible, it is NOT a problem. If there are warning NOT to mix Miltec with others lube, if that is true, I would follow the warning, sounds like the MilTec is NOT compatible with a lot of other lubes, judging from the results one person posted.
