I know what the letters mean but is 'CLP' used to refer to any kind of gun cleaner/lube (such as Rem Oil) or is it a specific brand of stuff? Thanks.

CLP is what you decide for yourself to work best.  There is actually a goverment issue CLP with a Mil-Spec number.  I bought some FP-10 and liked what I've seen so far.

FP-10 (a brand of CLP) is giving out free samples,  seems like good stuff.

[blue][b] I just got my free sample of FP-10 CLP and let me say it was no eye dropper size sample either. I was kinda expecting one of those tiny .20 oz containers but was surprised when I received a 1 oz bottle with applicator tip.[url=www.fp10.com ] FP-10 [/url]

Wasn't that a HOOT>>>I thought I'd get a .20 bottle like MiliTec-1

CLP = Clean, Lubricate, Protect.

The original CLP was formulated by the original Break-Free company using a Mil-Spec for a product that the Military wanted.
The Military wrote the Mil-Spec and Break-Free met the specification.

Break-Free lost the contract to the DOD as the main supplier of CLP (remember, DOD "owns" the Mil-Spec, so anyone that could meet the Mil-Spec can make and call it CLP) back in the late 80's. A company called ROYCO is now the primary contractor/supplier of CLP to the DOD. "Break-Free" brand of CLP is still carried in the Military supply system, if you want to order it you have to do it by name and not by NSN.

I think that Rem Oil is Royco CLP that is relabed as such.

The three main contractors for CLP to the military are:
VELSICOL CHEMICAL CORP
BREAK-FREE
ROYAL LUBRICANTS INC (Royco)          

There may be others that make a Mil-Spec CLP for the Military, but they are not listed as being a supplier by the DOD.
ROYAL LUBRICANTS INC
