Did you clean the rifle completely with CLP? Some lubes don't like to be mixed.

Reclean with Hoppes to remove all the old lube. Reapply CLP. Should solve the probs - hopefully. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I use CLP as a lube, not as a cleaner. I clean with Hoppes. Then reapply CLP. CLP works good as a cleaner for field work, and I've used it many many times. But it's not good enough for me to use at home. YMMV - as it will for most everyone that uses CLP for a cleaner/lube. |

Agree that you have some other residual lube to remove. I've never seen CLP gum up under any circumstances.

Never had that problem with CLP.
Do as the above members have described and report back. |

CLP is some of the best stuff I've seen.

CLP and Militec-1 are the only things I use in my AR-15 and Vepr. Both do not gum up and seem to clean rather easily. Militec-1 is a better lube than CLP, and I use it on all the moving parts with great results. |

Did you shake the bottle?

If you mix G-96 and Breakfree, within a year it will turn to concrete.
Well, glue anyway. I basicallyu had to soak a Daewoo in solvent to get the bolt to where I could move it. |

Most important! Clean all the old lube - the CLP and whatever else is on there - ASAP. |

It is if you mix lubricants. Before using CLP you need to clean your rilfe with Brake cleaner or Gun Scrubber to make sure all the old lube is removed. CLP will interact with some lubes to become gummy. CLP (BreakFree and RoyCo 634) is compatible with ArmaLube and SLIP 2000 CLP based on my experience. |

CLP will gum up readily if used with FP10.. Or any other semi- synthetic..........At least AFAIK..

Just another reason, I use CLP, only CLP, and nothing but CLP, on my AR-type rifles.... just like the TM says.

Spent six years in the Marine Corps. and the only lube/cleaner we used was CLP. Its all I will ever use on my new AR! No probelms on any of the weapons Ive used it on!

The only ARs I have that I use anything other than CLP on is the two SPRs I have. They get some special magical stuff made by KG recomended by MSTN and a few others. And the reason I use that stuff on the SPRs instead of CLP is because of the high dollar barrels on them. Other than that, all the other ARs get CLP and CLP only. Never had a problem at all, even when they probably could have used a cleaning! Good stuff from all I have seen.

Don't worry, it's the best. May take a few times to get whatever old lube you used to use all worked out.

Brake cleaner (remove the handguards and don't get it on the plastic) will strip off the old lube.

Breakfree...
The Army uses it, or at least they used to. I have used it for years on 4 AR-type rifles, it has always worked perfectly on all of them. If I had an AR that wouldn't run on Breakfree, I'd get rid of the rifle, not the lube |

Why would you buy a GI weapon, but use civilian lube?
CLP is the only approved cleaner or lubricant. There's a reason for that. |

It could be you put to much on. Or the CLP is loosening goop that you didn't get out of there when you cleaned. CLP will continue to clean for some time after it is applied. |

Yes, sounds like it is interacting with some other lube and the rifle needs to be degreased and CLP reapplied.
To second, Forest's post: Both FP10 and CLP work fine with SLIP2000. I'm guessing because the SLIP2000 isn't petroleum based.
My experience mirrors gmtmaster's here. FP10 and Breakfree do not play well together. |

I drop a spent .22lr shell in each of my breakfree bottles, helps mix things up when I shake it. |

I've not had any trouble using CLP (BreakFree) and FP-10 on the same gun. I just use whichever is handy when I need to get the bolt carrier wet again and it hasn't been a problem.
