Quick question... When I clean my AR, I like to coat the outside of the barrel with a rust inhibitor (it's stainless) just for added protection. I then turn the gun muzzle-down and let the excess CLP drip off. Lately, I've noticed the CLP has gotten on my rail. The rail markings seem to be slightly faded, but I don't have another gun to compare it against to see if the CLP has hurt/removed/lightened the markings at all. Does anyone else know if CLP will remove markings/branding from a rail? depending on the mfr it may fade the markings some, I personally wouldn't worry too much about it. |

It's an oil so I would guess it would loosen the paint on the rails eventually.

Dont worry about it. But no i have never seen the markings come off (unless its a cheap rail, and its just painted not laser etched.)

I have noticed this also. But I have found that once the CLP, oil evaporates after some time the numbers will brighten.
