CLP is good to use AFTER you use something else. It will NOT suffice on its own.

+1 and the windex works if I have to clean away from home where I don't have the hot water. |

I picked up a can of the outers foam at wally world because it was on sale. Seemed to do a good job on my K98 last weekend (after the water). Wouldn't buy it again if it wasn't on sale for $1 though.

I use a mixture of half water, half ammonia. I swab the barrel out twice with it, then I run a lubed patch down it and that's it! The ammonia eliminates all the corrosive salts. But be careful not to get any on the woodwork as it will ruin the finish. b

+1 I spray some windex right after I finish shooting then give it a thorough cleaning once I get home with more windex and then Hoppes. |

+1 on the Windex then Hoppes #9 can't go wrong doing that, unless the windex makes your gun so shining a bird tries to fly through it thinking its a window, like the commercial

Yup, windex or water on everything that I think the corrosive salts may have touched (barrel, bolt, gas system if present), dry it up nice and then clean like normal.

Stick the muzzle in the drain, put a funnel in the chamber, and pour half a teakettle of boiling water down. Then put the water on patches and run it through...works like a charm.
