| just rec'd my first AR - bushy modular carbine. Been reading through these forums quite a bit lately and am a bit confused. Do I need anything other than FP-10 to clean and lubricate? Specifically, do I use the FP-10 to clean the chamber, bore , & all other parts? Or do I need to clean the chamber & bore with solvent first and then apply the FP-10? Any replies would be appreciated. |

I have heard that M-pro 7 stuff is the best stuff for cleaning.. I havent used it on any of my stuff yet but I bought a bunch and I'm gonna try it after the next time I go to the range. FP-10 is a really good CLP... which means its a decent cleaner... but I like to use solvents and use FP-10 or break free as lubricant. |
| If CLP type (like FP-10) is all you have, that can get you buy. It cleans, lubricates, and protects - but does not do any of those things as well as dedicated products. I recommend you use a good solvent for your bore, and the FP-10 to lubricate and preserve. Other products will help remove carbon/copper fouling much better than CLP will, and do it quicker. |
