I use CLP to clean and oil my AR. I usually shoot about 400-500 rounds per range visit. I clean everything with CLP, then I wipe it down with a new layer of CLP. But it seems as if the carbon fouling (or whatever it is) that forms around the bolt area and inside the upper by the time I'm halfway done shooting has absorbed the CLP and it's running dry. Is that OK? I would put more oil on, keep it wet, but I don't know what is too wet. Anyone else notice this drying effect while shooting? How wet do you make your internals? |
| I can only speak from my own routine, but it's close to yours. I use CLP for both cleaning and lubing, going on 5000 rounds throuhg one of my AR's now, without a problem. After cleaning, I throughly spray down the bolt/carrier assy, and lube up the inside of upper. Yeah...it's wet! I usually only shoot about 200 rounds at a time, but it seems to have a dry look after 100 rounds. I believe that the CLP has a lubricating quality long after the "wet" look is gone. |
