Never used any lube but BF CLP since the mid  to late 80`s

A reason I never order the Slip 2000ewl.

I thought it couldn't be used to Clean a AR15 and one had to buy another Slip product like carbon cleaner etc.


I went to the Slip 2000 website.

It stated it can  CLP!

So does Slip 2000 ewl clean the same as BF CLP??

It actualy cleans better and lasts longer. EWL just does not let the carbon fouling stick to the BCG. I have seen guns shot 2000 rds and the carbon all but wipes off with a drop of the ewl on a rag. Do a search on google for slip 2000 ewl forums and see all that comes up. Pretty good reading.

What's wrong with buying a GOOD cleaner and a GOOD lubricant...as opposed to CLP which, while it does both, does neither very well?

Can't go wrong with SLIP...Pat Rogers and LWRC recommend it.

I like to carry  My M4 in the Field
My Bug out has small bottle of BFCLP!  ( also have room in my grip for Otis/ along small bottle )
I keep it small / KISS
dont want to carry extras
Thats why I like the BFclp because it can do it all..

Now since I got that out of the way


For Home You are Right Nothing wrong with several cleaners
I use NON Chlorinated Brake cleaner
BF CLP
Bore Foam
etc

Main reason I thought Slip 2000EWL couldnt be used to Clean

Because Pat Rogers uses carbon cleaner as well
So I got it in my Head that Slip 2000 ewl didnt clean

My bad

assume and all

Now since Ive read the page on the slip 2000 website
I know better

Not in my experiance.

EWL doesnt even clean as well as Slip2000 IME

As a cleaner BreakfreeCLP is better than Slip2000 which is better than SlipEWL.

If you shoot up to 200-300 rounds, I have no trouble cleaning my guns with Slip 2000 EWL.  However, if you have  a DI gun and it is filthy, then you need a good carbon cleaner to let soak on the bolt to get the crud off.

Most of my guns are piston guns and EWL does a good job and getting the gunk off the piston heads.  I haven't needed to buy anything else.

I used to use BF CLP all the time, and it would evaporate and leave no lube on the bolt.  The EWL lasts a long time and has made my action a lot smoother and keeps the lube there during longer range trips.

Slip 2000/Slip 2000 EWL is a CLP. Cleans just as good BF CLP in my experience.

QUESTION again

Is the Slip 2000 ewl  NON TOXIC?

I read the web site and it didnt say? or I didnt find it
The carbon cutter said it was non toxic

EWL is 100% non-toxic.

I use their 725 cleaner and then relube with EWL or regular Slip 2000. Best lubes on the planet.....they just stay put and will not burn off like Breakfree does. I fired 3,000 rounds at a prairie dog shoot a couple years ago without cleaning. Started off with a clean freshly lubed with EWL AR and it was still wet when I was done....dirty as hell but still wet and I had no malfunctions. The gun was a Sabre.

Low toxic. Not non-toxic.  I would not suggest using it as eye drops, nasal spray or drinking it.

Skag  Sig40?

Bought a SIG P229 40 when they  came out  

Ive bought most of the TOP Brands except HK
My Sig P229 40sw  can shoot ever bit as tight as my expensive Colt Combat Elite
With tuned handloads it acts like a Match grade barrel




You Fired 3000rds in one day!!
Wow just wow

Before moving to SWFL in 2003
I lived in the Sticks in IND..
I had my own Tactical range setup at the side of my House. I would practice mostly handgun, since I  carry 24/7 and held a CCW since the 80`s .

Even then I never shot 3000rds in a day.

After 500rds Im bored & Tierd
Thats with handgun or AR15


If SLIP 2000ewl can keep a AR15 wet after 3000rds That great.
Hat off to ya.

On a related note Fed Ex just dropped off 4ounces of Slip 725 Cleaner degreaser and 1oz of EWL at my place today. It will be my first time trying the 725 Cleaner/Degreaser. I've been running the EWL in one carbine since December..it could use a good cleaning at this point.
