Do you still use Break Free CLP?
Do I still?
I remember a time, we used LSA to lube and protect all our Army hardware. I never knew if it worked. It was the only choice we had. I left the service for 7 years, and when I came back, LSA was ancient history, and we were now using Break-Free CLP. One thing I did notice, is using either product on parkerized finishes, they both '
wetted' the surfaces significantly. That would lead me to believe that oil or solvent was finding its way into every possible pore.
Prior to this, all I l'd have used at home is Outers or Hoppes conventional gun oils.
I figured by now, if Break-Free was good enough for the Army, it must be pretty good stuff. I switched to Break-Free, and I had two significant rust episodes on blued guns.
Was it because of the Break-Free, or was it just a coincidence and the guns would have rusted regardless of what they were wiped with?
Went back to conventional gun oil and Hoppe's #9. I do however, use Break-Free or similar combo-snake-oils when doing a quickie cleaning of my mostly stainless firearms. Ain't one rusted.
