Fireclean with AR15

**jaybirdritenour2** · 07-03-13, 23:08

Does anyone use Fireclean on their AR's? Does it work well? Does it really clean the carbon off or is there still need for a solvent? From what is said it is supposed to be good on a suppressed weapon. Just looking for some real world use.

When the weapon gets really hot does it stay on or burn off like some lubes?

I have been very happy with it.
Does not replace cleaning, but does an excellent job of sticking around and preventing carbon accumulation.

Seldom does a product exceed its hype but Fireclean has to be used to be believed. It is amazing stuff.

I have a bottle but I haven't used it yet. I've heard it does amazing things and has converted many froglube users.

I used it to free up my switchblock once.

It works very well. It makes "cleaning" an AR very simple. I just wipe out the upper and lower receiver with a paper towel and use q-tips in the tighter areas. I generally use a boresnake though the barrel. But twice a year or so I do use Wipe-Out Patch-Out and their Accelerator to remove copper in the bore. Fireclean works amazing well on suppressed guns and is the slowest to burn off of any oil I've ever used. It also will make an AR charging handle and BCG move much more smoothly it will feel and sound smoother simply working the action. It also makes cleaning my FN SLP shotgun super easy. Normally with other gun lubes on the pistons of the SLP carbon builds up on the inside and outside of the piston which is almost impossible to remove. After using Fireclean for the last 1K rounds that carbon wiped off with a paper towel.
