Fireclean with AR15

[Wake27]

If it only dried up and disappeared after a year, I'd be cool with that. As long as it doesn't turn into the freakin' molasses that Froglube did in my rifles. I'll never use that stuff again.

I took it to mean the stuff still in the bottle wouldn't work after a year.

Ah, sorry. Tracking now. That would be kinda lame, if it turns into weaksauce after a year. But as F2S stated, maybe it's a more delicate chemical composition than some of the more toxic alternatives out there. Right now I'm back with Slip EWL, and at this point it ain't broke, and I'm not sure if I need to fix it.

I don't think that the fear was that it wouldn't work, but that it wouldn't work as well as would be expected of it.
Regardless, they have since revised the "sell by" to be unnecessary.

Good point. Wasn't hunt_ak saying that he used the same bottle over a period of 2 years with great results? I'm sure it isn't any cause for concern.

Yes. That tester bottle (that I'm still eating off of) is almost 3 years old now and I haven't seen/noted any differences in the performance/properties of it (smell/feel/etc.) during that time period. I'd say its G2G for at least 3 years!

When did you pick up the SR15?!

My thoughts on using FIREClean for over 2 years now up here in Alaska.

Thanks!

Do you use fireclean in place of both grease and oil on the ar bolt?

About 1.1k on it mostly suppressed - this time after cleaning it at the 5k mark I just cleaned with FIREClean but did not apply a major lube coating.

Also

Now over 2800 rds with the M&P and have not cleaned it since I got it -- I 100% degreased it and lubed with FIREClean when I got it.

Dave and Ed need to sell shares...

How does wear look on the cam-pin and other stress areas compared to other lubes? Half dozen one or the other, or have you noticed considerably more, or less wear, with the Fireclean?
