Fireclean with AR15

[Peshawar]

Slightly off topic, but since there were so many fireclean experiences shared here someone is bound to know. Is FC ideal for use on the Benelli m4 operating system? I'm about to get one and would like to use FC from the gate if it's the best lube for this particular weapon and it's internals.

Considering that we would just use CLP and they ran decently, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work.

I watched a video on youtube from a competition Benelli team member I believe that said there was certain shells that gave problems loading in his Benelli but with Fireclean they ran perfect. I will see if I can find the video.

Found video but it isnt a benelli team member and also posted by Fireclean but here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptTONkq6fFM

Thank you, Sir! I'd really be curious to see the vid.

This is pretty interesting. I'm also just as concerned about my health. I can't sem to find a MSDS of this FC product on their web site. Says it is non-toxic, ummm, prove it. I currently use M-Pro7 cleaner (non-toxic), and Ballistol (non-toxic + biodegradable) coat the BCG, then grease the BCG rails with a bit of Libriplate SFL-0 (non-toxic + food grade rated).

I stopped reading/caring about Eezox as soon as got to the Trichloroethylene main ingredient in their MSDS, no thanks, toxic as hell. Don't get me started, I worked in a ski manufacturing plant as a teenager, and I swam in it for a summer.

So, priority one for me is my health as seen in my current panel of products I use. Someone please link me to a MSDS. I'm interested if it is safe.

" I stopped reading/caring about Eezox as soon as got to the Trichloroethylene"
Is that why it stinks?

I linked it in the post but he isn't a benelli member and the video was posted by Fireclean.

Yes, and thank you for posting it. Much appreciated. I'm no expert, but that guy in the vid seemed pretty credible to me. I'm going to give it a try when I get my Benelli next week. FC might be an ideal choice for that platform.

I mean, the FDA is yanking "proven" drugs every day for causing all sorts of life-ending problems, and you want someone to "prove" that a firearm CLP really, truly, 100% is non-toxic? Will you just settle for "less toxic than the firing residue suspended in it"? Sounds reasonable... I currently use M-Pro7 cleaner (non-toxic), and Ballistol (non-toxic + biodegradable) coat the BCG, then grease the BCG rails with a bit of Libriplate SFL-0 (non-toxic + food grade rated).

So, priority one for me is my health as seen in my current panel of products I use. Someone please link me to a MSDS. I looked and could not find an MSDS, but I know that people out there know what's in it who are friends with those who invented it. If it were harmful, I bet we would either know about it, or it wouldn't be knowable for years to come, much like those FDA yanked drugs I mentioned earlier. I'm interested if it is safe.

I feel that it must be safer than the junk suspended in it (firing residue), which contains glass, mercury, lead, and carcinogens, as I understand it.

Does FC also work as a protectant against rust? Also, are people getting good results in the bore of the barrels themselves?
