Sorry for contributing to thread drift, bro. Certain things just set me off.

I hear ya and I understand. Just trying to steer us back on course.

I bought some with my own loot and IG hand delivered it to my house. Now that's service!

I just don't see the paste as a functional cleaner for lifting baked on BCG carbon off the bolt and other nooks.

FWIW, I have almost 1500 rounds though my Noveske 10.5" upper using strictly FL paste and I have almost no carbon build up on my bolt tail to begin with. About 1k since the first cleaning and the entire bolt is still wet, and I haven't applied any paste since the cleaning.

There's tests online where folks soaked primers in different solvents and they still worked. Seems like just another gun myth.

Great link. Thanks.

just out of curiosity, how many of you guys are applying the paste to the external metal portions of your firearms?

I cover as much as I can (without removing anything) on the initial application. Handguard, barrel, sights, grips, etc on rifles and handguns.

I don't use the paste, just the regular oil.

I apply it to the flash hider, barrel & gas block, and upper receiver. I then buff it off of the upper, only slightly so on the barrel etc.

It does make carbon really easy to clean from the flash hider.

Rather than contributing speculation why not get some and try it yourself?

I am looking to pick up a 1oz clp bottle, but am curious if I will see results with it or if the paste is the best to base an experiance off of. It is difficult to tell with my limited understanding of what each product is intended to do. I was considering the clp for AR bcg use and going from there. Is that a good place to start?

The paste is also a CLP. I really can't figure out why folks can't fathom that the product is the SAME in a different state of matter (carrier).

A CLP...in two different states of matter. Liquid and solid. They are both CLP's.

Buy a small amount of both and see what works best for you.

I have bought a lot of both the paste and CLP, used it on multiple weapons, and put thousands of rounds downrange in training and qualification. That said, I have ONLY used the CLP to top off during training out of habit as opposed to need. I also carry CLP on my gear as just in case lube. Otherwise, all lubing is done during cleaning with the paste, sometimes with the aid of a brush or qtip.

thanks, I was staring at my new rifle awhile ago and wondering where all I wanted to put this stuff
