MilTec for Dry, CLP for Wet?
This past month while I was playing Army, I struck up a conversation with our supply SGT about MilTec. From the tecnical bulletins he's recieved the army is no longer authorizing the use of MilTec, not because it didn't work, but Soldiers were using it like traditional CLP, Goop it on and Fire, VS. the Apply and wipe Dry. Our conversation went even further, MilTec was designed for Dry Climates, like the desert because CLP was still in the Army Inventory for Wet Climates - (Korea, Hawaii, Vietnam...) while MilTec was designed for Iraq and Afghan. As our conversation progressed I realized this was the same thing they told us as they issued cases of it (MilTec) to us. This would be the reason why it doesnt prevent rust as well as other Lubes, has anyone heard this before, I cannot find a solid argument on the Errornet, just a lot of Hearsay and rumor.
I just went to the MilTec website, and the bottles they show are different than the ones issued, Is there a difference in what we were given, and what they sell commercially?
Lube and Rust Preventative
In my government owned basement place of employment, the only solution to rust preventative in our shop was Ballistol. Militec was issued but did not work. We bought the Ballistol out of pocket and it was a 100% improvement.
As weapons lube, I found FP-10 and Slip 2000 more satisfactory on "wet" guns: Berettas, ARs, etc.
On my Beretta it seemed like the Militec disipated. No big deal, I cleaned and lubed the gun every payday.
On Glocks, it was not as critical. Any quality gun lube was fine.
