    Clean it as directed, apply it as directed. After that, make your own conclusions.

    Or i can just dip my bcg in motor oil, or slip 2000.

    Can you please point out why FC is better than slip 2000?

    cleans up easier, stays put, stays wet longer,

    More than can be said for fireclean and fraud lube

    Fwiw, i consider fireclean to be worlds better than FL, but 10w30 synthetic motor oil and slip 2000 make it look silly
    Not accurate. They just didn't warn you about any chemical incompatibilities.

    Jack is right. It is a thing. Ask any aircraft or heavy machinery mechanic about mixing incompatible lubes or greases.

    Literally the exact opposite of my experience with it.

    And yes, the instructions were followed.

    I don't believe that you followed the instructions properly. Larry admitted he had failed to clean his weapon properly prior to application.

    You would literally be THE FIRST PERSON to have any issues after cleaning off all prior lube.

    You could "dip" a BCG into about anything slick and get a low lube gun to run.
    In terms of function for an application, what addition may reduce lube related malfunctions without an additional application for an extended duration?
    Does slip work better? Or does FC? In terms of function? Some things can be clearer in use.
    You may want to look at replies to this thread and notice who some of us are that have been in the industry. A general consensus on your part does not mean a fact that that is true.
    I would not tend to choose a lube that requires a more frequent application than others. The use in function for that is the question. What product better aligns with that?

    You don't believe me? Were you looking over my shoulder?

    The instructions were followed, the only thing i might have done wrong is left the rifle in the safe a bit too long, but that is hardly an excuse

    I would also suggest that you reread my comments, the fact the FC was getting stcky made me switch, the rifle still functioned fine, but slip 2000 and motor oil haven't gotten sticky yet.

    But if you dip it into FC, you run the risk of having issues.

    Slip requires more frequent application? They ard about the same in my experience.

    Wow, you are pretty far gone on this.
    I'll step out, do what you want. You may make the choice and go with that.
