    How?

    but why even bother with that? I've used both (until the FC bottle fell apart, and leaked all over my reloading bench) and have never noticed any lack of performance with slip 2000

    How what?
    A proper application of FC lasts a long time in use. If you are talking about reapplication of lube to insure function, then you may be missing the point. Not to mention how safe it may be to the user in the long run. You could potentially mop on about anything slick and keep a gun running. I'm talking about a proper application of a product and use it till lube related failures occur without reapplication, just running the gun.

    How is fireclean better than say, slip 2000? Ive used both, and nothing about FC justifies it's flaws

    I figured the fact i highlighted parts of your comment, and put my replies in the same color made this perfectly clear, but i guess not.

    For "proper aplication" any half decent lube just needs to be put on, no matter what was previously used in the firearm.

    Do yourself a favor and cut back on the caffeine and relax a little.

    I've tried slip 2000 on a few platforms. I wouldn't say it is bad, but may not be preferable to other options I've used.
    What are these FC flaws you speak of? If properly applied, the thin film works well. What is your process for the application?
    I really don't care if you spilled it or whatever. I'm talking about function. If a bottle turned to tissue paper, I don't care. I'm talking about function. If a user is deficient in things, I don't care. I'm talking about the product use in function.
    When you include other subjects outside of use, I would tend to question your line of logic on the issue for use.

    What flaws would those be??

    FC works way better then Slip 2000.

    I have both, been using both.

    I would say that having to completely strip your firearm is pretty stupid, and the fact that if you apply too much, it can gum up.

    Is no one going to explain how FC is "better"?

    You should consider saving some face.
    FC does work better in function when applied properly, compared to slip or motor oil, with many less disadvantages. There may be a better product in the future, this is what we work with today.

    Why is that a bad thing?

    Has anyone on this board actually have a gum up issue with FC???

    Larry vickers has, he mentioned it on his facebook page when everyonewent nuts over the whole crisco = fireclean fiasco

    I had noticed it getting kinda stcky on my rifle, but it shot fine. I stopped using it after that.


    So, can you please explain how FC is better than slip?
