Any bad experiance seen with FP-10?

**larry0071** · 12-17-08, 07:21

I am a dealer for the MPC Company, but I deal in the automotive products. I am in love with MPC and all of the products that I have personally used with the MT-10 additive in it. MT-10 is the thing added to grease, oil, gun lube...whatever... that makes the anti-friction so damn anti-friction.

I know many of ya use other products, and for the sake of this post... I dont care and don't want to hear about what you use other than FP-10

.

Here is what I want to know. Those of you that do use FP-10 -

1. Do you use MPC's FP-10 year round or seasonal? (If seasonal, Why?)
2. If you used to use FP-10 and stopped...Why?
3. Have you had any failures in your rifle/pistols that you thought was because FP-10 was not performing as well as expected?
4. Do you feel FP-10 is better than another product you used before? Why?
5. Would you recomend FP-10 to others?

I own a Timken bearing failure machine and have tested and played with the grease, the MT-10 oil additive, and the FT-10 fuel treatment. You couldn't get me to stop using the product for anything.....thats why I became a dealer for them! Its unreal how great this stuff is. What I want to find out, is if you folks in the gun world are able to see the benefits of this product, or if it is not able to be seen/felt on your weapons.

FP10 has been upgraded to a new formula by its inventor. The new formula is now known as Weapon Shield. It is great stuff. Never tested it in extreme cold conditions but everyone here that uses it including myself love it. It also does a fair job of pulling carbon out of a barrel. I am not keen on the company's automotive additives but their weapons products do work well.

I'm about 1/2 way through a large spray bottle of FP10 I got a few years ago. I've never had any issues with it, and I lubed my AR with it during my last carbine class.

I have no complaints.

Mr Fennell, I see.
He is not associated with MPC or the MT-10 name at all any longer. So what he did was most likely broke off from the company in whatever form that was and started competing with MPC.

Had you seen any performance change after leaving FP-10 for the "new" version, or did you find great success with both? I'm asking if you feel that Mr Fennell's product is actually something different and better, or simply a copy of the job he had a few years back at MPC? Maybe you had some notices failures with FP-10 and now you seem to elliminate them with the Weapon Shield? Just asking.

WS-CLP has done well for me, all temps.

Honestly, I would not use anything but the FP-10 and MAYBE this FP-10 copy (Weapon Shield) that he is talking about. I have played with all kinds of various oils, from class 3 dino oil, to class 4 full synthetic (Amsoil), to class 5 (Royal Purple and Joe Gibbs) and no matter how good of lubricant you use, adding a very small amount of MT-10 to it makes it 3-5 times better at resisting extreme pressure failure. Extreme pressure being when the boundry film layer has been compromised and the metel to metel contact is coming into play.

I’m doing a little corrosion test right now with different lubes and FP-10 is doing poorly. I have been using FP-10 for a few years now and have never had any problems with it. Anyone have problems with it as far as corrosion?

How did you test this?

I had slight bbl rust on a 1911 when I was using FP-10 exclusively. I am not claiming that FP-10 was at fault; however, I treat all of my carry guns the same and never had a problem before. After I removed the spots and switched to weapon shield I haven't had any more rust. I still use the FP-10 as a lube from time to time.
