[R-390] Synthetic Oil

[rbethman]

Regarding firearms lubricants and cleaners, I take what many departments 
and the Military use with a grain of salt!

Even before I retired from Uncle Sam's Employ, the big "Mantra" was 
*Break Free CLP*.

If you have not had the "pleasure", DON'T!  This product states very 
specifically that the firearm MUST be cleaned for three days in 
succession!  Reason?  It continues to leech out from the pores of the 
firearm for that period!

I will take good old Hoppes RBC, (Rifle Bore Cleaner), for one session, 
until the patch ran clean, then lubricated.

Anything that continues to leech out the remnants of burnt powder and 
the like for days, *IS* not anything that *I* will apply to any weapon 
that I personally own!

The armorers for the Dallas PD recommend it for gun use since it stands up to high temperatures. A quart bottle was a lot cheaper in the long run than buying some of the marvelous, magical, miracle "snake oils" that work at the molecular level..........duh, all oil works at the molecular level. They lubricate by forming mono molecular films, but don't let the general public know that, it'd put a lot of PR guys out of work.
