Used CLP for 10 years in the army minus my years in Alaska in which we had that badass lithium cold weather grease stuff. If overseas use less CLP and leave the outside dirty AF. Im
Not saying it’s the best but I’m saying 10 years and 3 deployments told me it’s good to go.
only issue I had was machine gunners getting heavy handed on it with the 249 more so than 240. They had literal squirt bottles of the shit and would just absolutely soak their open bolts with it. Caused issues increasing chamber pressures or something and led to problems.
and super heavy handed.
I believe the open bolts should run grease , but clean with CLP sure and even when they soaked that hoe it was a rare scenario.
the 240B dont give AF about anything or anyone she never chokes.
firm believer in CLP for almost all applications, but I do apply grease more Now days especially on AKMs or those railed guns.
ymmv and not claiming the Army was doing the best thing, but I’ve probably handled and used hundreds of gallons of CLP lol
