Do you mean CLP?

CLR is for removing Calcium, Lime, and Rust from sinks and bathtubs.

Could you please tell that to my wife's tantal and my '74? They both had some minor surface rust inside when i went to clean them today. And that's just from sitting.

I'll be putting a light rubbing of clp inside my gas tube, gas block, and receiver from now on. They're the areas the molyresin didn't get into.

By all means clean your gas tube!
