Being as that CLP is a lubricant after using it do you need to use solvent..prior to finally oiling?

IMHO, I always first use either Hoppes or MPro 7 to clean out carbon crud or copper fouling.  I then use a very small amount of CLP on the areas that need a touch of lube.  I find that CLP acts like a solvent in a pinch but not as my primary solvent.

CLP

Cleaner
Lubricant
Protectant

CLP was designed to perform three functions. You clean with it. Lube with it. And it protects.

I use CLP as a light lubricant and cleaner on all areas of the rifle, with the exception of the bolt and carrier. On the bolt and carrier I use Break-Free LP for lube.

No need to. CLP is a great rust prevent and a decent lube. I usally just use Weapons Shield CLP for my cleaner and lube on most of my pistols and rifles. Maybe every  1 to 2k rounds down range  or once a year I'll use a  solvent (or Mpro 7) cleaner.  

With ammo prices it is more of once a year than every few thou.

You don't have to, but you can if you want to.

back in "the day" all we had to clean with was CLP. We were not allowed to use hoppes. (local deal, our CO was nuts)

think of how long that took to clean a filthy rifle that had lots of blanks fired through it.
