I'm a believer ! I find this formulation to be a hybrid of CLP and Brake/Carb Cleaner.
And a big can of it is only $5 at Wally World. |

I'm happy with it as well.
A while back, a cousin came shooting with me, and brought his new AR15 to break in. I knew he wouldn't clean the thing, so after he was done, I opened his up and hosed the inside down with Rem Oil, just because I had some in the range bag. About two weeks later, he asked me to come help him clean the gun. When I opened it up, I found that the oil was still largely there (while CLP seems to evaporate to some extent), and that it had done an EXCELLENT job of keeping the crud dissolved - after wiping out the black oil, the bolt/upper were surprisingly clean, and didn't take much work. After having done the same thing with CLP, I think that the Rem Oil did as good, or a better job. |

i think of it like wd40: its an all purpose when you don't have what you actually need. My thoughts exactly.I actually think WD40 is a slightly better lube/protectant and smells better too.But that is not saying much other than using them as a degreaser/cleaner which they both do very well.. I'd much rather have a 4oz. liquid bottle of Break Free CLP than a 10oz. can of Rem Oil.. |
| Interesting. I use it exclusively on all of my handguns and find it to be the best lube with the added value of some cleaning abilities. The teflon sticks to carbon or stainless steel well, plus aluminum frames. It keeps the pistols I don't shoot that often well lubed for months. Of course, I'd never go longer than six months without lubing or at least checking, any firearm. I plan on using it on my M-4, but will keep an eye on its "legs." |

At the Magpul course I went to, the more prudent, (or ones with newer or more finicky rifles) would pull their BCG, and spray that stuff into every orifice of it, and then hose it off at lunch and the 3 PM break. Shake off excess, and back into the rifle it went. Seemed to work fine, but after another 4 or 500 rounds, no matter what you used, your bolt would be dry again.
For the right price, I'd use it again. Looking at the can, it had some mil specification number on it, so I suspect it's very close to Break-Free CLP in a can, with a different smelling solvent, and probably a different additive package to get the same effect. |
