Break-Free CLP provides comprehensive solutions to these challenges, making it an indispensable part of any serious firearm maintenance kit available readily at DEGuns.

The Science Behind Superior Firearm Care: Clean, Lubricate, Protect

The effectiveness of Break-Free CLP stems from its unique, proprietary synthetic formula designed for unmatched performance. Let's delve into each of its core functions:

1. Cleaning Power: Eliminating Residue and Fouling

Effective cleaning is the foundation of firearm maintenance. Break-Free CLP penetrates and loosens firing residues such as carbon, powder fouling, and even stubborn lead and copper deposits. It works by breaking down these contaminants at a molecular level, allowing them to be easily wiped away. This is crucial because accumulated residue in the bore and on moving parts can lead to:

• Reduced Accuracy: Fouling in the barrel can change projectile flight paths.
• Increased Friction: Gritty residues create drag, slowing down moving parts.
• Malfunctions: Excessive buildup can prevent parts from seating correctly, leading to failures to feed, extract, or eject.
• Accelerated Wear: Abrasive particles can cause microscopic damage to metal surfaces.

With Break-Free CLP, the cleaning process becomes remarkably efficient. Simply apply, let it penetrate, and wipe away the grime, leaving surfaces ready for lubrication and protection. This saves time and effort, making routine maintenance less of a chore.

2. Lubrication Excellence: Smooth Operation, Reduced Wear

Once clean, firearm components require precise lubrication to function optimally. Break-Free CLP excels as a lubricant, creating a long-lasting, boundary film that significantly reduces friction between moving metal parts. This film remains effective across an incredibly wide temperature range, from sub-zero conditions to the intense heat generated during rapid firing. Key benefits of its lubricating properties include:

• Enhanced Reliability: Parts glide smoothly, reducing the likelihood of jams or failures to cycle.
• Minimized Wear and Tear: Less friction means less metal erosion, extending the operational life of springs, bolts, triggers, and other critical components.
• Consistent Performance: Even under high pressure and repeated use, the lubricating film does not break down or evaporate.
• Improved Cycling Speed: Reduced drag leads to faster, more fluid firearm operation.

This superior lubrication ensures that your firearm operates as the manufacturer intended, providing consistent performance shot after shot.

3. Protection Against the Elements: Corrosion and Rust Prevention

Perhaps one of the most critical aspects of Break-Free CLP is its exceptional protective capability. Firearms, especially those used in challenging environments (e.g., humid climates, marine settings, or during inclement weather), are highly susceptible to corrosion and rust. Break-Free CLP forms a protective barrier on metal surfaces that repels moisture and other corrosive elements. This barrier:

• Prevents Rust: Actively inhibits the oxidation process that leads to unsightly and damaging rust.
• Shields from Corrosion: Protects against salts, acids, and other corrosive agents that can degrade metal.
• Long-Term Defense: Offers durable protection, even during extended periods of storage.

The ability of Break-Free CLP to simultaneously clean, lubricate, and protect makes it a truly comprehensive solution for preserving the integrity and value of your firearms against the ravages of time and the elements.

Practical Application: How to Use Break-Free CLP for Optimal Results

To maximize the benefits of Break-Free CLP, proper application is key. The .68 oz squeeze bottle, often available in a convenient 20-pack from DEGuns, is perfectly sized for precise application and portability, ideal for range bags, field kits, or individual firearm maintenance stations.

Here’s a general guide on how to effectively use Break-Free CLP:

1. Safety First: Always ensure your firearm is unloaded and cleared before beginning any cleaning or maintenance. Remove the magazine and visually inspect the chamber.
2. Disassembly: Field strip your firearm according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually involves separating the slide/bolt, barrel, and frame/receiver.
3. Initial Application: Apply a generous amount of Break-Free CLP to a bore brush and run it through the barrel several times. For heavily fouled barrels, let the CLP sit for 5-10 minutes to penetrate and loosen stubborn carbon and copper.
4. Cleaning Components: Apply CLP to a nylon brush or patch and scrub carbon buildup from the bolt carrier group (on AR-15s), slide rails, trigger group components, and other high-friction areas. For exterior surfaces, apply a light coat to a clean cloth and wipe down.
5. Remove Fouling: Use clean patches to push through the bore until they come out clean. Use clean cloths or patches to wipe away loosened residue from all other components. For intricate areas, cotton swabs or picks can be useful.
6. Lubrication: Once cleaned, apply a very thin, even coat of Break-Free CLP to all friction points and moving parts. A little goes a long way. Common areas include:
   • Barrel (a very light film after cleaning)
   • Slide rails (pistols)
   • Bolt carrier group (AR-15s)
   • Hammer and sear engagement surfaces
   • Recoil spring guide rod
7. Protection: Lightly wipe down all external metal surfaces with a CLP-saturated cloth. This leaves a protective film that guards against rust and corrosion. Pay special attention to areas that might be exposed to moisture or humidity.
8. Reassembly: Reassemble your firearm, ensuring all parts move freely and correctly. A final function check (without ammunition) is recommended.

Regular maintenance with Break-Free CLP, ideally after every shooting session, will ensure your firearm remains reliable, accurate, and ready for action whenever you need it. For long-term storage, a slightly heavier application on external surfaces and in the bore provides enhanced protection.
