Field Stripping, Cleaning and Lubricating Your AR-15

June 10, 2017 by Nate Schultz (nsz85) 12 Comments

In my experience, the AR-15 style of rifle is one of the easiest firearms to clean and maintain. I actually know AR-15 owners that bring their AR-15 to a gunsmith for cleaning, or rely on others to do it for them. I have always wondered why. Maybe the person is new to the AR-15 platform and is not sure what the process consists of or how to do it? Or, maybe they just don't have … [Read more...]

FrogLube Review – A CLP That Lasts

April 15, 2017 by James Ogletree 23 Comments

Recently, I made a purchase of CLP (cleaner, lubricant, and preservative) to use with my new AR15 build: FrogLube.

Five hours and a few slices of pizza later, I found myself heading out to my local gun store, Gun Gallery in Jacksonville Florida, to see what … [Read more...]

Breakfree CLP: The Standard

September 27, 2016 by David Donchess Leave a Comment

When we think of a CLP, often Breakfree CLP comes to mind. It is revered for being what the military used and probably still used in some units. A big misconception today is that the stuff you get in the civilian world is the same as the military gets. This is not true anymore. A few years ago, Safariland redesigned the product to eliminate the Teflon additive, which is toxic. … [Read more...]

Proper Lubrication of the AR-15

September 7, 2016 by David Donchess 3 Comments

The AR-style rifle is based on the American military's sweetheart service rifle, the M16. Anyone that has been in the military can tell you a great many things about the platform and what it will keep it running. One of the biggest things that you will be told is that it needs to stay lubricated. Coming from the military myself, yes in a sense it does need to stay lubricated in … [Read more...]
