View Full Version : Rifle bore cleaner...?

What do you guys think about GI rifle bore cleaner sold by Cheaper than dirt. There are several markings on the 8 oz can (MIL-C-372 C, M6305... and so on.)
There is another one on the same page of their catalog (p.61) sold in 2-oz plastic bottles…
Can they be a good substitute to the HOPPE'S #9 solvent?

Hello Roman,
I am sure that they would work just fine but I would have a hard time switching from my beloved Hoppe's, it just works so good!

Roman, any gunshop or sporting goods store that carries gun cleaning supplies will carry BreakFree CLP. It's the same stuff as the military CLP only more expensive because it's "retail". Hope this helps!... Tomac

Thanks Tomac,
I was "hunting" for real military one, but if you say it is the same thing, I will try one.

Roman, Sarco is supposed to have the military version in large quantities at discount prices. I haven't been able to find it on their website but if you wish to call them their # is 908-647-3800. If you call them I'd be interested in hearing what their prices are. BTW, I've been using the BreakFree CLP on all my firearms for years and have no complaints (except for the price...) Hope this helps!... Tomac

Tomac,
I have just called them and they have CLP in 1pint bottles for $5.99 or 3 bottles for $15 + S&H. Is this price any better than you paid for retail versions of it?

Roman, that's a *very* good price! Think I'll call 'em up and order 3 bottles for myself! Thanks!... Tomac

Tomac,
I have just called them to place my order, and found out that my min order should be $20. I was just going to order one pint (to see if I like it first), or max 3 pints, still it is less then their minimum... My option is to find source of CLP closer to my location...
Good luck to you.

Roman.

Wished I'd known you only wanted 1 pint, Roman. I ordered 4 to get above the $20/min (one's going to a friend) and would have ordered 1 or 2 for you as well. Sorry!... Tomac

Hey Roman,

I ordered 4 bottles from Sarco last week. If you want, I'll sell you one for $5 plus actual shipping. They told me it would take 3-4 weeks.

Regards,

I appreciate your help, Tomac.
Well, until I find better deal on CLP I will use Hoppe's #9.
Thanks again.

Hi wooj61,
Thanks a lot for the offer!
This weekend I am going to the gunshow, and I am hopping to get some there, so if I could let you know sometimes on 14th of May that would be great..?.
Thank you.

Roman.

Hi Roman,

If you can't find the clp this weekend, the bottle is yours. Glad I can help out.
