Title: DSL instead of CLP ?
Post by: London808 on February 24, 2016, 10:08:44 AM

Your thoughts,

The U.S. Army is touting a new and improved lubricant for small arms ranging from the standard M4 carbine to the M240 machine gun, officials said.

Unlike the conventional “wet lubricant” known as CLP (for cleaner, lubricant and preservative), the new product uses a dry surface treatment known as durable solid lubricant, or DSL, according to a press release on Tuesday from officials at Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey.

I bought a can of Dry moly lube from Graingers. I used it on my 22 upper and it remains clean and functions well. It goes on like a paint. So far I'm impressed. Cost about $12. You don't need a lot of it.
