What was the solvent that we used to clean our rifles in the Marine Corps?

[QUOTE="Bedon292, post: 555893, member: 37783"] I don't think either of those are the answers he is looking for. Yes the Marine Corps uses them on weapons but thats not whats in the solvent tanks at armories. I think that is what he is looking for with the word solvent. Although the question was kind of unclear. I was working at an armory for a while and we got a tank in while we were there, but it was always just called solvent. The liquid was always handled by a contracting company and even they just called it solvent. I am sure there was some technical name for the chemicals in it on the MSDS but I never cared to look at them. Honestly not sure why you would need it though, solvent was just the lazy way to clean up the weapons and it certainly did a number on any plastic parts. A little elbow grease and some CLP gets the weapon just as clean and keeps it in better shape. [/QUOTE]
