[QUOTE="H-BAR, post: 43799, member: 1281"] S1 I have used the lubes and have had zero problems. I can't believe that someone is told to clean a rifle with this stuff!!! A cleaner it is not!!! If it was applied properly they probably wouldn't have had problems. Everyone thinks that more is better. Any liquid type lube will attract dirt. This is a known fact and the more liquid the more dirt it can hold. that is why their weapons when they used this stuff should have been coated then wiped off. leaving only miniscule traces of the lube.
