Question on cleaning products for Arsenal AK SAM7
So the company "mandates" to use ONLY Breakfree CLP. Any other voids their warranty for finish.
They also claim that their rifles are made to "military" standards and also will nit disclose what type of finish is on their rifles. So a military rifle that can only withstand a specific name brand product?? Is it available in Bulgaria? What happens if a mil spec rifle gets gas or diesel fluid on it??. Will it disintegrate? So for a $1000 rifle one needs to baby it and only use BreakFree CLP??
Seems to be some cheap paint, maybe over a parkerized finish??
I cleaned the bolt with Hoppes #9 and it literally dissolved the finish like it was ink No big deal I repainted it with Brownells paint
CLP is a fine product and I do use it, but do not think it is the best for removing the filthy powder and carbon from Wolff ammo. I have used it for many years on my firearms and have used many other solvents on handguns, rifles, military (blued, parkerized, stainless, polycoated etc) and polymer and have no issues with those cleaners/solvents. I prefer to get all the crude off and then finish up with CLP
Rant over.
The Question:
Has anyone found a product (cleaner/solvent) other than CLP that does not destroy the finish??
