Hello Everyone,

I've been thinking of picking some of these, to wipe down some of my toys that don't see much use. Has anyone tried these? What are your thoughts on them?

A few years ago I took them to annual training and after qualification my Company used them to clean and wipe down our M4's and Beretta M9's.

We we arrived back in Cols, OH from Fort Knox they went into the armory for four months or longer.

A short time later I deployed outside of my unit, so I do not know how long the rifles were in the armory before they were used again. I know my issued M4 sat in there for about a year plus until I shot it again. My M4 looked pristine.

Everyone in my Company really liked them especially our Company Commander. For once in my life I kept my mouth shut and did not tell him I ordered the wrong wipes.

The only reason I am not using them is that up until now, I didn't know they existed. I use BreakFree Collector as my firearms preservative, which comes in what looks exactly like the BreakFree CLP bottle, except for the name.

BF Collector has never let me down.

If I understand correctly, you can just pull your firearms out of storage and just shoot them without cleaning and reapplying lube. If so, this stuff seems pretty darn good.

I think it's the Break Free Collector (which I never heard of until now) that has the long term properties.

This UK link is about Collector:

I use the Basic CLP on all my guns. I have a few that sit a year between firings, I disassemble and relube before firing.

I have their CLP wipes in plastic container. Ive used them and they do a fine job. Ive used Break Free products forever on firearms.

I need more of the CLP wipes. I like them more than the Remoil wipes. Thanks for the reminder.

Same here. My primary wipe down product before putting up. Been using it a long time.

I've use the bottled BreakFree Collector for years and I'm happy with it. A 4 oz bottle is about $7.50 with free prime shipping. I think I could make a lot of my own wipes with that. But since I do like to try new things, I searched for a source for these wipes. They don't seem to be available from all of the usual sources. Most say "currently not available". So where does one find these?

I found them at my local Wally World. I didn't know they existed either.

I am currently using Hoppes 9 wipes . I will try BF when current wipes are gone . Pickle Rick

I use Breakfree Collector as well. It is a great product. Once you apply it, it seems to spread out as well better protecting than other oils in my mind. It meets Milspec requirements so it has to be good.
