Cleaner, Lubricant, & Protectant Cleans residue, grime, and carbon deposits. Reduce friction between moving parts. Shields against corrosion, rust, and wear. Directions: Using an CHLP All-In-One Cleaner, Lubricant, and Protectant (CLP) for firearms is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to ensure your firearm is properly maintained: Materials Needed CLP (Cleaner, Lubricant, Protectant) Cleaning patches Bore brush Cleaning rod or pull-through bore snake Microfiber cloth or cleaning rag Cotton swabs Gloves (recommended) Instructions 1. Ensure Safety Unload the Firearm: Make sure the firearm is unloaded. Remove the magazine and check the chamber to ensure there are no rounds present. Disassemble the Firearm: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to disassemble the firearm. Typically, this involves removing the slide, barrel, and other accessible components. 2. Clean the Barrel and Bore Apply CHLP: Attach a cleaning patch to the cleaning rod or bore snake, and apply a generous amount of CHLP to the patch. Run the Patch Through the Barrel: Insert the cleaning rod or bore snake through the breech end (chamber) of the barrel and pull it through to the muzzle end. Repeat this process a few times to loosen and remove carbon, fouling, and debris. Use a Bore Brush: Attach a bore brush to the cleaning rod, apply a small amount of CHLP, and run it through the barrel several times to scrub away stubborn deposits. Final Patches: Run clean, dry patches through the barrel until they come out clean. 3. Clean Other Components Apply CHLP to Other Parts: Apply a small amount of CHLP to a microfiber cloth or cleaning rag and wipe down all other metal components, including the slide, frame, and magazine. Use Cotton Swabs: For hard-to-reach areas, use cotton swabs dipped in CHLP to clean. 4. Lubricate Moving Parts Apply CHLP Sparingly: Apply a small amount of CHLP to the moving parts of the firearm, such as the slide rails, trigger mechanism, and any other areas specified by the manufacturer. Spread Evenly: Use a clean cloth or your finger (wear gloves if preferred) to spread the CHLP evenly over these parts. The goal is to have a thin, even layer. 5. Protect and Reassemble Wipe Down the Exterior: Apply a light coating of CHLP to the exterior surfaces of the firearm to protect against rust and corrosion. Wipe off any excess with a clean cloth. Reassemble the Firearm: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to reassemble the firearm. Ensure all parts are properly aligned and securely in place. Function Check: Perform a function check to ensure the firearm operates correctly after reassembly. 6. Store the Firearm Store in a Safe Place: Store the firearm in a cool, dry place, preferably in a gun safe or a locked cabinet. Tips Use Sparingly: Less is often more when applying CHLP. Excess lubricant can attract dirt and debris. Regular Maintenance: Regularly clean and lubricate your firearm after use to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Follow Manufacturer's Recommendations: Always follow the specific cleaning and maintenance instructions provided by the firearm manufacturer. By following these steps, you can effectively clean, lubricate, and protect your firearm using CHLP. Warning: Harmful if swallowed. Causes skin irritation. Causes serious eye irritation.
