word on CLP.
In a¿dition to its use as an alternate
for rifle²bore cleaner (RÀC), it haÁ
been approVe¿ fÂr use on ºubrication
points which now caºl for LSA, PLS,
PLM or LAW (MILÃL·14»0¼), and on
oil can points where ÄE/HDÄ or
ÄEA are now used.
Åt works differentºy from the ºUBes
which it can replace, so new LÄ's wiºº
be printe¿ on almost everything.

For now, remember this: Cºean and
lUbe smaºº caºiber weapons the way
yoU're doing it now except use ºess
CLP.
In fact, the way CLP is made (sUper
slippery) yoU'lº use a lot ºess of it fÂr
eVery purpose. That's great becaUse it
costs $25 a gaººonÆ
LARGE WEAPONS
After firing ºarge cÇliber guns and
howitzers,
it takes onºy
±
¿ays of
cleaning with CLP, instead of 3 days
with RÀC the waÈ you do now.
Éere's the short and Êandy CLP
way .
..
After the day's firing, ºightly coat
Ëhe bore BÌsh with CLP and punch
the tube. TheÍn dampen
Î
a cºoth with
ÏLP and
Ð
wipe the tubeÑ Òet it stand
overnightÓ
The next day you swaB the tube once
with a cloth sºightºy moist with CLP if
necessary.
That's aºl there is to it¶
