John:
There was a very lengthy discussion on the cleaning properties of BreakFree CLP on the K98 posting site. The overall consensus was that it is very easily to use and extremely effective. Especially for cleaning hard to reach places, like the inside of the bolt body. The crud will literally come flying out. And like you mentioned, it will evaporate real fast after doing its job. Highly recommended. Just make sure to oil immediately after applying BreakFree, because the metal will be as exposed as a chick on prom night.
I was amazed at all the types of cleaning agents that people use to clean their firearms. Just to name a few: water with Tide, mineral spirits, ammonia, diesel fuel, Windex (to remove the salts from corrosive ammo), acetone, degreasers, isopropyl alcohol, BreakFree CLP, and commercial things like Hoppe’s (my favorite). There is one guy in the K98 forum who swears by ammonia, he says just run a couple of patches with that solvent down the barrel after shooting, and everything is cool. But, he says his wife wants to kick his butt if he ever “stinks up her house” with lengthy solvent cleaning after getting home. No wonder he expedites things. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
