Since you gents have filled me in a little about the ingredients, those seemingly wacky claims now actually make some sense. Non-toxic, antiseptic properties, etc. I'll have to check PubMed to see if I can find a study on its efficacy as a "tonic"!

CLP....some crook conned the military into buying that junk.. it neither "cleans, lubricates or protects"....it's supposedly a solvent AND a lubricant? Sorry, it can't do both. All I know is the stuff was worse than useless on M-60s and .50cals.

CLP replaced LSA Oil for all general functions. LSA was and is a much better lubricant than CLP. I was so convinced that I recently bought 10 gallon of it. Being semi-fluid (thick oil), it really stays where it's put, including rifle bores!!! Sieger |

Wow Sieg....you must have cornered the remaining world market for LSA! Yeah, when I was in the infantry, we hoarded the remaining stocks of LSA we could find for the big guns....100 rounds through a Ma Deuce would sling and burn every drop of CLP off and the gun would be running metal against metal.

Here is an outstanding source of LSA, as well as, all other military oils and greases: sprucemtsurplus.com Look for NSN 9150-00-753-4686 for one gallon cans of LSA (Medium Weight) for $25.00 each. This is the Castrol product and is excellent. They also have the harder to find LSA-T. This is the higher tech one with the Teflon additive. This site sells everything surplus, not just oils and greases, so have at least two hours or so when you go "shopping". Sieger |

It doesn't claim to cure erectile disfunction; but then again, most 18 year old soldiers are not troubled with same. One of Hitler's long-time health problems was uncontrollable farting!!! Now, I can't believe this stuff would have helped with that!!! Sieger |

FrogLube has a very similar smell to it, and the marketing claims are very similar to Ballistol's (except for the medicinal part). I'm just wondering if this is the same stuff in a new bottle...?
