 Mil-Comm
-- Gun Care for the 21st CenturyThe first
thing you notice about Mil-Comm MC25 Cleaner/Degreaser is that it
is nearly without a smell. There is a very faint scent to it that
reminds me a bit of Granny "OJ's Beauty Lotion" but it is very weak.
There is none of the pungent petroleum solvent fumes that smell up the
whole house which are characteristic of many of the traditional cleaning
preparations like Hoppe's No. 9. Like most people of my generation, I am
programmed to think that a solvent couldn't possibly clean gun crud and
metal residue unless it was packed with explosive petroleum distillates
and acids to eat the crud off. There's no way that something that smell
faintly like OJ's Beauty Lotion is gonna' clean my gun. Well, this stuff
will surprise you. Not only does is clean quickly and easily without
making your house smell like a Texas City refinery, it also removes
copper fouling immediately, much quicker and easier than Hoppe's. This
eliminates the need for the use of a copper solvent in the barrel.
The comparison between MC25 and MPro7 is inevitable. The are both
environmentally friendly, water based, non-toxic and non-carcinogenic.
MPro7 is an excellent product. I have used it and have a lot of respect
for it. Not being a chemist, I can't break the two down into their
constituent properties and compare them molecule for molecule. I can
only compare them on what I see and feel. MPro7 feels like a detergent,
almost sticky. MC25 is just a liquid, neither sticky nor greasy. They
both clean powder crud well. MC25 cleans the copper fouling better.
The other inevitable comparison is with Break Free CLP. Really, it
requires two of the Mil-Comm products, MC25 Cleaner/Degreaser and MC2500
Lubricant/Protectant, to give you all of the functions that Break Free
CLP provides in a single solution. Here's how I compare the two systems:
On cleaning Mil-Comm has the edge. Break Free does not degrease and, in my opinion, MC25 does a
better job of removing copper fouling quickly. Break Free gives you the
whole system in one can; with Mil-Comm it is two bottles. But perhaps as
important as any of the performance properties is the way my hands feel
after using the two products. After using Break Free CLP, I have those
weird and uncomfortable sensations in my skin which suggest that the
stuff has penetrated my skin and is acting on my nerve endings, and I
don't like that. With the Mil-Comm system, I have none of those
sensations, and for me that is a big plus. Mil-Comm products are
non-toxic.
I have taken to using grease on my slide rails and cocking lugs in
auto pistols. The inevitable comparison here is with Mil-Tec. In terms
of consistency, Mil-Com TW25B is almost like a cream. It works very well
and I like it. Mil-Tec has more of the consistency of classic auto
grease. I will leave the chemical comparisons to the engineers and
chemists. My own thought is that if TW25B is good enough for the gatling
guns on the F16, it will probably do all right on my pistols. See the
list of TW25B specifiers listed below and I
think you'll be impressed. See also

TW-25B
Lubricant (grease)
Mil-Comm TW-25B is the choice of leading firearms manufacturers, armorers, pro shooters and gun enthusiasts, and is recognized as the
world's best all-purpose weapons lubricant protectant. It is now widely
specified by the U.S. Military for their most critical performance
weapons systems. It is Environmentally safe,Non-carcinogenic an Non-ozone depleting
TW-25B is a non-toxic, non-flammable synthetic grease that is easy to
apply, and provides maximum performance lubrication under extreme
conditions. TW-25B is highly effective for extreme pressure machine
applications.
TW-25B acts as an excellent corrosion barrier that will not wash off,
burn off or evaporate. TW-25B greatly reduces parts wear, extends parts
life and reduces maintenance frequency.
With a wide operating temperature range between -90 degrees and +450
degrees Fahrenheit, TW-25B ranks as the most versatile extreme
performance lubricant.
MIL-COMM KEEPS A-TEAM OPERATING
From Jim: "We just trained a couple of S.F.
"A-teams" who will be going into harms way. The first thing we did on
both pistol and carbine day was to give a maintenance class and
completely clean the weapons with Simple Green (something I picked up
from the American Gunsmithing Institute) and applying a light coat of
MIL-COMM TW25-B grease, then wiping off the white "carrier" just like
the instructions state.
We shot well in excess of 30,000 rounds in 4 days
and had next to no malfunctions that were not caused by operator error
out of the Beretta M-9s and some brand new M4a1s. Interestingly
enough we had 4 SOPMOD kits (with M-4a1s) that just came back with
some operators from Afghanistan. When we shot those at lunch (these
had not been through the maintenance class) they all 4 malfunctioned
several times!"

MC-2500 Lubricant (oil)
MC-2500 oil is based on the same technology that gives TW-25B
its fantastic performance characteristics, but in a pourable, pumbable
oil form. MC-2500 permeates hard to reach places and is excellent for
any close tolerance, high speed precision parts. MC-2500 is a non-toxic,
non-flammable synthetic oil that is easy to apply, and delivers
excellent lubrication and corrosion protection under extreme conditions
for all metal and composite surfaces. Greatly reduces parts friction and
wear. Extends parts life. Thrives in heavy load-bearing and extreme
pressure conditions. Resists wash off, wear off, burn off and
evaporation. Environmentally safe.
