"Yes, It’s True: FireClean is Crisco"

Post by WLJ » Sun Sep 13, 2015 1:19 pm

Just relaying this, don't shoot the messenger

Yes, It’s True: FireClean is Crisco
http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2015 ... is-crisco/
There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

I don't care what it is made of. It works.



Just wish I didn't pay $15/oz for it

fireclean has released a statement.
We would like to address recent false or misleading allegations that range from simply misguided to false, defamatory, and libelous. These attacks have been made by competitors and others that paint our product in a false or misleading light. The allegations do not focus on actual performance or relevant tests, and draw a misleading picture.

FIREClean™ Advanced Gun Oil is a specifically formulated, technically superior weapon reliability solution that resists the harshest firing with enormous heat and carbon overload that seize most weapons. It is a formulation- made specifically for exceptional reliability in firearms and weapons- not a re-labeled or re-packaged product.

FIREClean™ has been proven in combat in Afghanistan by US Special Operations Forces, and is in use by Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force Special Operations. It is also in use by elements of the FBI, DHS, DEA, CBP, Secret Service, Department of State, various intelligence agencies as well as numerous State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies.

FIREClean™ has been successfully tested on and is in use on weapons from handguns and shotguns to fully automatic and suppressed individual weapons. It has also been successfully tested on and is in use on crew served weapons from 5.56mm M249s to 40mm Automatic Grenade Launchers.

In addition to over 3 years of Combat and Service/Duty usage, FIREClean™ has been used on the competition circuit by the best shooters in the world, including the US Army Marksmanship Unit. It has been used to win multiple National Championships in Pistol, 3 Gun, Sniping, and many other competitive shooting disciplines.

We are proud to be of service to those that bear arms in defense of our freedom, those that serve to keep us safe in our communities, and those that carry firearms for self defense. We are also pleased to be of service to tens of thousands of competitors, hunters, and recreational shooters- all of whom appreciate the highest possible levels of reliability and safety.

We believe that our performance speaks for itself. We offer what we and many others regard as the best, highest performing product on the market. We have not commented on the formulation, nor will we do so now. We have focused on performance, and we will continue to do so.

Rest assured that we will defend our good name against false, defamatory and libelous allegations using the full measure of remedies available to us.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
Statement is not very well worded, or rather it beats around the point just to make there claims that there crisco is the best bomb diggity shit ever! I suspect that a drastic price drop will be needed , I mean great value Spray on canola oil comes in at like 2 bucks with a spray can and like 5 times as much lube.

If it works it works. Funny to me because I didn't pay for it but likely not funny to those who did.

Mobil one should offer a gun lube pack, where you get a quart of oil and a cute little bottle for like a buck more then just a quart of oil.

And a quart of trans fluid for cleaning with that same little bottle.

Trans and hydraulic fluid are both excellent cleaners. Lots of auto shops use a quart or so of trans fluid in their parts washers.

Found this in another forum.
Fireclean likes to claim that more smoke means a cleaner weapon, which is highly questionable, but more smoke might mean different ammo instead. Note the change in color of the primer.

I always new I was a visionary and an innovator...I remember back in '92, '93 as a new po-leece making $7.92 an hour, after cleaning my issued S&W 6906, using Wesson oil because I don't have any gun oil.
My, my. I was tactical before it was cool!

Yup, saw the Vuurwapen Blog post about the casings from the Vicker's Tactical video. if they are willing to lie to make their product look better in a 'demonstration video' then why should I trust them at all, especially at the price they charge?

For the cost, it seems I could replace the BCGs a couple of times over if necessary, but I have not yet had to replace a single BCG even after thousands of rounds of Wolf Steel case using either CLP or Rem Oil.

perhaps I am just missing the point of all the expensive lubes... or maybe I am just a cheap bastard. Or both.
