Is CLP okay for the 1860?
« on: March 22, 2014, 02:12:01 PM »
I'm running smokeless loads out of my 44-40 Uberti 1860.  Mine has the case hardened receiver.  Is using CLP in the action okay?  Any need for grease anywhere in there?  Obviously I'm more used to modern firearms than older ones.  The only thread I saw on this was people cleaning after black powder from 2006.  Thanks.

Everybody has their favorite oil, favorite horror stories about certain oils, warnings about certain oils, etc., etc., etc.  CLP should be fine, especially with smokeless.

Plus one to Pettifogger.  Breakfree is the only cleaner/solvent I've used for years and years with smokeless powder.  I do re-lube everything with Mobil 1.
