Can CLP Be Used as a Gun Lubricant? The Truth Behind the 3-in-1 Formula
Think CLP can’t be used as a lube? Think again. At Forsaken Industries, we’ve engineered a non-toxic, combat-tested CLP that cleans carbon, lubricates friction points, and protects your firearm from rust, all in one streamlined solution. Don’t fall for outdated myths. Our CLP delivers real-world reliability where it matters most.

Can CLP Be Used as a Lube?
Yes — when it’s engineered right. At Forsaken Industries, we didn’t just slap a label on a one-size-fits-all formula and call it a day. We crafted a combat-tested, field-proven CLP that stands up to real-world abuse — not just theory.
If you're tired of overcomplicated maintenance routines or opinions formed in lab coats rather than on firing lines, keep reading.
Myth #1: “CLP Formulas Fight Themselves”
Our Answer: Only if the formula is garbage.
The claim that cleaning agents “cancel out” lubricating agents may apply to cheap, watered-down CLPs — but not to ours. Forsaken Industries CLP uses chemically stabilized compounds that are specifically balanced to clean fouling without stripping away protective lubrication.
We’ve formulated our CLP to clean carbon, lube friction points, and protect against moisture and corrosion — all without internal conflict. Why? Because we’ve tested it on the range, in the mud, in freezing temps, and after high-volume shooting. Our formula performs where others fail.
Myth #2: “CLP Leads to More Jams”
Our Answer: Not ours.
Some gun owners believe that CLP-treated weapons jam more often. We call BS. Poor lubrication causes jams — not CLP. Our CLP delivers a high-performance micro-lubricating film that reduces friction, increases reliability, and doesn’t evaporate under heat.
In fact, many of our customers report smoother cycling, faster follow-up shots, and fewer cleaning intervals than when using separate products.
Myth #3: “CLP Attracts Dirt Like a Magnet”
Our Answer: Wrong formulation, wrong product.
Cheap oils stay wet and gummy — ours doesn’t. Forsaken Industries CLP dries to a protective barrier that resists dust, sand, and carbon buildup. Our product is engineered with anti-static properties to repel grime, not attract it.
Try it once in a windy, sandy environment — you’ll notice the difference immediately.
Real-World Proof Over Theory
Veterans, LEOs, hunters, and everyday carriers trust Forsaken Industries CLP because it’s built from experience — not theory. We’ve been there. We’ve seen what happens when a bolt locks up at the worst time. That’s why we made a CLP that actually works when it counts.
