Better ways to clean and lube? No way!Fact--Graphite will eat up and destroy aluminum and other alloys. Motor oil is for your car, not your gun. It hardens and makes a mess of your gun. CLP 1.

Anything else either won't adequately lube moving parts Moving parts are the components of a device that undergo continuous or frequent motion, most commonly rotation. "Parts" only include the mechanical components which does not include fuel, or any other gas or liquid. or could damage the gun. Of course, you don't want to get CLP or any lube in the gas system where it will quickly turn to carbon and plug up the gas regulator and plug. The gas system needs no lubing, so keep all lubricants lubricants preparations for the lubrication of passages to reduce frictional injury, e.g. oily preparations, including petroleum jelly, lanolin or water-soluble preparations such as methyl cellulose. away from the regulator and plug. Fact--soaking the gas plug in JP-8 and then using the plug without thoroughly rinsing off the JP-8 and letting the plug totally dry will make carbon buildup even more of a problem and could actually damage your M240. Changing the barrel when you're supposed to will help keep the gas plug from plugging up quickly. Firing and firing with the same barrel ruins the barrel and plugs up the gas system. If possible, change the barrel every 10 minutes during sustained fire (100 rounds per minute) and every two minutes during rapid fire (200 rounds per minute) like TM 9-1005-313-10 says. Clean the gas plug with your combination tool the way TM 9-1005-313-10 shows. Remember, the sooner you clean the gas plug after firing, the easier it is to clean off the carbon.
