Coast Guard, FBI, DEA, Secret Service, NRA...All use this product!

Post by Flip-Side »

Those of you that have read that I use Militec-1 metal conditioner may think I am just a lowly "Snake Oil" buff. It's not a telemarketed oil "additive". I am not a salesman...I'm in the service...so if you own a gun or rifle...please read on.For Immediate Release: To All Military ActivitiesCoast Guard Switches To MILITEC-1 Weapons Lubricant(1) On August 28, 2001 RADM H. E. Johnson released ALCOAST 364/01, an advisory authorizing MILITEC-1 (a synthetic gun oil) and Insight (a gun cleaner) to replace the earlier all-in-one product, Mil-Spec CLP (Cleaner, Lubricant, Preservative).This exception to PMS applies to all CG-owned weapons, smaller than .50-caliber.(2) Justification for this deviation to PMS was for operator safety concerns. Excessive material build-up in the firearm was a contributing factor justifying this advisory.(3) Federal Law Enforcement agencies began replacing CLP with two separate products starting in 1988. All-in-one products were considered inadequate. Better results were obtained using a cleaner to prepare the weapon and MILITEC-1 to lubricate it. In addition to the Coast Guard, the Federal Agencies listed below currently use this procedure on their weapons. These agencies are aware that other government agencies may contact them as "referenced users" of MILITEC-1. For complete contact information, see page 2.U.S. Secret Service Naval Criminal Investigative Service FBI, Nationwide U.S. Coast Guard Drug Enforcement Administration U.S. Department of State, Worldwide Immigration & Naturalization Service Defense Criminal Investigative Service U.S. Postal Inspectors U.S. Park Police Supreme Court of the U.S. Police(4) Several weapons manufacturers now formally recommend and issue MILITEC-1 to their factory-sponsored Law Enforcement Training Schools and selected weapons customers. These manufacturers include:Beretta Sig Glock H&K Springfield Barrett Les Baer Benelli Knight ArmamentThe National Rifle Association issues MILITEC-1 to all attendees of their Law Enforcement Schools nation wide. (5) Our forces are going into one of the most inhospitable terrains on the planet. MILITEC-1 allows small arms to be fired (dry-lubricated) at least one thousand rounds with no build-up of dangerous materials and no sand or debris retention that could cause a failure to fire. This technology was proven during Desert Storm and Kosovo.Starting with Desert Storm, and in every conflict since, rush shipments of MILITEC-1 have been ordered directly by our forces using their Impac Cards, and also through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), which manages MILITEC-1 through its supply system.In combat, there are no second chances. Ninety-nine percent (99%) reliability is not good enough for small arms. It must be one hundred percent (100%). One jammed weapon is not an option where our troops' lives are concerned. MILITEC-1 can and will enhance the combat readiness and mission capability of our Armed Forces in this time of war.
Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others have labored hard for.

hmm maybe the group I'm stationed at is slow but we don't use it and the Cutters we support in this area don't use it either.Maybe it's used by the Law enforcement detachments in certain areas for the Coast Guard but it's not used as a whole. At least not yet anyway.
