Fireclean v. Vuurwapen Blog

[Calculated]

A little off topic but here's an oldie but a goodie on firearm lubrication. I haven't tried the food grade stuff but I'd like to.

Eta: On what works, what sucks and what you never thought about lubricating your firearm with.

The seven paragraphs in the story were too long?

I thought that was the details of the law suit and not the back story. I'll read it in full.

I don't know what I was looking at before where I thought you posted something other than the story. Now I feel like a dummy.

Here was the best comment on the article.

I'm glad I only own Glocks and AK's. They don't need lube.

Fireclean denies that its lubricant is made of vegetable oil. They claim - by quoting their patent application - that its made of three vegetable oils.

That's a pertty weak defamation claim. The lawsuit is a pathetic attempt to engage in shuttupery.

Telling you, they are going to have to release the ingredients if it goes to court. Regardless of test results submitted, they are claiming it isn't Crisco but veg oil... That and IR spec analysis just isn't going to cut it. Combine this with the snake oil industry in gun oils and it's a pretty thin defamation suit.

You mean there are other gun lubes besides CLP?

I've never even heard of Fireclean.

Same here.

And if fireclean can prove they are not Crisco (doesn't matter if three different vegetable oils or whatever) then the "truth" affirmative defense fails.

Andrew didn't say it was Crisco. And showing its three vegetable oils (which Fireclean does not really say their lube is, only that the patent application says that), as opposed to one may not suffice if the gist of Andrew's claims were accurate based on the disclosed facts he knew.
