LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS
The term "cleaner, lubricant, and preservative (CLP)" or the words "lubricant", "LSA", or "LAW" are to be
interpreted to mean CLP (WP 0045, item 10), weapons lubricating oil (LSA) (WP 0045, item 21), or weapons
lubricating oil (LAW) (WP 0045, item 22). Lubricants can be utilized as applicable, with the following
constraints.
CAUTION
Do not mix lubricants on the same weapon. The weapon must be thoroughly cleaned
during change from one lubricant to another. Dry cleaning solvent (WP 0045, item
15) is recommended for cleaning during change from one lubricant to another.
1. Under all but the coldest Arctic conditions, LSA or CLP is the lubricant to use on the weapon. Either
may be used at -10 °F (-23 °C) and above. However, do not use both on the same weapon at the same
time.
2. LAW is the lubricant to use during cold Arctic conditions, +10 °F (-12 °C) and below.
3. Any of the lubricants may be used from -10 °F to +10 °F (-23 °C to -12 °C).
4. Rifle bore cleaning compound (RBC) (WP 0045, item 12) may be used to remove carbon buildup in the
bore and other portions of the weapon.
5. Users will use only those cleaners, lubricants, or preservatives listed in WP 0045. No other cleaners,
lubricants, or preservatives are authorized.
