MLP Casey Lubricant Pencil for Reloading and Shooting
The MLP Solid Film Lubricant Pen by Birchwood Casey is a cutting-edge solid film lubricant engineered specifically for precision firearm maintenance. This advanced formula delivers a durable, dry-film coating that significantly reduces metal-to-metal friction and wear on critical firearm components, including semi-metallic and metallic parts subject to high stress during shooting and reloading operations. Its pen-style applicator ensures pinpoint accuracy, enabling expert marksmen and gunsmiths to apply a consistent, thin layer of lubricant to intricate mechanisms, tight tolerances, and hard-to-reach areas such as bolt carriers, firing pins, and trigger assemblies.
Designed to withstand extreme thermal conditions encountered in rapid firing sequences and extended shooting sessions, the MLP lubricant maintains its protective properties without breaking down or attracting abrasive contaminants like dust, powder residue, or carbon buildup. This solid film barrier not only minimizes friction and mechanical wear but also provides superior corrosion resistance, safeguarding steel, alloy, and semi-metallic surfaces against oxidation and environmental degradation commonly experienced in field and range environments.
Key Technical Features:
- Solid Film Lubrication Technology: Creates a resilient, dry-film layer that reduces friction coefficients between moving metal parts, enhancing cycling reliability and component longevity without the mess of traditional oils.
- Precision Pen Applicator: Facilitates controlled, targeted application on small-scale firearm components and complex assemblies, optimizing lubricant usage and minimizing waste.
- High-Temperature Stability: Retains lubricity and film integrity under elevated temperatures generated by rapid firing, preventing lubricant breakdown and ensuring consistent performance.
- Corrosion and Oxidation Protection: Forms a protective barrier that inhibits rust formation and metal surface degradation, crucial for maintaining firearm functionality and resale value.
Application and Maintenance Guidelines:
- Safety First: Confirm the firearm is fully unloaded and placed in a secure, well-ventilated workspace before beginning maintenance.
- Surface Preparation: Thoroughly clean all metal surfaces to remove residual oils, carbon fouling, and particulate matter using appropriate solvents and brushes to ensure optimal adhesion of the solid film lubricant.
- Lubricant Application: Agitate the pen vigorously to activate the internal mechanism. Depress the tip against a firm surface until lubricant flow begins, then apply a thin, even coat to designated friction points, including bolt rails, slide grooves, and trigger linkages.
- Curing Time: Allow the lubricant to dry completely, forming a solid film. Drying duration may vary based on ambient temperature and humidity; avoid handling or cycling the firearm until fully cured.
- Routine Inspection: Periodically inspect lubricated areas for wear or depletion, especially after cleaning cycles or exposure to adverse environmental conditions, and reapply as necessary to maintain optimal performance.
