Hoppe's No9 on a US Army M-4 Carbine: deal or no deal?
So my squad is in a debate over wether or not Hoppe's No. 9 solvent is ok to use regularly on a US Army issue Colt M-4 Carbine.
One guy thinks it will pit the metal (the rest of us already know this is not true), but the real debate is on the effect it will have on the finish on the upper and lower receivers. How often can you use Hoppe's without it stripping the bluing off the rifle?
Also, it says on the bottle not to use it on nickel plated parts. Will it jack up the chrome plated bore?
For future reference, we don't use CLP over here as it attracts FAR too much dust and sand, no matter how sparingly you apply it. Graphite lubricants work really well, especially if they are in an alcohol-based (or other fast drying) medium.
As for Hoppe's 9 I've never hear a bad word about it aside from the fumes till yesterday. thanks all of y'all for helping us clear it up.
Hoppe's No. 9 will NOT harm your weapon. It is a good solvent and I have used it regularly for many years on all of my guns. The reason it says not to use it on nickel plated surfaces is that it can stain them. This is only a problem for the exterior surfaces because it will look bad. It will not make any difference if your bore has stains in it. I would expect that the bullets will polish out any bore stain as you fire the weapon. Bottom line, Hoppe's No. 9 is a good product. If Army regulations do not prohibit its use (I don't think they do) and if you have it use it.
