After suffering the malodorous Hoppe's No. 9, I bought some F.C. and find it does a great job with no stink.

If you wade into the comment war that follows the article, the author says that it did a good job on ARs in some test they ran earlier, and several others say their guns clean up very well. But it apparently it only lubes, it does not protect against corrosion.

I guess I am out of the gun gossip loop, I had no idea there was any 'controversy' over FireClean -- actually I did not even know it existed. I am still living off of a great big bottle of Militec-1 and some lithium grease I bought years ago. Militec-1 had its own go-around of controversy, but I have not yet found any reason to stop using it.

Putting vegetable oil on a firearm does sound a bit odd to me -- I'd be more likely to go with bacon grease, but that would probably just make me hungry...
