This is the correct answer.I would suggest switching to a lubricant formulated for cold weather applications and use either weapon.
And if I recall correctly from my Army days, CLP is rated for use down to around -55C.
Hmmm, I was taught differently when I was in the Army.Oh and the army taught me to leave my rifle outside the tent...
When in the field, your rifle was never out of arm's reach.
In fact, during Basic (Ft. Sill, December 1986) the Drill Sgt.'s would sneak around late at night, reach inside your tent while you were sleeping, and try to take your rifle.
We were advised by some senior cadre to wrap the sling around your arm or sleep with the rifle inside your sleeping bag in order to keep it from being snatched in the night.
Just because a person currently resides in a warm state, that does not mean that they have no experience with cold climates.Wyocarp:
I'm trying to wrap my head around why most of the people responding to this thread live in places like New Mexico and other southerly climates.
Until your vehicle temperature gauge has had readings of less than -15 numerous times during the winter, I would think you don't really have the knowledge to respond.
Just as the opposite is true....
I have a friend who now lives in Alaska, but he spent four years at Ft. Bliss Texas while in the military.
He might live in Alaska but he definitely knows a thing or two about the southern desert.
Easy
