Military Lubricants, Additives and Greases

Firepower FP-10™

Firepower is the ultimate lube in complete care of firearms, weapons and weapon systems. Firepower FP-10 possesses exceptional properties for an all-in-one firearms maintenance product. Firepower cleans the weapon, removes lead and copper, lubricates, guards against extreme pressure and wear, plus protects lubed surfaces from corrosion.

Many semiautomatic and full-automatic weapons will dysfunction after periods of fire sufficient to build up and transfer high heat to the receiver and its moving parts.
Two examples are Heckler & Koch’s MP5 submachine gun and Barrett Firearms’ M992A1 .50 caliber semiautomatic. Both models have a tendency to dysfunction after sufficient heat is generated through firing while using conventional lubricants. If Firepower FP-10 is applied, no dysfunctions associated with lubricity and tolerance change will occur. Feeding and extraction problems in the Remington 870 shotguns will also be rectified from the use of Firepower FP-10.

Truvelo entered into the field of barrel and rifle manufacturing in 1994. The success of the manufacturing of highly accurate barrels led to the development of a combination of our own barrel range and sophisticated sniper rifle technology. The proud result of this combination is Truvelo’s range of highly accurate, long range rifles with calibres up to 20x110 Hispano.

The Truvelo design team has added the Counter Measure Sniper Rifle (CMS) Series to its range of small arms. The CMS was developed for Urban Type Warfare at a shorter range. The rifles are compact and allow for easy manoeuvrability. The stock is foldable and the rifle lighter which makes it easier to carry in confined areas.
Interchangeable fore-ends available (application dependent).

Truvelo currently fields AMR (anti-material rifles) in four calibres, namely the 12,7x99mm, the 14,5x114mm, the 20x82mm and the 20x110 Hispano. In addition to this, the Truvelo APR (anti-personnel rifle) series is available in 7,62x51 Nato and the .338 Lapua.

The key to the success of the Truvelo range of sniper rifles is traditional attention to detail and sticking to what works best. While Truvelo’s Midrand plant is home to proven technology, its designs also match space-age material with classical lines. All rifles are bolt action. The combination of the right steel, the manufacturing process of the barrel, the bolt action and the fitment of the barrelled action into an ergonomically designed stock ensure unsurpassed accuracy. The most important features of these precision weapons are that they are lightweight, adjustable and accurate.
