Law enforcement personnel rely on these tools to work as designed during life threatening deadly force encounters. The finishing, refinishing and lubrication of firearm components is a cost effective and efficient way to extend the lifecycle and maintain the serviceability of these items. Many of the M16 family of firearms used and maintained by the OFTP were acquired through a U.S. Department of Defense contract and are maintained in accordance with MIL-A-8625Fwhen and where applicable. Additionally, OFTP has a need to supply readily identifiable training systems in various colors to their law enforcement personnel.
