Frog Lube?

I've only ever used frog lube on my tavor and never had a single failure. Sayin that, I truly think I can used a stick of butter on my tavor and never get a failure either. It works well but doesn't like extreme cold. In the end, any lube will keep a gun running just fine, it's just that some lube will require re application before others.

Good old breakfree CLP

Yup! only thing I've used to lube and protect my rifles pistols and "shoot'em up" guns for 50 years!!!! As John Wayne says "If it ain't broke ... don't try to FIX IT!!!!" Putting guns into storeage - coat them heavily with the OLD creamy color CLP - seal in an airtight plastic bag designed for that purpose! If a product has a US Milspec # on it ... its good enough for me ....
 
I use Freedom Juice on everything. No odour, no residue, no gumming up and works great on optics as well.
 
It didn't take me long to try and move on from frog lube. Depending on firearm and use, I tend to use Balistol, Slip 2000 and Archoil. Left behind CLP, Froglube, MPro7 and G96. If you want to run an AR wet, Slip 2000, dry Archoil, but that's just me.
 
I used it for several years and was a fanboy. Then just recently I had it really gum up in two different guns. It turned into a brownish goop that was hard to remove. I tried the cleaner solvent and it was useless. I've gone back to Slide Glide on the rails and CLP on the disco of my 1911's and action parts on other guns. I have no idea of what caused the issue. at first I thought the FL had become contaminated by some other lube but then a month later, on another gun I had the identical issue. In the first case the gun had not been used in a while but not so in the second instance. it's not worth worrying about. The way I clean my guns and relube, I'm OK with just bout anything and have ten years supply of various products.
 
All you need

FrogLube was great all summer last year, I loved the stuff. When winter hits and your lube turns to taffy... not so much love anymore lol.

If your a fair weather shooter and put it on while the gun is hot it works great.

Same here. Only reason I'm still using FL is because I bought the large 8oz bottle and large tub of paste BUT I only use it for external treatment ie, wipe down my barrel, receiver after range day. That said, I didn't do a whole lot better switching to FireClean but I bought two bottles of the stuff so got to use it up. Both FL and FC dry out and become gummy. FL in about 2-3wks in the safe and FC in about 3-4wks.

I got enough work maintaining all my firearms, I sure don't need a lube that I have to maintain on top of the firearm.

Hmmm, Slip 2000 eh? I might try a bottle. Who carries it? Not snake oil I hope. Been suckered too many times.
 
I use the froglube "treatment" on the outside of my firearms. I like the fact that its not toxic, i can get it all over my hands without worrying. Doesn't leave an oily film after.
Time will tell how it lasts and prevents rust over time though.
 
Main reason I moved away from it is that even when I warm the metal internal parts up an apply it thin I still find that it seem to hold on to dirt and it gunks up inside the firearm
 
I left froglube for all the reasons mentioned previously. "It Just Doesn't Work" My advice is I would only use it on knives which I do now. I have a lot of suspicions on FC and FL and the marketing of these products and the people behind it.

All stick to Break Free although they seem to have changed there formula compared to the old bottles I still have. They have SafariLand labeled on there bottles now above BreakFree, not sure what happened to them, perhaps all email the company to get more info, I guess they were bought out.

In conclusion I would be very weary of all these new oils.
 
I think the problem is that people like to see it on the surface that they're trying to protect. In fact, it's more like car wax, and less like rustproofing spray. You have to completely wipe it off. The protective layer is not supposed to be seen or felt.

So what's the point then besides wasting product?
 
I've used it for 3 years and I've had no problems with it. Even when my XCR I had was somewhat frozen It cycled really well in -30c weather.
 
Lot's of places, check your LGS they will most likely have it or tell you where you can get it locally. It's non toxic and synthetic, no carbon sticking, just wipe away.

do not use anything organic on your gun, unless you have a habit of sipping your gun oil while bore scrubbing.....
anything organic is unstable..would they put organic oil into your engine? plenty synthetic non toxic gun oil out there.......
