Frog lube
- Thread starter Whiskey Gulf
- Start date
I used it for about 6months.
I was really happy with it, until I got in a sandy situation, my handgun and the long guns got quite gritty.
As well like TW25B when used with a suppressor in a high firing schedule it will start to cake up -- not as bad, and it does not dry out like TW25B. For many applications, including Maritime usage or a very humid/wet climate, it is ideal.
I've now gone back to Mobil1 Synthetic 10w40
However Arnold Dew came down with LAV for the Battle Rifle Class here in Fl, and he had some stuff called EEL SNOT, its a red oily substance - that seems to work pretty good based on VERY limited experiences. However I am testing it in a number of firearms.

This is much better than the " Frog lube: I like it" thread a few days ago. That was so typical of here it blew my mind.
I've only ever really used CLP, Slip 2000, and Molylube, and only done a hard test of molylube vs CLP. CLP won.
What is different about this frog stuff from something like Slip, or synthetic 10W?
Was the eel snot weapon specific or some other type of lube that got re-rolled into that role?

Neat, I've heard of quite a number of people use this too and that Lithium Grease stuff (mainly on M14s). But do you just drop a few drops on your BCG like regular lube, (I guess after you clean your rifle)?

And who needs incense? The sweet aroma of mint fills my safe!
I use "MILF Sweat" on all my firearms.
Yes, Synthetic oils are actually designed to lubricate under heat -- CLP is realistically three lies for the price of one.
Mediocre lube, poor cleaner, and mediocre/poor preservative.
Especially when pounding the piss out of the gun (either heavy volumes of auto, and/or suppressed firing).
The EEL SNOT, is a blend of three different substances;
Helicopter Transmission Fluid (which apparently has an awesome co-efficient of friction, and temperature stability, as from what I am told a MH-47G needs to run 30min after the transmission has lost all fluid).
Two others Arnold would not share.
I'm at week two of EEL SNOT, and it seems to be a good lube. I'm going to want a lot more data on it before I run out and christen it to replace my Mobil1.
I will say I stripped my M&P45 to the bone (locking block and trigger/sear pack out of the frame) and cleaned the crap out of it -- I then lubed it with ES, and the trigger is a lot nicer -- still not a 1911 (or even a good GROCK trigger) but nicer than the 12-20 variable I was getting recently (note gun has about 50K on it, and AFAIK was never detail cleaned - I am second owner with around 4K on it), around 6.3 lbs and crisp now, not soggy mush as it was (also I will saw that the pound of sand, and 3 lbs of carbon I took out of the gun may have been the main culprit -- it was the ugliest mess I have seen in a handgun and the gun still function).

Fairy Spunk.
The run-dry time is more a factor of the design of the transmition design, but I like the idea of using tranny fluid. As a helicopter pilot, I have easy access to lots of the fluid.
