[zap brannigan]

any degreaser, even wd40 works fine to remove that stuff.

What is the recommended way of removing frog lube from a used pistol I have not fired yet? Thanks. Have been using G96 for over 30 years.

Simple Green if you'll do it inside, or any good degreaser/cleaner such as acetone, butanone (just don't get it on any plastic though!), carburator cleaner.

Yea watch out using degreasers like brake cleaner indoors. I was cleaning my Glock out in my condos bathroom and when I lit a cigarette it instantly ignited all the vapors that had pooled into the sink. It literally was an explosion in my face and I had to go to the hospital for burns all over my arms.

Thanks for recommendations for what to use to degrease blued pistol to remove frog lube. Must do indoors, will use either Simple Green or WD 40 which I have, know these will not compromise bluing.

I use Ballistol because I like the smell ( it can double as aftershave).......
use gunbutter on the slide of my IPSC gun.

I've used Frog lube recently and decided I wasn't a big fan. All I used to remove it was to clean the pistol with my all time favorite (and yours) G96.
