FrogLube

I used froglube on my ar and it gummed up to the point that I couldn't cycle the action at all. I don't use froglube any more but it does smell nice.
 
I found what I believe to be a useful application for froglube...and it's not for lubricating guns. Paraffin wax is the recommended lube for brass cases when resizing them into a die, Froglube being a wax (it's not an oil) I figured I'll try it (I have an 8 oz bottle doing nothing after gumming up my Glock)...voila! Wonderful! A little FL on a Q-tip, rub the case and it slides in the die like sh1t through a goose. :) A nice smelling goose. :p
 
FL is exclusively an AR lube for me, for all my other firearms, i use a commercial non speciality lube...

Work perfect... JP.
 
I had gumming issues in cold weather with semi-automatics lubricated with Froglube. But ultimately, I hadn't wiped enough off. I repeated the process, re-heated the metal, let it cool, and then really wiped it down. Since then, it's been good to go, down to about -20 at the worst (haven't tried it any colder than that)
 
I'm a fan. Even if I didn't use the CLP (I use both liquid & paste) I'd use the solvent. Regular solvents are horrendous.

BTW, I've never used the heating method. Their website says it speeds up absorption but isn't necessary. I clean, slather with paste and put away. I wipe down, maybe add a little CLP, before heading to the range.
 
My method have nothing to do with the instructions...
Prior to start shooting, i drench my AR with the liquid FL, then i shoot away, 200-300 rounds, when i get home i strip my AR and wipe everything down with Scott towel, all the black and crude and excess FL is wipe away, leaving a pretty clean and dry AR...

After that i can go 2000 rounds or all season for matter of a fact, trouble free with this one treatment... Great stuff... JP.
 
I may have just found a new use for it JP, thanks. Right now my AR is wet with solvent in the lock-up muzzle down on an old cotton sock (lol). Once things warm up a bit, I'll try this. The worst, area of an AR is the interface of the bolt and breech...how to get all the crud out of the 'gear' is damn near impossible. That, and I don't want to know what my gas tube looks like b:.
 
I used FL exclusively on my semi-auto pistols for a few years. Followed the instructions religiously. After a while in storage each pistol would eventually gum up and become sticky, even though each pistol would be wiped dry. It would ruin the action and cause light primer strikes by getting into the striker channel, etc. The whole process with that product was pretty stupid in hind sight. I use Archoil on all my guns now-- its simple and works perfectly.

I am intrigued.
 
I haven't shot my ar in -20 weather, but at -10 froglube works on all my firearms. Semi handgun, revolver, ar, bolt rifle, lever...

I use the paste. I reapply every 5th or 7th outing. In between, i just wipe them down with a microfiber cloth and clean the bores.

I've never experienced the problems that other people are having ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No more frogjuice in use here. Gummy is being polite, after some long term storage, one of my firearms that has extreme close tolerances was near impossible to field strip. I will stick to a synthetic motor oil or chassis grease now.

Synthetic motor oil / chassis grease work well, proven tech.
