In the last few months I have been rethinking lubes.
I've tried about everything under the sun. For the last two years my prefered lube has been Mobil1 Synthetic 10W30. I use MPRO7 to clean.
At SHOT the gentleman at FIRECLean dropped off a sample of their lube. I generally take most claims that folks make with a grain of salt.
One of our guys at KAC had started using it on his personal guns, and was impressed.
Ed and Dave (from FIREClean) phoned me in early March - and we discovered we were collocated in Virginia. I ended up having lunch with them locally - and we discussed shooting and a variety of other things. They are definitely shooting fans not chemists or snake oils salesmen.
I had a government demo the next day and they offered to lube the gun for me with FIREClean. Now normally I would have declined but Jack Leuba who works for KAC had been using it since SHOT, and he's pretty squared away so I took them on their offer.
Demo went well, and I was astounded as too how the weapon looked after, it was a 11.5" SR-16, and after over 900rds in an hour and a half, the lube was still wet, AND the lube on the flash hider was still wet.
It cleaned up in no time, as the carbon did not adhere to any of the steel or aluminum parts.
I was in an Allied country earlier this month, and the users where conducting an evaluation of our 11.5 and 14.5" SR-16's, the first stage was an indoor practice,
Over 750 rds of ICC Frangible where fired thru each weapon. It is pretty dirty ammo, but the fouling wiped right off.
Last weekend I took the REDBACK ONE Advanced Combat Carbine course, and took some pictures afterwards.
Aprox 500 rds fired thru the 11.5" - it was also demo'ed at night after TD1 had 'finished" as part of a flash test.
2 min wipe (and why I am a FIREClean convert)
yes I have used Slip2000 products before, as well as FrogLube and many others.
