Besides the BCG, where else do you gents apply the Frog? I shoot my rifle even in the winter, and I heard that Frog Lube can gum up the works until it gets hot, although I've not personally seen or heard of such a thing happening. My AR is DI, if that makes a difference.

Anywhere metal slides on metal and any gas affected parts. Bolt face and chamber should always be clean and dry when fired.
 
The people experiencing problems in cold weather are NOT using froglube as per manufacturer instructions. They are applying it as if it were oil or grease and not with the heat and wipe method as per manufacturer. Let's face it, frog lube is labour intensive and not for the lazy.

I did the full gamut (heat, wipe as you say) and still had problems in cold weather. Zero issues since going to ballistol.
 
Frog lube EVERYWHERE!

i haven't shot my AR in the cold outside but it sits in the trunk for half an hour headed to the range. Sometimes my firearms are ice cold after that but one shot is good to go. My AR has never jammed and i rarely clean it

They only way I can see cold weather affecting froglube would be if it froze. If you wiped after heating and letting it cool there would be nothing left externally from the metal to freeze and stick, unless you reapplied some froglube after wiping it off. In sub zero temps running with the frog lube completely wiped off should pose no issues. In warmer temps leaving some on or "wet" would also pose no issue.
 
I bought the small tub of paste and used it on a few of my guns, never had an issue in the cold around -10 to -15. I stopped using it just because the application process is a pain having to heat it up with a blow dryer and brush it on everywhere etc. I think when used properly, and perhaps isn't super cold out it is a pretty good product.

That's subjective, if you lube your bolt properly lube will find it's way on the bolt face pretty quick. But it's irrelevant.

Fireclean is my new ### lube.

ARs will run bone dry, but they will run longer if lubed well.

If you think big names in firearms aren't paid for their endorsements, I have some swamp land in Florida to sell you. FL isn't for everyone and there are lots of other options out there. Use what you like and what works for you. If anyone wants to unload their POS froglube PM me I would be happy to ruin my firearms with it :D

My AR is a restricted firearm that I use only at the club in ideal conditions.

I am not a soldier or a LEO who works with a rifle. Unless one day armageddon comes, I don't see myself using my AR in -30C.

I'm just a guy on a forum and Froglube happens to work for me.
 
I use Frog Lube on my Norinco AR 10.5 I use the cheepest .223 I can get.... Frog lube to clean then Frog lube to lube....

I Put the S*^% on everything !!!!

No problems at all.... 0 problems even with full Beowulfs...
 
To answer the OP's question, I Froglube everywhere also. The first time I applied it, I stripped my rifle down and heated-up every metal surface and applied the paste. For every day maintenance, I just wipe off the grime, reapply a thin layer of Froglube and wipe it off using a rag. The barrel gets scrubbed with a Boresnake, cleaned with the liquid lube and wiped off.

I used to maintain my rifle with Breakfree CLP but being lazy when it comes to firearm cleaning, I decided to switch to Froglube when I saw on videos showing how easy the grime would come off. This is realy what sold me to Froglube!

Hope this helps.

I've decided to test it as well to see what the difference(s) will be between it and FL, that way I'll know it first hand what both are like.

I didn't mind the FL scent, but 4-5 firearms later when cleaning them I couldn't smell anything else by peppermint for an hour after!
