    Frog lube + cleaning barrel

    Hey,

    I'm using frog lube to lube and clean my ar. As far as cleaning the barrel goes, what would be the proper procedure. Squirt some down when it is hot then run a patch through ?

    Thanks

    How about using a proper solvent instead of lube to clean your barrel?

    There is a sticky thread dedicated to AR cleaning. You should check it out. As posted above; use a solvent to clean your barrel, not lube.

    FrogLube is a CLP and can be used for both cleaning & lubrication. Here is FrogLube's directions. The influx is strong.

    I have the directions, I guess my question is that where it says to "wipe off extra" would running a patch after use make sense / be the correct procedure ?

    Yes, once the barrel is seasoned and has cooled down, you can run a patch to wipe off the excess.

    No Problem. Just keep in mind, everybody and their mom has a different way of cleaning their guns. Most are variations of the same, and some are lacking. It's up to you to find a method that suits you and stick with it.

    When I used Froglube to clean the barrel, I placed some on a nylon brush and ran it down the bore. I later came back to it and brushed it out some more, ultimatley running patches through it until clean.
