Glock Froglube vs FIREclean

[223to45]

So what happen on day 3 ??

Dave from FIREClean stopped by at our stand during the IWA expo in Germany. He introduced the product and left several samples to us to try out.

I had a HK416 that needed a cleanup. I did not even follow their instructions properly, just wanted to clean it quickly before going home that day.

Applied the FIREClean on all of the fouled parts and let them sit for a few minutes.

Then just wiped the fouling off. The HK416 / HK417 have been really user friendly with regards to ease of cleaning, but this really did the trick the easiest that I have seen.

The rifle had c. 2-3K rounds through it after the last proper clean ( estimate as I don’t run an exact log book on this particular one )



Looks to work well, I have now applied the lube to my competition Glock also.

I am usually doubtful, as many here probably are, about something new that "does it all", whether that is in lubes or anything else related to firearms. I will see how it performs in the long run.

Nothing special, really. Carbine feels about the same as it did with LPX, nothing rusted, worked fine. It wasn't rougher, wasn't smoother. There was, however, more carbon build up on the bolt tail. Everything else seemed identical to the LPX product.

I removed this information from this forum because one of the manufacturers of the products contacted me and was not pleased with my test method.

[QUOTE=WS6;1628602]Little test I'm doing, take it FWIW to you.
-Sanded/bare allen wrench
-Saltwater laden 4-plies of toilet tissue (2 ply, folded)
-Heat-gun (Froglube side of allen wrench was heated).
-Time

I don't see that as a good way to show rust prevention. The cloth will negatively affect alot of lubricants and I cannot remember the last time I wrapped my rifle in a salt water cloth. A better way would be to spray it with salt water mist.

Just find something that works well, make sure you can afford it and that it's available, and move on.

Another nice thing is the published coefficient of friction. Very very low. Lowest, ever, they claim...I googled really fast and couldn't find one lower (other than air/magnet bearings), so who knows?

Easy to find:

Coefficient of Friction of Ice on Steel: 0.03
Coefficient of Friction of Ice on Ice: 0.02
Coefficient of Friction of Rand CLP (Ball Bearings): 0.017
Coefficient of Friction of Synovial Fluid (Cartilage): 0.0044-0.0057
Coefficient of Friction of Tendon-Tendon Sheath Interface: 0.0013 (lubricated with Synovial Fluid)

Rand CLP is 0.008. Maybe not the best, then, but pretty darn good!

Just looked at Rand CLP. They lost me at "nano infused."
