    I fired roughly 120 rounds during about an hour at the range in humid environ under shelter. Then I travelled to a friend's house, broke the weapon down, and wiped the previously very generously lubed BCG off component by component with the microfiber.

    A light sheen remained on parts, they looked wet/dark. I then placed the rifle back in a sip-up case, and transported it to another friend's house where I took it out, placed it leaning in a closet, and went to bed. The next day it went back into the zip-case and travelled home with me. I took it inside upon arriving, and placed it in the closet. That night (I am awake nights, not days, normally), I broke it down for a full cleaning.

    It was then that I observed multiple orange freckles on the bolt-tail, which upon being wiped with FL and a microfiber remained as dark discolorations upon the shiny tail of the bolt.

    I discontinued use of the Froglube and had no further issues with the rifle even with MUCH harsher treatment. I refuse to use Froglube given my above experience, as there are better products on the market all-around. I currently use MPro7-LPX and it has performed admirably in 1500+ round torture tests (VTAC course, 0 rifle-related failures over 3 days with no lube or cleaning after initial shot fired.), and leaving the rifle uncleaned for weeks. Great product.
    I know how humid it is in Fayetteville and Shreveport, perhaps the paste is trapping moisture due to the high viscosity, just a thought. I would try some Fireclean when its time to get more lube, here are some links to Youtube videos.

    This is perhaps one of the best care systems for the Ar platform.


    If you into the "Navy Seal" thingy. They lube their guns with a product called "Marine Pal". I think mainly because it resists water exposure.
    It was designed for Oil Rigs out at sea.

    I have some Fireclean. Similar rust-prevention properties to KY. Froglube does better. Otherwise, I have found the two to be VERY similar.

Still, both are GTG, it is just a matter of cost for us, and SEAL is cheaper.
    Any idea on rust prevention? Froglubes rust prevention left alot to be wantig.
