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.
