    No thoughts on it's performance compared with Froglube? Anyone?

    I would assume the "green colored lube" is in reference to Froglube.

    Many in my area have switched from Froglube to Fireclean. I applied it to my SR15 and Colt 6920, hopefully if the temp doesn't break 110 degrees tomorrow i'll get a chance to run it and see how it works..

    Thanks Robb, I guess I'll just hose the rifle down with some brake cleaner. Got the 2 pack of fireclean on the way so well see how it performs.

    Never used brake cleaner on my rifle before, is the non chlorinated safe if it comes into contact with my rail panels/grips/light switches?

    Great test and thanks for doing this. Did you switch around the lube positions on the Can yet?

    I have Frog Lube but it is a pain to use with having to heat the metal so I have gone back to using Hoppes to clean and Mobil 1 to oil and some TW25b on the rials/sliding parts.

    thoughts????

    Haven't had the chance to go back on the range to do an updated test, but it is scheduled and will be updated soon.

    As far as the fireclean, it doesn't require heating up, you just simply apply and go. I loved mobile one, but motor oil's one Achilles heel is that the design of the oil is for an enclosed environment so the motor oil has a tendency to run and does not stay on the places where the lube is required. where as the Fireclean, you can apply the lube and it will stay where it is need it. I have coated a bolt carrier group and stand it on its end on a piece paper to see how much of that fireclean ran off the surface and on to the paper....to my surprise, almost none of the fireclean was visible on the paper after a over night test.

    I've been using mobile 1, didn't jump on the band wagon for frog lube. I have a two pack of fireclean on the way. Mr. Lee's burn off test influenced the decision.

    Something else, I only put it on the inside of my BCG. I still run Weapons Shield on the outside and the lower temp areas.

    It still works fine even though that is not the recommended procedure.

    I also have similar concerns regarding Frog Lube. Honestly I love the stuff compared to synthetic motor oil mainly due to its dual nature of cleaner/lube. It does funtion very well in that role. I agree that application can be laborious as well.

    My biggest gripe with Frog Lube and a product like Fireclean is the requirement for exclusive application. As much as I like Frog Lube, is it worth losing ability to use another shooter's tube of Mobil 1 if I was to run out or lose my supply? I doubt the world would end at that particular moment but you know what I mean...
