I ended up sending it back to BCM and they sent it back fixed. There was no write up on what they did but it's what I assumed they did. You don't shoot steel cases though right?
    I ran a handful of steel cased ammo I'm sure, but not much. Generally all brass cased. I wonder if there wasn't a bad/soft batch of gas tube. It took me quite a while to figure the problem out.

    I shoot a Noveske 10.5" SBR, a BCM 14.5" Middy and a DD16" Middy all with H2 buffers and blue Sprinco springs. They all run fine with the ammo I shoot. Although I haven't shot any low pressure Wolf or Tula stuff. Don't plan to either

    I'm running an H in my 14.5" Daniel Defense mid-length. H2 would would have issues with steel-cased ammunition. I worked down to an H and problems went away. I mostly shoot 5.56 or quality hand loads in this rifle, but want it to run anything I put in it.

    My two 16" BCM mid-lenths with H2s had issues with Tula, Wolf, etc so I'm running carbine buffers in them. The H seemed fine, but I only have a few H buffers, so those are in carbine gas systems and the 14.5". I really couldn't tell much difference in the way the guns run between the H and Carbine, so no reason to by more Hs for backup guns.

    All my buffers and springs are Colt or BCM for what its worth.

    I run the blue Sprinco and an H2 buffer in my Centurion Arms 14.5" middy-- over 8K rounds fired using all kinds of stuff from XM855 to Tula. No problems whatsoever. This is the spring/buffer combo I used in all my guns-- 16" middy, carbine and a 14.5" carbine.

    Bump... I'd still like to hear what the scoop is on this. I don't want to be recommending a product that's problematic.

    samuse? anyone?

    I used FrogLube for a while. Under most conditions, and with regular use it's a great lube. I love the fact that it stays where you put it until fired. I used it all last year and did lots of shooting with great results. The "gummy" problems I had heard about never made much sense to me until recently. I didn't do much shooting this winter, and had several guns sitting unfired for around 4 months. Took them out for a class in January and it didn't go well. Whether from sitting up, the cold weather (temps in the low 20s), or a combination of both, the FrogLube had basically turned into something resembling molasses. Caused several issues until it heated up and thinned out again after working through a mag or two.

    I wouldn't recommend it for guns that will be treated and put away for any length of time, and I wouldn't recommend it for anyone in cold climates. Personally, I just moved on. I loved a lot about the stuff but the stipulations overpower the benefits to me. I'm back to good ol' Mobil 1 for now, although I am testing Fireclean and RandCLP on a couple guns with good results so far.

    That makes sense. I mean.... I've only observed it in the desert environment. But watching it set up a little when it cools off made me wonder about it in actual COLD weather.

    I'm using one of the JP Enterprises captured buffer/spring setups. Runs smooth as a bowl of exlax and no more cheese grater noise. Lol

    All kinds of reports of that stuff gumming up guns everywhere but here.

    The instructions are ridiculous and the claims they make are so far fetched I don't see how anyone with any common sense thinks it would be a worthwhile PITA.

    I've never tried the stuff myself, but I don't need to. You tell me to hit my gun with a hair-dryer, and smear on some vegetable grease that will soak through the finish and into the pores of a hard-ass steel gun, and disappear, only to return again (a visible amount nonetheless) when I shoot the gun... Yeah.
