    Interesting to see so many Mobile 1 heads. I could never get that shit to stay put at all. I think I just had some extra 10-30 when I tried it. I stuck it out for a long time because it was better than CLP. But when I tried Froglube, I was blown away.

    Thinking of trying Fireclean at some point however.

    I like FrogLube. Started using it last year so not years and years of experience with it. The application kinda sucks, but I break down all of my guns at once and do them unless its maintenance on the ones that get shot more frequently. I take all of the parts, line them up on the bench, paste them up or squirt them down, then take a heat gun and cycle it hot, let it cool, hot, cool, etc, about 4 or 5 times.

    I've heard a ton of complaints via the interwebs about the paste getting gummy, but I've never had that issue. One thing I will do in addition to just wiping stuff down, is that on the last heat cycle I will get it really hot so its very runny, then take my air compressor and blow out all of the excess liquid so it doesn't build up in the nooks and crannies once it cools back down. This method has worked great to also keep from running out of the pin slots and trigger assembly when it heats up during use.

    I especially love the fact that I don't have to be careful when I apply it. I smother the crap of an entire weapon, grip, rails, internals, trigger, sights, I mean freaking everything. I figure if there are any little nicks in the anodizing/plating/coating of choice, then it will help prevent any rust or surface corrosion. So far, it hasn't caused my clothes to get nasty from it and I haven't had a weapon slip out of my hands b/c it was so slick. Just heat it up, wipe off/blow off the excess. Simple.

    As for actual results, it works as advertised. Haven't had the first problem with it. Its nothing earth-shattering, but it keeps the weapon clean and wet as well as anything else I've used.

    The list of weapons I use it on:

    Newest Noveske/Vltor/Centurion build
    Recently sold BCM/Core15 frankenAR
    HK P30 (my daily carry weapon)
    SA XD9 and Ruger SR22 (the wife's plinkers)
    M&P 15-22 (wife's plinker)
    Savage Rascal single shot bolt .22 (oldest daughter's plinker)

    And unfortunately everyone involved in most every aspect of it is simply not qualified to make the choices and claims they do.

    What? No Remoil?

    I used to use Breakfree CLP. However I recently tried Fireclean and see no reason to use anything else.
    Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly; the ill deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly.

    I was using Shooter's Choice Synthetic grease or Machine Gunners Lube depending on what I had handy and what firearm I was using.

    I was using the grease on a Glk 17 & 19 and noticed I had to reapply it frequently, especially during a high round count pistol course, or after a match. MG lube on my rifles worked out well but seemed no better then any other lubes I have used in the past.

    I have been using Froglube on everything for the last couple years and have had no complaints, doesn't run everywhere, clean up seems far easier than previous used lubes, and I basically wipe the weapon down & reapply.

    Am going to pick-up some FireClean and see how that works out on a CZ P-09 and one of my rifles.
