    A lot of different lubes work very well. There are many good products to pick from.

    Our guns will run wet and clean, or wet and dirty, or even dry and clean for a while, but dry and dirty is where we run into trouble.

    If you do nothing else to keep a gun running, do keep some oil in the right places and out of the wrong places.

    Finally got around to warming it up today. It turned into a liquid almost immediately. Even the darker part that had "congealed" inside the neck of the bottle loosened up and ran to the bottom. In the end, I don't know the reason for this, but it also doesn't seem to be causing any problems.

    I assume you're talkning about Froglube. And that's the reason it works good for us in the warm climate. When your gun cools the stuff sets up a little instead of running off slowly in your safe.

    I bought Slip 2000 because the store didn't have Froglube in stock at the time. I'm probably going to try Froglube eventually, but my original bottle of Slip has lasted me a year and a half with no problems. But like Markm said, I like that Froglube kind of solidifies when sitting in your safe.

    It's not on your list but I like FP-10. I've been using it for years and prefer it over other brands I've tried.

    With my carbine exuding it's Ben-Gay smell from the Froglube, the badguys will think they broke into an old guy's house. They'll expect to run into a 38 revolver!

    CLP, Rem Oil and synthetic lithium grease.... the 20mm guns i maintain/overhaul at work that fire 4,000-6,000 SPM run on the stuff so i think its good enough for my AR.

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.” ― Jeff Cooper, Art of the Rifle

    I use SLIP and M-Pro 7. I've noticed zero difference in anything between the two and M-Pro is easier to find, so I gave it a vote. Love both though, and SLIP is of course the sexier pick lol.

    That's like saying Mobil 1 is what your lawnmower needs becase your Mercedes requires it.

    I would hope that as one who works on 20mms, you'd be able to understand that different platforms have different requirements.
    Why do the loudest do the least?
