I just don't see the point of using boutique lubes from gun-specific companies. They're never going to have the R&D power that somebody like Shell will.
You want something exotic? Get the lube they use on drilling equipment in salt mines or something.
Otherwise, I just can't really wrap my head around paying fireclean or froglube prices for really simple chemical mixes with a lot of marketing behind them.
Full disclosure: I'm the editor of Calibre Magazine, which is Canada's gun magazine. In the past I've done consulting work for different manufacturers and OEM suppliers, but not currently. M4C's disclosure policy doesn't seem to cover me but we do have advertisers, although I don't handle that side of things and in general I do not know who is paying us at any given time.
