    I'm talking lead slinging, not internet soap operas.

    With the "passion" some have for these products, I wouldn't be surprised.

    Although, if reports are true, the froglube guys will be f*ked if the shit pops off up north.

    If you go to Slip's parent company website, Superior Products, it reads the same as the 'industrial' lube that is listed on their website. That 'industrial' lube from Superior Products is available in much larger quantities (gallons/drum) at probably a fraction of the cost. Mobil1 works best in my experiences for a lube, clp (any brand) for exterior wipe downs, jme.

    Internet? Those ARE going to a courtroom, or at least to some offices, so that an out of court settlement can be made. Honestly, much farther than any argument over lube should go.

Slip 2000 EWL was the lubricant used on the "Filthy 14" BCM carbine used at EAG Tactical that was never cleaned. Only Slip 2000 EWL was added to the gun as needed. I believe it has around 50,000 rounds on it now. Whatever the exact round count is, it's pretty impressive. There are many excellent gun lubes, and I know this can be a very touchy and emotional subject for some people. I don't know exactly where Slip 2000 EWL ranks exactly against other gun lubes, but I think it has to be in the top tier. It has been around for over a decade now, and has always consistently received very impressive reviews from everyone I have heard talk about it. I have also had excellent results with their Slip 2000 EWL grease. It's a very light grease, and really lasts seemingly forever, way longer than any wheel bearing grease I have ever tried. Point is, Slip 2000 EWL products are excellent and have been proving themselves for over a decade now.

    I don't understand why gun lubricant companies try and hide what is in their products. I have been researching industrial and aviation lubricants from the major companies. They tell you what the bases and additives are. High pressure and anti wear additives have advanced quite a bit. You can buy top of the line industrial or aviation lubricants that have the latest technology for $12.00-$15 a tube for grease. Make sure you get the consistency you want. This stuff is rated at like -50 to 400 degrees F.

    Maybe it's to avoid the drama, or delay patent challenges?

    In industry, you typically have people who have some clue looking at it, and they don't go posting bs on the Internet about your product, unless I'm just not looking at the right forum.

    I see you're an expert in the field. I don't have any problem with a company having designed the best lubricant, cleaner etc for the gun market. The one in the op may be great. From what I've been reading about lubricants synthetic can be good stuff. Weapons Shield says that they have some boundary additive that is much better than Teflon. I would think most quality lubes have decent additives. I just think that as consumers we can probably find products designed for the industrial, auto, or aviation market that would be just as effective.

    Any suggestion for the type for the grease and oil.

    To me a gun is, an assembly of moving parts.

    Imho the only consideration is does the product contain additives that are for the aplocation.

    I am in the process of researching it. Recently Lucas released their Extreme Duty Gun Grease that has the same ingredients as their Marine Grease except a grape scent. The additive percentages could be different but they posted the Material Data Sheets and the ingredients are the same. I think as far as grease goes high quality synthetic grease with extreme pressure additives would be the best. The additives basically form a barrier when the grease breaks down or no longer separates the metal parts. Some additives are activated by heat and some work regardless of the temp. Mobil Aviation Grease SHC 100 is fully synthetic with a lithium complex thickener. It is rated from -65 F to 350F. The dropping point which is when it turns from grease to liquid is 532 F. The NLGI grade is 2 which is basically how thick it is. 2 seems to be what some gun greases are such as Lucas. I am now looking at oil. They have various uses they are designed for and I am trying to figure out which would apply best to firearms. Synthetic has a stronger film. I am trying to find out which oils will provide the best barrier and friction modifiers. Molybdenum is one that works well. It also has to prevent corrosion and withstand heat. I am looking at the latest oils used in various uses. I can now see why people use motor oil because so much research has gone into them. Same thing with industrial. If machines wear out from poor lubricant it's a major expense. I am not an expert but much of this stuff is on websites such as www.machinerylubrication.com

    I'm not an expert in the field, I was speaking to industry in general based on my experienced. I deal with industri lubricants often, but not related to aviation. I don't know enough to say "just as effective", but I generally agree with your last point. I'd rather just use a known and shoot than experiment with a bunch of lubes, personally. Cost isn't a factor imo as a bottle lasts over a year for me.
