    FrogLube

    Okay, just my observations on the FrogLube. This is simply an unconventional "in-house" finding and nothing else. Note, I did not have the opportunity to fire the weapon as of yet.

    Received the FrogLube on Friday and following the directions I applied the product to my BCG and the inside of the upper. Did that Friday, Saturday, and this morning. By the way, I dunked the bolt into the "melted" (microwaved paste for 30 seconds) paste a few times. Also put very liberal amount onto the bolt carrier.

    Here's what it appears at room temperature (58F degrees inside my home) and after more than 60 minutes of dry time from last application this morning. So it's been a few hours of dry time now, since I took the pictures about half an hour or so ago.





    Looks like it "coagulated" in the latter picture. Don't know if that's a good thing or not. I did a liberal application to the BCG the previous days. Maybe too much and did not wipe off excess?

    Here's what it appears after using a hair-dryer-blower (I don't have a heat gun) set on HI-HEAT for some 30~45 seconds. [Does any gun ever get hot when being fired? I can only imagine! ]







    What's interesting to me, is that when the FrogLube "dries," the BCG feels kind of slick, not greasy and not wet. When heated up the seemingly "dry" FrogLube does get "wet," not just moist, but wet and remains that way until it cools down.

    I'll see how the n4lr functions with the FrogLube when I go to the range sometime later next week and report back.

    By the way, the FrogLube has no taste at all to my tastebuds!

I am in no way an expert on this topic but the only way I would use a lube like motor oil is if I was in a situation where I had no other choice to keep it lubed. Just my honest opinion. Any chemists want to chime in and possibly convince me otherwise?
    Break free CLP and Slip 2000 EWL for the most part. Grease on specific applications.
    Wrong Wrong Wrong!!
    Have you ever worked on a Briggs & Stratton I would say no because it has no oil pump it merely uses splash lubrication. Most automobile engines use only pressurized oiling to the crank bearing and cam bearings. Most of the time the valve train and rings are splashed lubricated. There are some exceptions but 99% use splash lubrication some were in the engine. Since you obviously do not know how engines work please stop spreading that crap internet bull shit.

    I agree I have been using motor oil Castrol syn.20w/50 for years on my AR it does not stain and stays wet during long round counts and shooting Russian laquire steel case ammo all day it works Great. I had a few guns lubed with CLP and it just dried up and left a stain on the metal parts and I had a bottle of CLP I had in one of my range bags and it dried up in the bottle. Motor oil does not do that

    Dang man didn't think you would post that HM. Normal lawn mower engines do not have a oil pump they use splash lubrication , and 99% of the engines on the road use slash lubrication for the valve train and rings pressurized oil is normally only feed to the crank bearings and cam bearings. On a 5hp lawn mower engine the whole thing is splash lubricated. The main objective of pressurized lubrication is to create an oil wedge between the bearing surfaces on a crankshaft it has to deal with pressure of the power stroke and high RPM on the camshaft same principle the oil wedge is to counteract the valve spring pressure. Please dude look it up splash lubrication happens in some form in almost every engine.
    Not saying that motor oil is the end all be all I haven't tried every gun oil on the market but I have tried a lot of them the closest specific gun lube that I have tried that compares to good motor oil is machine gunners lube.

    I guess you didn't read my next post: "I appreciate all the information and agree that as far as a lube, motor oil is superior in many ways. I'm weary of the additives and detergents, that are specific to engines and also the toxics/toxins involved that you are exposed to on different levels. If your ok running with these then I respect that, but I will stick to the ones mentioned: Break free CLP and Slip 2000 EWL for the most part. Grease on specific applications. Again I respect all of your information and impute and I am in no way trying to start a shit storm". As stated its my opinion and no I am not an expert on this subject matter as also stated...but it is my opinion which if thats what you call crap, ok...

    Yes, it is splash lubricated It is also a sealed system, the AR is an open system.

    Macine Gunners lube is good lube but is is a moly-based lube and not similar to motor oil. Closer to a gear oil.

    I, at first thought this was just another gimmick. We've all seen a bizzillion of them. I've been guilty of biting on many myself. First of all, this isn't a gimmick. It really works. As far as the coagulated picture goes, blow dry it some more, let it dry and then wipe excess off. I'm far from an expert, but have used a similar product for years on my muzzle loader and this seasoning process works. I've been muzzle loading way since before pyrodex and triple seven with no problems. FL is ten times better than the stuff I've been using.Some things that sometimes sound too good to be true aren't. This stuff is just flat out good. No plans to eat it though. I'm gonna be using this on all my guns. Glad I found out about it. Thanks for the opportunity to voice my opinion on this.
