    If the owner of the company makes a direct, closed-ended claim, I am inclined to believe it.

    Why?

    If we find out that it is false, the company will sink like Slick-50.

    I'm sorry I didn't jump on the little band wagon, but I like to investigate a bit first.

    Update

    I actually met with Cpt. Larry Lasky today at the SAR Show in Phoenix. We talked at length about FrogLube and exchanged thoughts. He also explained to me why he does not want to be wrapped up in internet drama.

    It's not a cop out on his part, he just prefers to let sleeping dogs lie and let the product sell itself.

    For those that doubt all you have to do is request some free samples through the link I posted. If you don't like it, no harm, no foul. Then go back to whatever you want.

    He is truly passionate about FrogLube and hopes that people will keep and open mind. I am going to try some tests here so of my own just for S&G's.

    I was favorably impressed as well, and applauded the decision to stay off the net. However, I was trained to seek evidence for the reason behind, and data supporting decisions I make. While lubing my noveske is not near as critical as medicating a patient, I apply the same principals to most aspects of my life. I do not know why froglube has such a limited msds or why the captain has decided not to publish quantitative data. While I believe him, he has not been able to tell me how much better it is than other lubes, nor would he describe the ep in the product. Other companies have no such qualms. While I do not question his honesty, I do question whether or not I want to use a product that is being marketed with little to no supporting data. For me, this is not acceptable practice and I will revisit froglube at such a time when a proper description of the product exists. If you like it, use it. If not, don't. Sums it up very well. I never put miracle addatives in my z06, and I'm not putting any in my noveske. Maybe my loss. Maybe not. Noone knows but Mr lasky, and he's not telling.

    If they'll send it out I'll give it a shot. What's the worst thing that could happen, I end up liking it? Screw all the claims, I'll just use it and see for myself.

    They will also answer any questions about Froglube as long as it isn't considered a company secret.

    I like frog lube, but I have experienced significant wear increase on pistol rails as opposed to my standard lubes(weaponshield grease and ewg). Works great on the AR though

    I just got done at the range today. Brought along the FL to maybe give it a run.

    I didn't follow any of the directions given. Just so we are clear about that.

    I ran the first 300 rounds and figured...why the hell not? I took the liquid and applied it to the rifle. What I thought was really frickin cool; I watched as the liquid displaced all the CLP on the bolt/carrier. I brushed a liberal amount of the liquid on the barrel/muzzle and any other exposed metal. The FL literally disappeared into the metal. I decided to put some more on and kept brushing it on until it wouldn't be absorbed anymore. I wiped the excess off with just a rag.

    Ran another 100 rounds through the gun and hit the bolt/carrier again with a liberal amount.

    After about 30-40 minutes of not shooting the rifle (Running the pistol) I came back to the table. It looked like the FL kind of dried up. I didn't realize that the liquid does this as well. I'd say it was high 40s maybe for the temp today. Picked it up, ran the last othe round through the rifle. The FL went right back to being "wet".

    I'll see how the clean up goes. Like I said, I did not follow the directions. I just put it on.

    Interesting. I have smeared FL paste onto Breakfree CLP before and rubbed the two togather and they mixed happily and formed an amber gel.

    So far it seems to be delivering on the First two claims. The third claim will be tougher to evaluate, since I have yet to have problems with rust on any of my firearms with any product.

    I might not know for certain on the last claim for many years down the road, but I don't plan on buttering my toast with the stuff either.




    Lastly, why make a new thread when posting this in the froglube thread would have been more appropriate?
    This, who cares. Lots of folks who claim to be inventors or Specops(Strider comes to mind) turn out to be false. Froglube works better than anything else, I use it.

    I didn't use the paste, I used the liquid. The rifle was also pretty smokin hot.

    Maybe that's the difference.

    Over the last 35+ years, 20 of them active military and 15 in Federal LE, I have had the opportunity to use most of the major clps, lubes, cleaners, etc on the market. None of them ever really impressed me till I started using FL, I use FL solely on every one of my ARs, shotguns and pistols and to this day it impresses me. My 1911s and other pistols feel like the slides are gliding on a sheet of ice. My ARs which use to take at least an hour or more to properly clean and lube can now be done in minutes. I shoot hundreds of rounds weekly and see no evidence of any type of abnormal wear. Bottom line is that it works for me and I don't forsee stopping it's use in the future and the best part is Brownells just started carrying it so I can buy it at a discount!
