Aw for christs sake.......Three word answer.........C....L......P
Generations of military use can't be wrong. Its been cleaning lubing and protecting vaults full of military weapons for decades......the new fangled shit is .......just shit.
You can't deny that CLP works though!I had a dog an B I N G O was his name!!!!
As I said... Kroil...
Go up to Acme in Londonderry to talk with Adam about it. He has it on the shelf (same price as CLP, but more in the bottle).
Otherwise, get some Hoppe's gun lube. Either the regular or synthetic. I have some in a precision application bottle (needle applicator). I apply a drop where needed, on some firearms.
I've been using Kroil to help another NES member in reconditioning a bunch of guns he picked up for short money. A little Kroil and they are moving nice and smooth. Of course, that's after cleaning X years of crap out of them.
Don't use froglube
Lubriplate 105. Buy a 10 oz. tube and your grandkids will be using it.
OK well right, on hand, now my alternative to FrogLube is Tetra gun grease but I have read from other forums that it can cause corrosion on stainless steel. Can anyone recommend a good grease/oil that is made for firearms (and not cars) that will not corrode and can be stored for a long period of time with out it biodegrading or edible for that matter
Hey everyone, I was was wondering if someone could provide any information/thoughts about FrogLube longevity. My concern is that the stuff is biodegradable. Thus.. over time.. FrogLube will eventually degrade rendering your firearm with out lubrication. Suppose I used FrogLube on my pistol and stored it away for 2+ year - Would I have to reapply it after taking it out of storage before using it at the range? I contacted FrobLube a week ago about my concern and they have not replied back.

I have never had issues with froglube, not sure what the fuss is about, makes everything super slick nevr had it gum up in the cold, it's a youtube myth.

Pissing my Pants.......9 out of 10 Four Seasons clerks use Frog Lube, so you know it's good.
Kroil is good to mix in my ultra sonic cleaner and that's about it . The only other time I'll use it in a gun is when I'm fitting a ak bcg to the rails if I get it jammed up a little kroil will help me getting it unstuck if a hammer doesn't do it.
I've used wd40 to lube my ar. I had used frog Lube and let my gun sit in the safe for a few weeks. Went to a car shoot.
4 times the bolt wouldn't lock up , 3-5 light primer strikes. I field stripped and took the by apart cleaned with wd40 and ran it like that till some one handed me real lube.

No commercial lubes are made for guns. You find something that was made for roller coasters, hair clippers, cars etc., repackage it, mark it up 1000%, and aggressively market it.
His exact words were he used wd40 until someone handed him some REAL lubeWhy are you using WD40 as a lube? You do know that it isn't really designed for that purpose, right? It is a "water displacement" agent designed to prevent corrosion, but not as a primary lubricant (even though it has some mild lubricity).

probably why the army gives it to us in quart size spray bottles^
This
Never have had a failure with it.
Even in sub zero temps
It was the only thing around . Used it to clean my gun at the range cause frog lube jammed it up.
I did probably 3-4 mags till some one gave me real lube .
My ar is a piston upper so I wasn't burning it off . After driving over a hour to a car shoot and my psl blowing up . I had to shoot lol .
It wasn't the smartest thing but it worked better then frog lube that day.
Gotcha, that makes perfect sense now. Thanks for the explanation.
I was half expecting it to burst into flames .
I use Ballistol - I blame Hickok45.
Crap, I just bought some to try out. That was a waste of money. That's what I get for reading the FS endorsements LOL

My biggest concern with Froglube is that is smells and tastes delicious. I swear I eat more than I put on my guns. It's seriously like paste, but for grownups.
