PSA on Frog Lube

So I am posting this in wonderful GD to allow for more to see this.

I sent a co-worker to LiveFire Armory, Kevin in Falcon,CO. He is awesome by the way.
He got my co-worker a Trijicon Accupoint scope for a great deal and then my co-worker
for me helping him find a great deal, bought me some Frog Lube.

This stuff is amazing. I cleaned my pistol last night, I hadnt cleaned in a long time and old
carbon build up on the barrel and all over basically.
I applied the FL and let it sit for about 30 to 40 minutes.
I scrubbed the heck out of it, but not as much as I normally do. The gun was sparkling after
and the friction between the slide and frame seems a lot smoother and less friction by a significant amount.
I usually have used Mobil synthetic oil for lubricating my guns, not anymore. Frog Lube for everything.

Just thought you knuckleheads would like to know. Its great stuff and well worht the money.

Also has a minty smell, so my Hot lil Hole didnt mind me cleaning in the living room[Beer]

Since I washed from class 218, the SEALs always will have a special place in my heart and this is the real reason why
I wanted FrogLube.

You win the interweb![ROFL1]

I just started using it myself also and I have no complaints. It appears to work as advertised.

Yup! Frog Lube everything!

Yup works great!!

I've been using it for a long time, fantastic stuff.

Just an FYI, lock and load armory at 58th and Washington has it in stock.

Everything?
Even that ... um, 'scuse me DD977GM2 .... hot lil hole?
(does she know you call her that?)

It's been doing great for my guns, no complaints. That reminds me I need a few more of the glue brushes for the paste...

My wife always complains about the strong smell of hoppes #9 so I have been thinking of picking some of this up!

Question: I know a lot of guys recommend grease for high heat guns such as AK's. How well does frog lube hold up in these applications? Will it just burn off like light oils?

I bought some a few weeks ago. Here is my early two gun report.

The bottle the liquid came in has a big hole to dispense it. There is no way to just put a drop or two out. I ended up using a piece of 1/16 inch diameter wire as a dipstick applicator. It is also thick enough that I don't know if it will work in a bottle that dispenses just drops. I also doubt you could get down a long thin tube to get where you want it.

I bought my FrogLube from Midway. They only sell the liquid and paste. The FrogLube website also shows a spray type. I'll have to get some of that to try. I did buy some paste. I used it where I would normally use grease.

It does seem very slippery. I couple days ago I cycled one of the FrogLubed guns that had been in the 40 degree shop overnight. It seemed to be stiff like the lube got stiff in the cold. I'm going to have to check that out some more before I trust it on something subject to cold.

FrogLube says it is biodegradable. I'm not sure what that means in this case. I'm don't know if I want it on a gun if that means it only lasts a few months before it breaks down.

It will take some time to see if their claim that dirt doesn't stick to it proves out to be true.

I'm curious to see how it handles high temperatures.

It does smell nice. Whenever I open my safe nowadays I get hit with a pleasant minty smell.

It definitely seems to be slipperier than other lubes.

I like it so far. I don't regret the money spent. It will definitely be my primary lube on most of my guns.

Had both my ARs out shooting this past sat when it was 40 degrees outside, and they were fine.

my .02. more expensive hype when all the other stuff has worked fine ever since I can remember.
I'll stick to what I know and keeping my guns cleaned and lubed as they always have and they will continue to work just fine!

Thanks for the report. That was the first time I had it cold. I wasn't sure but it did bother me enough to want to specificaly check it cold. Just to make sure it was ok.

Yes she does and she doesnt mind.

But lubing everything since its food grade products, I guess it would be alright [ROFL1][ROFL1][ROFL1]

Them darn fangled mobile telephones. My rotary has worked just fine attached to the wall [ROFL1][ROFL2][ROFL3]

I picked some up from the Tanner show last month. I've applied it to the bolt carrier and upper receiver of one of my AR's, as well as a light coating in the buffer tube and on the buffer... I've not shot it yet, but charging by hand seems pretty much the same as before. I'll heat up one of my Glock slides and use it on it this weekend...

Don't really think of using it as an oil and a grease and use them that way. The paste and the liquid are basically exactly the same thing. I just use the liquid to put on a patch to run through the barrel, and use the paste to paint it everywhere else.

Also, think of it as cosmoline on military weapons or seasoning cast iron: it's meant so soak into the metal. So disassemble, paint it on everywhere, then stick it in a crockpot, under a hair dryer, in the oven (if you're single or want to be) or in a cardboard box on a nice hot day in the sun for several hours then let it cool. One or two treatments like this and it'll stay slick.

Well that stinks. I guess I wasted my money if that's the way it's meant to be used.

Another Frog Lube convert here. I picked some up this summer and used it on my Garand before doing some load development. Worked great, no issues in 27 rounds and the cleanup afterwards was quick and easy. I've got the liquid and the paste. I put the liquid on a cloth and rubbed all the metal and the wood (looks great on the wood), then put the paste everywhere I would have put TW25B before.

I also put it on my SIG P6 and took it hiking this past weekend - no problems with dirt/dust sticking to it and I was breaking trail at times.

Lastly, it's working fine in my AR as well. I put 20 rounds down range after shooting the Garand with no problems, no noticible wear on the BCG and another easy clean up.

still makes calls doesn't it?

what i'm saying is they didn't reinvent the wheel with this stuff.

The synthetic oil you used before this will last in a truck engine for easily 10,000 miles. If that same stuff won't work on a gun that 90%+ of us here shoot probably under 1000 rounds between each cleaning, then I can only assume something is wrong with the gun.

I'd like to see someone slap some frog lube on a problematic hi-point that has constant failures and see if the magical frog jizz makes it run 100% for a few hundred rounds.

If you have noticable wear after 20 rounds you have serious issues... just sayin.

I get that its good out of the gate, but nothing tells me tis going to be any better than whats always worked over the long term.

There used to be this micro or nano lube stuff that was all the rage, people were treating everything with it and remarking how "slick" it was. Never hear about it anymore.

I personally just use CLP, available almost everywhere, , works awesome, reasonably priced AND it has teflon particles which will "soak" into the metal pores over time etc.

Now I have been wanting to try the froglube since I see it at the gunshows here and there, but have just not ponied up for it yet. Maybe if it were available at fine stores everywhere it would be a more likely thing for me to pick up.

Not driving down the highway [ROFL1][ROFL1]

Check out the original post with a link to FL and how it came about.

Probably the biggest reason I bought was because Im a washout from BUD/s class 218

I wanted to be a SEAL bad, but not bad enough I guess and my swim buddy went on to make the Teams and always said I should have been with him.

Oh don't think you wasted your money by just using it like a normal lube, it works great that way. Figure this, your gun gets pretty darn hot when you fire it!

But after a treatment or two, then after a normal cleaning you should just be able to put a light coat on the moving parts and in the barrel and be good to go.

Kevin also turned me on to frog lube when he sold me my 6920. By the way Kevin is about the best person you could ever hope to deal with and his prices are good, but i digress. I got home lubed up my gun went out and put 300 rounds through it, some just as fast as I could pull the trigger, not one issue, came home and cleanup was beyond easy, stuff wiped right off, was gonna relube but didn't, took it out and ran another 300 rounds through it and again no problems. came home cleaned it up and it still had a lubed feel to it though i did relube the gun and cleaned it this time. I now use frog lube on everything i own. use a little liquid on the snake to run through the barrel. Stuff works, doesn't stain stuff if ya get some on your clothes and smells good. when your shooting it goes from a paste to a liquid then when things cool off it goes back into a paste. I can't say enough good things about frog lube or Kevin. [Beer]
