    It's the latest buzz in the gun maintenance world, f it works for you buy it.
    I'm an old #9 user, followed up with a little 5w-20 synthetic oil for lube.
    Each to their own.
    BVAC another ammo dealer. Good stuff.

    What makes it any diffrent than Hoppes 9 etc?? Any real backing to it being a better product and something I should look into? The price is a bit much but then again proceeds go to worthy causes.

    I looked into them a little while back as a source for training ammo. I found a lot of reports of their ammo causing problems (squib loads, popped primers, bullets that are unstable in flight, improperly labeled ammunition, rounds loaded with the wrong bullets, etc.). There were also a lot of comments about extremely poor customer service and questionable ethics. All this to say, I chose to avoid their product.

    A search on Lightfighter.net, M4Carbine.net, AR15.com and the CMP forums can provide more info.

    Regarding lube - If you're a guy who goes to the range and shoots 1-200 rounds in an afternoon, you won't see much difference buying something like Froglube (or my preference, Slip2000) over something cheaper. Where those products shine is when you're running a gun hard. Add a can and you'll really see a difference. They last a lot longer before burning off than CLP or similar.

    I agree with you when talking about performance. But it cleans your weapon so much better too. Just the fact that it works and is non-toxic sold me.
