For years and years, I have used Break Free CLP and RIG (Rust Inhib Grease). I recently decided to try this new Frog Lube based on glowing reports. Well, if didn't work out well for me. For the most part, revolvers functioned fine. Semi-Autos were a different story. When the weather turned cold, the Frog Lube turned to a very sticky substance. The slides were very slow and manys times did not cycle at all. Of course, I am going back to my old reliable Break Free and RIG. Since we all use oil and grease on our guns, thought I would pass on my recent experience.

I'm still lost as to why people insist on using gimmick snake oils. CLP, motor oil, ATF, bearing grease, cosomoline, brake cleaner (acetone), seafoam... they all work. Only thing missing, is a copper fouling solvent.
Gun oil, beyond CLP, is a joke IMO.
What do I use to clean my guns? Clp and occasionally seafoam. Bore brush and eyelet with cotton patches, or a bore snake. AP brush and some q tips.
What lubes them? Marine grease or clp.
Do they work? Yes.Comment

I've read way too many negative things about that stuff to even consider trying it. Applying a lube, grease or CLP should be a simple process. Way too many other reputable products that have been around for a long time for me too waste my time with gimmicks.Last edited by Dimitri A.; 01-23-2016, 5:31 PM.Comment

Not the first person with problems, and you won't be the last.
It's too bad, as I liked the stuff, smelled nice. But performance was sub par.Comment

used it on a mossberg 930. worked ok. then took it out during rain and cold about 46 F and heavy rain. got the nastiest jams from my bolt release button and fte... smells good but im just going to stick to my 5 year old tube of grease that was only 4 bucks to be honest lolComment

Still waiting on the fanboys to say in their experience, it works perfectly. Therefore there is no problem with it.
But unable to explain why the solution exists if there isn't a problem with CLP et al.
But you can drink it, and lube a roller coaster.Originally posted by tony270Originally posted by repubconservOriginally posted by el chivoXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXOriginally posted by pjsig

Plenty of military approved CLP's out there to choose from too that have been tried and tested:
Aprolube
G96
Quicken tactical diamond
Royco 634E
Sent CLP (Otis)
Though no longer on the approved list, I still typically use Brakefree, and have never had issues.Last edited by Dimitri A.; 01-23-2016, 2:07 PM.Comment

Waiting for: you have to cook it up at 500 degrees, melt it into the metal pores, deep scrub it into the metal, etc.....Comment

Seems to me froglube is a solution to a problem that does not exist.
Thanks for sharing, OP.
