not even sure if that stuff really works. I haven't personally tried it but in reading reviews, it's about 50/50, which to me doesn't speak strongly. Certain products, like Kroil for instance, are rarely questioned, but there seems to be an equal amount of hype and disappointment for Frog Lube. I'd say if it sounds good to you, try it out, I seriously doubt it could "ruin" anything.

just curious what the consensus on using frog lube on a c&r rifle is here? seems like some people might feel it detracts from a c&r rifle because of how it permeates the metal, possibly.

why do you care what other people think about what you use to lube your rifle?

use whatever lube you want, I personally use CLP and motoroil and ball bearing grease

I suggest that you do some research and see what other folks think of it and then decide for yourself. Your Guns=Your Choice.

Personally I'll just stick to the traditional stuff, (reg gun oil) it has never let me down. No matter what you use, you just can't "fire and forget" and expect that stuff to last forever.

I use Frog Lube. Only thing I've used so really can't give an honest "It's the best" kind of answer

Honestly though, can you tell which lube is which just by looking at it?

I have used in on several C&Rs. It works fairly well. I haven't had any issues with it, nor do I really worry that it will attach itself to the gun more than any other lube. You can always clean it off later if you want. Personally I like it for several of my old shotguns. It seems to coat them pretty well, and keeps them from rusting well enough.

I think what the OP is referring to is does it detract from the value at all since the lube permeates the metal. Answer is no because even if someone was hysterical enough about a non period lube sitting in the metal, you can always melt Frog Lube out. Microlon, on the other hand, is a different story in that once it's in, it's in. That's why I still haven't opened up and used that stuff on any of my C&Rs since I was conned into buying it.

You'd have better luck with Cosmoline, C&R folks don't mind removing that.

Frog lube gummed up the works in my wife's .22 and I've stopped using it everywhere else. I tend to use Ballistol on the C&Rs, just seems right for some reason.

Has anyone actually proven that FL permeates the metal, or are we just supposed to believe what someone wrote on the label???

[Discogodfather]

There was a thread a few months ago that said use no lube at all, lol. Oil wars and big opinions will never end.

It probably does to some extent, but I believe (I have not tested this) that most other oils would do the same if you heated up the metal. I.e, like seasoning a cast iron pan. You can use any old oil, just heat up the pan and rub it in.

I've given up on froglube but still have some on hand. One of these days I should do a heating comparison.

Read the thread posted and haven't ever had the problems that other people had

[durandal]

thanks for the response guys. ill keep away from the FL and stick to the gold old CLP.

Froglube IS a CLP. if you want to be period appropriate use oil and grease.

I have on all of my C&R rifles. People who have problems with it are probably doing it wrong and just leaving it on there. Try it, it's fine. I also use Hoppe's #9 and many others. It's all the same **** but I like the fact Froglube smells good and can be done in the home without stinking it up, also non-toxic.
