    If you put used/invented by SF/SEAL on a package, it will sell regardless what it is. Martial arts instructors pre-Gracie/Matt Larsen and MACP used this as a selling point for their services. We tried to put a stop to it but it just wouldn't die. One guy takes a seminar attended by a few group or team guys and they would claim they are the preferred trainers of the Green Berets and Navy SEALs.

      You've got it...my point exactly.

      Thank you for your service!

        FL worked well enough for me, but have switched back to "normal lubes".
        M-Pro7 for my CLP and Mil Comm TW25b for the lube.

          In addition, you seem not too trusting of a product INVENTED BY A NAVY SEAL...at least one who figured a way to buy TrackLube in 50 gallon drums and repackage it in tiny containers for profit...

          Moreover, you need to trust the fact that the stuff works, even though there's never been quantitative test data provided by the NAVY SEAL.
          Finally some truth. I researched it awhile back, and it is...TRACKLUBE. You can buy it by the 50 gallon too if you desire.

            More armed citizens = Quicker response times, less victims.

              Ah another FL thread. You are correct sir. FL is also the same as Ox-yoke wonder lube, Bore butter, young country 103, Thompson natural lube, and a few others. It's an industry standard formula used where petrochemicals are not allowed. I paid a lab for wear testing and posted the results here awhile ago. The thread got pretty nasty and I think they deleted it. lol
              I was accused of working for some other competitive lube company and hammered for not posting the name of the company at the time, but it's been long enough... The company was Tomlin Scientific in Buena Park. They were not impressed.

                Froglube is absolutely terrible. I only use ballistol and slip 2000 ewl on my guns. Both are great products and work wonderfully.

                          It's all I use, no problems with it. Smells good and is non toxic. I use their cleaner and oil for all my firearms. Although I do use the TW25B grease for where metal contacts metal like handgun slides.

                            The vendetta some of you have against Froglube is laughable. Why so passionate?

                              Used FL now for a few years, never had a single problem. Its a great, safe lube.

                                Vendetta against it? Wow, you went full victim. Never go full victim.

                                It's a product in search of a problem to me. I'e been using a combo of Hoppes products, light machine oil and later clp, and white lithium grease for the Garand and M1a for a LOOOOONG time. Zero issues, zero rust, zero actions locking up because I "used it wrong".

                                I laughed at the latest and greatest, bestest super duper frog lube cult that sprang up. Interesting to see disciples of frog lube react to heresy the way the church of Scientology does...
