I did a search but didn't see anything other than an EE thread for it, so sorry if it's a dupe or I missed another thread about it. Anyone ever heard of it and/or used it? I ran into a Youtube video off another website. I ordered some from Amazon today and it'll be here tomorrow just wanted to hear some opinions/experiences with it. |

Quoted: did you do a google search for it i found videos and reviews doing that and have heard nothing but great things about it which is why i also ordered some yesterday from amazon. Yeah I did. Seems like the first treatment(coating?) is a little intensive. I zoned out watching one of the videos and after it was over a 20 minute video. I looking forward to seeing how it works out. |

I use it. Both the paste and liquid.
The initial heating/coating is totally worth doing. I completely disassemble my guns, and use my HF ultrasonic cleaner filled with 91% alcohol to remove all the previous oil/ crud. Next, I use a heat gun and heat up the part, as well as the top layer of the paste in the container. I apply the FL with an acid brush to the entire part. I let the part cool, and sometimes I'll heat it again for good measure. I reassemble the parts with the coating still on, sometimes I wipe off the excess, it just depends on which part I'm coating. Whichever way you choose, both will leave a coating on the gun, just not wiping it will leave it thicker. The coated parts are slick either way. The stuff is the bomb. My guns clean up with a microfiber cloth. ( I do clean them after every time I shoot them, just so you know). I worry less about rust. I recently took one of my guns out in the rain, and the water would completely bead up and roll right off. Lubricity is great, because the paste will stay where you put it. It may not be quite on par with Mobil 1 synthetic, but it still works phenomenally. I've even noticed that my guns accumulate less dust, it's kind of crazy... Minty F*#@^&$ Fresh! I really like it thus far... $0.02... |

I really like it thus far... $0.02... I used it for the first time yesterday. It wasn't as intensive as the video I watched made it out to be. I didn't have a heat gun or hair dryer so I just disassembled and sat the pieces in a food dehydrator that I use for brass. I used the paste for my pistols and for the bolt carrier on my acr. I left a good coating on the bolt carrier and rails of the pistols. I used the liquid on the acr barrel and just wiped away the excess. I haven't gotten around to shooting yet, might this weekend then I can see if it make cleaning any easier(not that it's hard to begin with). One thing I like is that while cleaning it with the lube I didn't have to scrub the dirty oil off my hands. |

We have a guy with a crockpot full of the paste just turn that SOB on drop in your disassembled parts in a screen tray and they get really hot in the solution. Pull them out after some time and wipe them down. Easiest solution of your doing lots of guns and parts. I love the stuff and it smells minty too.
I've treated my Sig Elite, 2 Springfield XDs, Remington 870, and LWRC M6A3. I'm in a humid environment, we get a lot of rain, and I run a lot of rounds through my duty guns. I can say that I've found a better CLPproduct and I have not had the rust problem with the 870 or the Sig Sights anymore since changing to it. It does perform as advertised |

I've been using it for about 3 months. It's incredible. I use it on all of my firearms now. It really worked the best on my my 1911's. I heated up the barrels slightly and coated them with it when I first got it. Carbon just wipes away when cleaning.
Since leaving the Marine Corps I always thought regular CLP was good enough. In the past year I started doing some test with other "miracle products" Used INOX for a while. Since I've switched to Frog Lube, I haven't had a single issue, FTE, Stovepipe, nothing, even after firiing a couple hundred rounds out of each of my 1911's, they cycled like they were clean. |
Thanks for the link KAC-SR-25_EMCARBINE. I googled that one as well. I can't seem to find anythign concrete out there by way of documentation though. I'm waiting for the owner of FrogLube to respond to an e-mail. If I hear anything, I'll post it up. So far, I like the stuff. It doesn't eat the numbers off the bezel of my watch either..... I wish I could remember the stuff that we used when I was a young buck stationed up in Alaska. We either used that stuff or went dry. -20 - -50 F is a bitch.......
