What did it smell like? ETA: easiest thing to do would be contact th manufacture and ask them what they ship their rifles with. But frog lube isn't that thick. It smelled just like the stuff in the froglube kit that I have in my gun room Like mint? |

The smell of frog lube is enough to keep me from ever using it. Shit smells like Bengay to me and every time I break a rifle open at work that has that crap in it I swear I look around to see if my dad or some other old codger is standing around. Most of the guys who are big on it seem to be the ones who don't want to maintain their rifles IMHO.

It was applied at the manufacturer. I had nothing to do with it other than cleaning it out of the rifle. What did it smell like? ETA: easiest thing to do would be contact th manufacture and ask them what they ship their rifles with. But frog lube isn't that thick. That is wheel bearing grease. Sure isnt frog lube. I use CLP, and it works fine for me. Wheel bearing grease? Sure looks like it in the pictures you posted. |

Funny thing, I lube my truck gun with either Rotella or marine grease. Neither has ever caused my rifle to look like any of these pics. I mostly shoot Tula/wolf, never clean it, just reapply lube as I see fit (rarely).
Normal range day is 250-500 rounds, easy, then it goes right back under the seat. Thrown in the mud, dropped in the creek, it really catches hell. If your rifle looks like that with that few rounds, I'd change lube

Lubed the shit outta it
 AR doesn't need lube in the chamber or on the locking lugs. |

AR doesn't need lube in the chamber or on the locking lugs. Just an extremely light coating on the bolt carrier where it contacts the upper, and a little grease in the right spots on the trigger and you're gtg. I don't know why this is so hard to understand. |

Did you apply the Frog Lube very sparingly on the barrel and wipe it down, to protect it against the elements? Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quoted: The rifle still functioned and the internals stayed lubed but I encountered some rust. PSA makes a good rifle but their finish on the barrels seems to be lacking compared to other manufacturers. Did you apply the Frog Lube very sparingly on the barrel and wipe it down, to protect it against the elements? Yes Sir I did. I'm going to duracoat the gun soon to remedy the surface rust problems. The elements down here are killer for any kind of metal. |

This is why I don't use froglube. In a brand new rifle on the shelf....

I used 3/4 of a "sample packet" for mine. I also didn't put it on the extractor, just the sides of the bolt. |

So you had a Frog Lube bukakke party inside your upper and lower receiver, shot a bunch of rounds, somehow put so much Frog Lube inside it that you now have a proper swamp and want to complain about your barrel rusting? Quote HistoryQuoted:

Not impressed with your "test".
Thanks for you input though. By the way, I didn't see a photo of the chamber. Just of the area in the barrel extension where the bolt lugs lock. |

Frog lube won't stop an AR bolt from going into battery. If the bolt is not locking something else is wrong. Frog lube isn't that thick or sluggish. It is actually pretty slick. ETA: and it wipes right off I'm thinking that's not frog lube but an anti corrosion grease used for shipping/storage. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Sorry, If I had more rounds to shoot I would, like I said this isn't for everyone just those who are looking to go with PSA or frog lube. |

Does it involve heating up the metal with a hairdryer so it becomes "porous" and "absorbs"?

People really need to learn how to apply frog lube..... Does it involve heating up the metal with a hairdryer so it becomes "porous" and "absorbs"?
I know you're trying to mock people here, and I know full well that metal can't "absorb" frog lube, but if you do the hair dryer thing it SEEMS like that's what's happening. The gun will feel dry to the touch when you're done, as you shoot a few rounds and the gun warms up you'll see that the moving parts and barrel are shiny and no longer dry. Kinda like the lube is seeping back out of the non-existent metal pores. I think the scientific explanation is that the initial heat evaporates solvents in the lube, raising the temperature at which it turns into a liquid a little above room temperature. Shoot the gun a bit and it turns back into a liquid. However, the metal pores thing is more easily understood by neckbeards than science and stuff. Edit: The picture of the malfunctioning gun IS NOT FROGLUBE. Frog Lube is green and not that thick. |
