If you drop it straight into boiling water it will jump right out. You have to start it in cold water and slowly increase the heat. |

Been using Breakfree CLP since 1982, when I was issued my first rifle, an M16A1. Still works great for me.  This here, but it was 1981 for me. |

I have been switching between two products. Rand CLP and Stihl Ultra synthetic two-stroke oil. When I run out of Rand I'll just use the Stihl. It is a full synthetic and is designed to work in a combustion chamber. I actually think that the bolt tail and bolt carrier bore stay cleaner when I use the Stihl Ultra. I have some of that. Is it better than mobile 1? I haven't used Mobil 1, even though that is what is in my truck. I believe the Stihl Ultra to be a better choice because it was formulated to help keep the top end/combustion chamber clean in two-stroke and the Stihl 4-mix engines. I see a similarity of conditions in the BCG of the AR platform. I know the insides of my saws stay much cleaner since I switched to Ultra. |

Gummed up the striker channel in my wife's Nano rendering it inoperable. That little slide was a bitch to get off with my big meat hooks. I assume it gummed up inside my Mossberg 500's bolt.

I had with an AR that I needed to sight in with a new carry handle after sitting the safe for months. Worked fine. Cleaned it right there at the range with no issues. The gun was hot, wiped it down, did a little touch ups and back in the safe. It doesn't feel gummy or sticky but none pooled in any areas and cool. I think some people are greasing their guns like some sort of small engine. A little in the right spots and a general wipe down is fine for the AR. You can get the same problem with too much lithium grease. |

Five years ago, after reading about it on the Internet, I bought a quart of Mobil 1 to see how it worked as gun lube.
Still working on that same quart, and I've used nothing else. I use it on all my pistols and rifles every time I clean them. I filled several squeeze bottles and keep one in my range bag, one in each rifle case, and one in the buttstock of my 20" BCM. Works like a charm and CHEAP. I've spent $6 on gun oil for half a decade. I might not have to buy gun oil again until 2020. |

There is the possibility that over lubing an AR can exist (to an extent). ARs don't chug oil. They can, but I see no benefit in dumping a quart of 5W30 as opposed to a light lubing and sheen coat on the parts which you can do with any lube. Look at the Box of Truth and how O_P cleans/lubes an AR. Nothing excessive, nothing wet. Hit the key spots, leave a light coating, and go shooting. The only reason I heat up the guns for the FL is to get the excess off. No magic metal pores or alchemy going on. Just keeping it simple. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Heat up the gun, apply, excess comes off and wipe with a microfiber clothe. Leaves a nice sheen. While it can pool up in the corners, I have no idea how you all are getting these horrendous issues. Have you applied it and left it in the safe for 3 months and then tried to shoot it? I have a rifle in the back of my vehicle, been there for two years, one application of frog lube in those two years it has seen extreme highs and temps as low as -30, the rifle always works Well something is different.

I am pretty sure I let it soak in before wiping it off and likely let it cool, so more stayed on. I was thinking it needed to be warm to put on, not to take off. |

I use CLP for cleaning, cleaning LPKs, light lubing, everywhere, etc. Great stuff
I use Slip200EWL for bolts/actions/heavy lubing I'm playing with Fireclean and like it so far Haven't tried Mobil1 on my guns but it works great in my cars! Froglube is mint flavored crisco |
