I'm giving some thought to trying this. I know, I know, I'm late to the dance. But I have a concern that maybe you can help me with. I was taught to run my AR "wet" and have followed that practice for years. When I read the FL instructions and watch YT vids once the FL is applied and you wipe it down thats it?? I understand the stuff is slick but I just can't seem to get by what looks like a dry bolt. Am I missing something?
Thanks, SC

Froglube goes in the trashcan

Ive seen it jack up ar's, 1911's, ak's, 10/22's, you name it.


Get some slip2000, or synthetic motor oil

What problems were you having with your original wet lube technique?

This man... needs to be heard.

Slip2000  all day every day

I'm  a big fan or the original  clp

I have been using FL for a while now on all of my firearms and the only regret I have is not using it sooner.  I was apprehensive at first however, once you see how it works it will make sense.  FWIW I too also always ran my AR wet until I switched to FL and now I have no need too.  I will still at times use a drop or two on the bolt if I am going to be running a lot of rounds out of my AR. ETA spelling.  I hope this helps.

Yep.

Mobil 1 or original CLP.

Stay away from the snake oil.

True story.

What have you compared it to?


Literally everyone who shoots for a living recommends something else


Why would you use a lube that requires you to disassemble your firearm, completely wipe off every part, then gently heat up, then apply the solution, then wait? Wtf?


Compared to clp, rem oil, slip2k, motor oil, fireclean, tw25b, g96, and dozens of others that give you equal or superior performance, and doesn't have the side effect of turning your gun into a brick


Ive tried Froglube, and the only thing i don't understand about it is how people still buy that scam

Remember the MILITEC craze?

Ive heard about it, but otherwise no

Heat up the metal... apply.

Heat up the metal again and apply.

Then you should have a slick surface that will last under all types of extreme conditions.

I still have a couple of bottles laying around here somewhere.

Clean gun
heat up gun and parts
apply frog lube
allow to cool
wipe excess away

The metal expands when heated allowing the frog lube to penetrate the parts. The lube is literal in the metal now. So when the gun starts to function the lube is escaping on to the parts and lubricating. The problem is when people leave to much of the stuff on the gun and then sit it in the safe to be shot once a year.

This is my common sense theory I have developed on frog lube. People that dont like it seem to think its snake on and relay on mostly old methods. They tell stories of how it gums up guns. I am more of a visual man show me a picture of this. I guarantee a picture if it exists would show an improperly frog lubed gun as in a gun with way to much frog lube on it and further more it probably hasnt been shot in a year.

I dont know any of this as fact I dont even use frog lube I use Seal one which is very similar. I am just theorizing based on common sense, facts and the so called stories. Its very easy to come to this conclusion when you put what little information you have together.

To answer you original question though. Heat up the gun part and put frog lube on the it. allow it to cool and wipe it away. I like to leave a little thin layer of Seal one again its pretty much the same stuff. Now heat the part back up and feel it get slick again.

These "knuckle heads" claiming motor oil works are the worst. Yes motor oil does work and it works well if you keep re applying it every few magazines. I work on cars and I know how capable motor oil is. The thing is though all cars have an oil pump to cycle that oil from the pan up to the top of the motor to keep everything wet. Oil doesnt stick to parts, gravity takes hold and pulls it down so it runs off the parts. I am not saying motor oil doesnt work. I am just saying it doesnt hold on to the gun parts enough to maintain its effectiveness.

i threw the froglube away. if not applied properly it gums up bad.

M-Pro7 is my go too

If by "every couple of magazines" you mean "every 1000+ rounds" you are correct

Why on earth would i want to go through the trouble of properly applying Froglube when i can just put some motor oil or clp or slip 2000?

All I use now is Froglube, ive used slip, motor oil, mpro and others and i prefer froglube over them, except maybe Fireclean. applying froglube is just as much work as cleaning the rifle anyways so why not take the little bit of effort.   and it smells minty fresh.

+100 on this!

I have tried almost all of them in the last 40 years and M-Pro7 LPX is the best I have ever used.
