Yep, after it happened to me I did some research, and there are one or two guys out there who ran extended period tests and noticed the same thing.  

It didn't so much affect the cycling of the BCG for me (probably because I wasn't dealing with cold weather), but my FCG was gummed up something nasty.  I thought my Geissele SSA had somehow gotten fucked up before I realized what the issue was.

Had to detail strip the entire lower and flush the receiver extension out with denatured alcohol to get rid of all the gunk.  

All metals are in fact porous, and heating them will cause them to expand, albeit very minutely.

I still didn't understand the having to heat the parts portion.  Slather the shit on and the next time you fire the weapon, the BCG will get hotter than you could ever get it with a hairdryer.  

Oh well, there were other unintended complications that I found with the Frog Lube, aside from having to heat the parts up.

First bottle of liquid frog lube I got clumped up like cottage cheese. They replaced it with a bottle that also clumped, just not as bad. On a gun i cleaned and lubed regularly with the FL paste the bbl and slide both rusted.

Plus the deceptive marketing. Was it really found in a old cannon? Was it really invented by SEALs? or is it just rebranded roller coaster track lube dyed green?

Plus the lack of information on what its made from...

 










 

Same issues here. Bad experiences.

 

I like it, still testing though.

Yep, having lived there for the first 22 years of my life, I know all too well how frigid it gets up there.  I was up near the Cleveland area in December and I had apparently forget how cold it gets.  Fuck that shit sucked.  

IIRC, it is re-branded deli slicer lube.  From what I have gathered, they didn't make any changes to it at all.  That's why it's minty and safe for consumption.  

CLP if its good enough for the .mil good enough for me

This mirrors my experience almost entirely. I had to clean some parts off and re-lube it with synthetic engine oil.

Odd noob question, but is it possible that the Froglube could have damaged my guns at all?

Fire Clean for me.

I highly doubt it damaged anything even slightly.  I wouldn't worry about it.

Sounds like we had similar experiences.  I changed my mind about FL last month.  I went shooting on a sunny, mid 40 degree day and it did not go well.

It didn't entirely stop my BCG, but cycling was noticeable slower and ejection was obviously suffering.  Brass would just dribble out of the port and drop straight down.  Once or twice per mag the BCG would fail to strip the next round and I got to practice my malfunction clearing.  This was on an otherwise 100% (until now) reliable AR.  After 4 mags I said forget it, and brought out another AR.  Same story.  Then I brought out a 590A1.  I loaded that up, aimed, and "click".  That happened 5 more times before I got my first bang and then it was about 50/50 malfunctions after that.  I left the range pretty upset by the whole experience and intent on fixing the issue.

When I got home I pulled the trigger housing out of the 590 and didn't see anything obviously wrong.  Suspecting that old FL was to blame I got out my trusty heat gun and went to work.  Ultimately I was able to extract exactly one drop of FL from the trigger group and one from the firing pin channel.  Brake cleaner took care of the rest.  Keep in mind that I had never intentionally applied frog lube to either area.  It just sort of found its way there over time and got sticky.

At this point I was ready to reassemble so I grabbed my bottle of FL out of the garage.  It was frozen solid at just over 40 degrees and I couldn't have re-lubed with it if my life had depended on it.  That's when I decided that FL wasn't for me.  I detail stripped and cleaned the rest of my guns with alcohol over a three day period.  What a royal PITA to remove old FL!  I've switched to Fireclean at this point due to the cold weather properties others have reported.  I hope it works better in the long run, but given my experience with FL I'll wait a year before I make any determination.

I think under those circumstances (handguns, ultrasonic cleaning, and warm temps) you'll be good to go.  You'll easily be able to get the old FL out before you apply the new.  Given what I know now I'd be much more careful to completely strip old FL out of the gun before re-lubing.  That's probably the key.

I may not have given FL enough time to change my mind, but I've had similar experiences as related by others here, and gave up on it. I ran SLIP for years, but I am almost one full year into testing fireclean, and I am liking fireclean the best so far.

I'm using FL because I have it. Prob will switch up to something else when it's gone. Getting real tired of my guns melting, rusting and generally not working with FL.

Minty fresh guns!

Love FL.

People still buy 4 oz bottles of "wonder" lube for $20...

You would think after all these years.. people would figure out that there is no magic lube.

I use frog lube on my CCW's

frog lube does not collect dust, and those guns get a lot of attention and care.

i tried it on my AR's and P90...

still undecided.

I think it's great for CCW pistols, because it is nontoxic and doesnt collect dust. those are important things to consider for a gun that will be pressed up against you all day every day

I personally use weapon shield.  I think it is the best stuff that I have used, but everyone is different.  Plus its made locally here.

Interesting.

I shot last week in the cold, maybe 35 degrees.

One of the ARs started malfunctioning almost every other round. Double feeds, 2 round tips stuck in the chamber.

The BCG and barrel extention was full of sticky shit.

I think it was the cold,  frog lube and the russian steel ammo combining to get dirty and sticky and the AR stopped running.

Going to go back to mobile 1

How long have you been using the Frog Lube on that specific AR?  It seems the more it sits and builds up, even with cleanings in between, the better chance it has of decomposing and becoming a sticky residue.

Using FL since last spring.

I may not have cleaned it after shooting it a few times with wolf steel cased, I don't remember.

The barrel extension looked like someone had dipped it in grease. It was all gummed up.

I cant get past the smell. Slip 2000 EWL it is.  I may try some fireclean though
