Quote History Quoted:
I'd heard that with Frog Lube, one needed to warm the metal and massage the lube into the metal to work correctly. Also heard that it gums up over time.
Not seen any reviews about Grizzly Grease needing to have the metal warmed to absorb product, nor any mention of gumming up over time, but I'm still reading reviews about the product and nothing I'm seeing is anybody mentioning anything about Frog Lube having the MIL-PRF 6340E standard for professional or military usage. If FL has it, then it could be same with a different brand name. If FL doesn't, then it really is different.
Please, elaborate on whether it is same as Frog Lube or different. I'm still doing research on the many different grease products out there.

I've used Froglube exclusively for a year. It worked great and I loved it at first. Eventually the gumming issue came into play and I found out it completely locked my rifle out on ones that I don't shoot as often. Guns that I shoot often worked really well.
You don't need to "heat" the gun for froglube to work. The idea is you leave it on the gun for a little while, then you come back and wipe it completely off and you're good to go. It works really, really well if you shoot all the time and clean it all the time.
Grizzly Grease is based on plant material, the same as froglube. Matter of fact, I believe they're both at the same location. Like Froglube, Fireclean, Militec, and any other lube of similar where you have to "absorb" then wipe off, they all gum up after time. Nearly every off product I've used seems to have flaws. Froglube is definitely not used by the military. Fireclean "success stories" all center around some belt fed machine guns that shot for days on end with 1000s of rounds and somehow everything just wiped off. It's the same story repeated by folks across boards, and even strangely they all seems to have first post and it's about the infamous belt fed machine gun that they shot all day. They also have videos where they wipe carbon off, but you can do that with any firearm and they never show up close shots of areas where the carbon actually sticks (boat tail, inside carrier group, barrel, etc). Just ridiculous stories like that should cast doubts.
I used Breakfree, motor oil, and automotive grease. I'd go back to it in a heartbeat, but I found Milcomm products and they work just as well as the automotive stuff/breakfree, but I feel safer about it. I've been using Milcomm products for years, and absolutely love it and would recommend it to anyone. Breakfree, G96, and milcomm tw25b grease are currently used by the military, just for your information though tw25b is more of a heavy gun grease.
