I found this video by Shooter's Choice regarding their FP-10 oil. can some one speak on it's validity? Is this a proper test for what we do? I have used the product before and had no problems with it. Thinking about going back. Looking for an analytical break down.

FP-10 is great stuff! I've been using it for years and have never found it wanting for lubricity. It has a more natural (sweet?) smell which I like on my hunting rigs too. Konger |

The man who designed FP-10 George Fennell (SP) has moved on to his new company "Steelshield". His new product Weaponshield is significantly better than FP-10. Also, the people who took over the FP-10 production have supposedly changed the formula.
By my tests Weaponshield has better staying power and is much better as a corrosion protectant. It is synthetic based and works very well. |

Weapon Shield does in fact stay put longer on the parts and its most likely due to the fact it has a slightly heavier viscosity...also does not evaporate off the parts in use or storage nearly as fast which is probably due to being a full synthetic.Its impressed me enough to prefer it. The Weapon Shield Grease is also a excellent performer....outstanding for a heavy use pistol slide lube. |

stuff worked well - we used it for about 5 years.....draw back - stinky and it needs to be shaken - not idea for users that shoot once a year and treat their guns like a ham sandwich.
we switched to Slip 2000 EWL due to the oder factor and feedback from professional users. Have been happy with our decision. Stats - 1500 shooters weapons - Glock 22, Rem 870, AR-15's. Mark |

Yup, Weaponshield is what I use for lube too - best I have found. Apparently unlike FP, it actually smells nice and is supposed to be non-toxic. I've never had my asthmatic wife complain about it, where breakfree would send her to the hospital if I used it indoors.
Fluid film works better for protection on external surfaces, and I prefer Gunzilla as a cleaner. |

I've heard good things about it and also heard a rumor that the otis bulk (for price) clp jugs are also FP10 I use EWL though so :dunno: Does the EWL run off the places you put it on? no more than any other oil/lube.....not a grease/paste but a fluid....does a great job though. Mark |

Went shooting last night. I have a DD v5 upper. I shot 100 rounds of Win White box 55 grain 5.56. This is a new upper and I want to break it in nice. Was looking for a good lube to stay put. I wiped the BCG with a patch soaked with FP-10. When I got to the range , I dropped a few more drops on the wear spots. The BGC was pretty wet. Probably too wet. But I want allot of coverage for the break-in. I ripped through the first 50 pretty quick. The next 50 went in 10's with the rifle down in between to cool off.
After the 100 rounds, the BCG was still nice and wet. http://i1147.photobucket.com/albums/o555/mjc146/2012-08-28_23-56-40_133.jpg The FP-10 held on. The oil was dirty, but still there. I let the gun cool for 5-10 minutes and cracked it open and pulled the BCG out. http://i1147.photobucket.com/albums/o555/mjc146/2012-08-28_23-59-40_420.jpg Still wet and a little warm. Not super hot, or scalding. Oddly enough, the Bolt was wet "north" of the wear ring. Dry below it. Yet, no massive carbon build up on the bolt tail. http://i1147.photobucket.com/albums/o555/mjc146/2012-08-29_00-01-30_992.jpg I found a dirty t shirt and wiped the dirty oil off, no problem. No scraping, no brush. The grime came off really easy. I was very impressed. Brushed on a new coat of FP-10 and was ready to go. |
