The rules are clear. Just ask me in an IM to test some.
Sorry I couldn't help it. Truthfully though, I don't think it's a violation of the COC unless you are selling stuff as a vendor without becoming an industry partner. But I may be wrong. |

I'm not looking to sell it here yet. I'm looking to get my product into members hands so I can get some feed back about it. Local users love it and the folks who volunteered on several Facebook groups have nothing but good things to say about it. So 30 brave soles are need for free lube if they are willing to do a write up about it for me. Good or bad I want to know what you think!! Message me your mailing address and which lube you would like to try and I'll get it on the way. Chilly Dog works fantastic in your AR in severe cold conditions, -15 and below. It also works as a general lube/cleaner in hand guns and shot guns, and bolt guns but is a bit on the thin side above freezing inside your AR. Hot Dog is a thicker version that works well as a general lube/cleaner above freezing and works fantastic inside an AR. Both versions repel moisture and soften/dissolve carbon for easy clean up.

So far I really like it. Good Lubricity, when rubbing between my fingers. And when trying to rinse off under the sink, it doesn't wash off. I had to use dawn dish soap to cut it.
I didn't notice any difference in my AR or Glock's funciton but again, time will tell, after some more use. I'd say it's a solid product for sure. I wouldn't say revolutionary, but a solid great product so far. Thanks for the sample, will be ordering some soon.

Thanks for your input!! There's nothing magical in the bottles, no unicorn piss! Originaly I was looking for a product that didn't turn into a gel when out in the cold, -15 and colder, and was also a at combating carbon buildup. Nothing I found locally could do what I wanted and so off we went to make something that would!

So I messaged the Kaptin about the lube I received for testing, and he asked if I'd be willing to post what I sent here, which I gladly am:
Alright, I'm going to be honest with you. This is the best lube I've ever used. Period. Full stop. End sentence. This stuff is good, unbelievably so. I haven't even put that many rounds through it yet, it even just with it on the guns before firing, it was the smoothest they've ever felt. After firing probably a out 6-8 mags of brown bear through my AR, it still felt as smooth as when it was clean. Not to mention, cleanup seemed a but easier than normal. My 9mm running a mixed box of S&B, white box, and nasty old unknowns was the same. Stupidly smooth before and after firing, with easier cleanup. From what I can tell just from running it initially, this stuff is not only well lasting just sitting on my HD rifle (beats CLP by a mile for sure), it's the slickest lube I've found yet, and seems to help keep down the carbon fouling. Which is abnormal for me, because when people say "run your gun wet" I bring the whole fire department and hose it, making cleanup a nice mess. I can get hoppes for $3 bottle before my 20% employee discount. If you sold this stuff for $18 a bottle + S&H I would still buy it, without question. Once I finish running through all my ammo and running the guns with no cleanings for a bit longer, I'll post a full review of it if you'd like and hopefully get orders coming in to you, but right now you're set up for a full 10/10 and at least one guy that will be buying it so long as you're making it. But the best part about this stuff? It came with stickers. I freaking love stickers, especially when they allow me to happily display and advertise for a product I love. |

Are any of you testers running a suppressor? I have only one customer that uses Hot Dog with his supressor and he loves it. He uses it on the treads of the end caps for easier disassembly as well as inside the firearms. Any input to add??

Got to shoot a little bit yesterday. Only used it on an AR and my shield.
That stuff is slick! Got some on my fingers, and it was a slip-n-slide. The solvent in it wanted to soften the paint on my shotgun (applied but didn't get to shoot). Didn't have any stoppages, guns felt normal. Cleaning was better than most oils, as it didn't get flung around too much (hot dog). It did keep all the carbon soft, even after 2 back to back mag dumps, and a third in the morning. It migrated enough to keep the junk on the bolt tail soft, but not leak out of the rifle. As an oil I'm pleased with it and would purchase it (if priced well) over typical oils. Still not going to switch away from my regular grease though. However when it gets cold again, the chilly dog will most likely out perform grease if only because it's an oil. |

My 590. Shotgun has nothing to do with it. About 3 year old rustoleum.
Didn't take it off, but saw some color on the rag. Usually much less with clp and nothing with grease. |

Haven't run em through the ringer yet though. So far I like it. Will write up some more after I get a break from moving 3 houses and remodeling the new one. Coyotes hunt coming up soon if I can enter,it'll get passed around like a bottle of crown Thanks for letting me try it. I'd buy some more from the little testing I've done. |

You can imagine it this way (hot dog)... clp is like 10-30 with solvent, this stuff is like 15-40 with less, but more powerful solvent. ETA: it seemed to really want to stay put as far as an oil goes, and keep carbon suspended very well. Despite that it doesn't get flung all over and make a mess, it migrates well enough to keep the parts coated. Very good formula IMO, OP did a great job.

Killed around 200 prairie dogs yesterday. 250-300 rounds through the old R-15. Soaked the bolt and bolt carrier in Hot Dog wile my family sat down to eat dinner. An hour later the carbon wiped off the tail end of the bolt and a Q-Tip cleaned up the inside of the carrier. Clean up time was cut way down!! Get out and put some rounds down range!!

I'm waiting for an opportunity to test the thicker stuff you sent me. Smells like gear oil (fucking nasty), but if it works, I won't complain.

The experimental mix has additives very similar to hypoid gear oil. It was a struggle to keep the viscosity where I wanted it and still have the carbon cleaning qualities.

Figured that you used similar thickeners (whatever chemicals they are). Seems like a decent way to keep the solvent content up while still retaining viscosity.

A little update...
I had used the extra heavy experimental stuff that smells like gear oil to shoot with on a couple guns. No problem, worked as expected. I put my typical grease back on all the guns used, except my EDC, shield 9mm. I cleaned and relubed with the secret sauce then carried her all week as normal. Obviously it's summer and hot as balls here in SW Ohio. I sweat through my clothes most days. The black arch holster I have for the shield is supposed to have a plastic membrane to prevent sweat through, and it does. Still ended up with rust on the shield. It appears that the oil had migrated (no surprise, it's oil) and left it unprotected. The rust was mostly on the barrel, where the slide ever so gently contacts during cycling. Which of course it had been cycled a few times to work the lube around, function check, and then chamber a round for carry. I haven't had this problem with my choice of grease before nor after. Nor on my glock even after exposure to salt/brackish water (got soaked at seaworld and let it sit to see how well it would protect). I will have to make it clear that this still out performs generic USGI CLP. That will run off in a couple days, OP's stuff made it a week. |

Thanks for the update Fritz. After your note about using grease I am working on a light weight grease to try.

In my case I think the grease would work much better for me and my taste.
However I think it defeats your original intention. When it gets cold I'll be excited to try the chilly dog. Only thing I can see wrong with it is that it will run as with any oil. I'm sure it will otherwise be great. Thicker product would likely still be good on a carry gun, as it will likely be body temperature if carried tight to the body. |

This weekend I noted the thick formula stayed put very well on surfaces. It was at least 85*, full sun, firing my RAR .22 as fast as possible. The stuff didn't run or wick away. Clp usually wants to migrate on me in that scenario. Even after 2 hours of sitting in the open cell foam of the case, and the days activities, it still had a nice oily sheen.
It also kept the powder fouling suspended well. Easy to clean out. |

Late reply but better than never, I have now ran the thinner stuff for over 1500 rounds on my SBR and another 1k on my EDC. I have had 0 issues and am sold on this lube. It is slick as snot and stays put. Cleanup was about the same as other CLPs for me but I tend not to try hard and move on to carbon cleaners pretty quick.
I have split my samples up and gave them out to a few co workers. Looks like I need to get my hands on more soon! |

I haven't ran in an ar15 yet. Just haven't gotten out to shoot it yet. Soon.
However, my RAR 22 was giving me consistent FTF/light strikes in the cold the past couple times out. Switched from your heavy stuff, to clp and no luck, still went click instead of bang. Cleaned it up and put Chilly Dog in there. Shot about 150 rounds with it yesterday and they all went bang. Even the box that I dropped from 5 feet onto concrete! Still cleans up plenty easy. I'm happy as can be. In the coming weeks I'll be using the thicker stuff indoors-suppressed, and the chilly dog outdoors-unsuppressed. |

Thank you FritzTKatt!! With it being -10 to -20 the last couple of weeks I have had to talk people into using Chilly Dog exclusively. I had a gentleman with a Ruger M77 in 22-250 that was having light strikes. We pulled the bolt apart, cleaned, lubricated and resembled with Chilly Dog. No problems since!! Continue to get out and enjoy nature in all her glory!!

Pretty much, the clp and hot dog thickened up too much in 15*-0*. Cleaned the bolt (really wasn't dirty) and put in fresh chilly dog. That firing pin moves with some intensity again.
I think the hot dog indoors-suppressed will do ok, and can't forsee an issue at all with the chilly dog outside-unsupressed. The indoors will be a test of the hot dog's ability to suspend gunk and remain lubrous. I don't think temperature will play much. If it gets back down to zero when I do get outside with the ar15, it will definitely test the cold performance. |
