| Anybody using this stuff? Anyone used it on a suppressor? Looks like it will work good. I ordered some but haven't used it yet. |

Looks good.
I've relegated the role of FrogLube to treating/cleaning the baffles of my Octane and Sparrow. I don't like how it can get into the internal working and jam up the gun so I've switched to fireclean for lubrication purposes. Ideally I'd like to send in the Sparrow and Octane both to get QPQ/Melonite treated but I'm not sure where to begin with going that route. |

Works for me in my guns so long as you season your gun correctly. Just wipe down to clean the carbon off.
I use it to clean the bore too. Someone posted use of silicone lube or certain silicone brake fluids to make it easier to clean your cans. Seasoning is important. It has to be clean, warm, then marinaded in the fluid to work. |
| Get some rubbing alcohol and clean everything off the BCG, CH and upper. Let it dry then lightly oil with Fireclean and clean off the rest of the carbon. Then re-oil and let sit overnight. This is what I did and it came out great with a nice sheen. I will reapply as needed. |

Slip 2000 EWL is, IMHO, still indicated in most firearms applications simply due to the larger sample size of that product in action with reputable folks.
That said, I use Fireclean for all my suppressed guns because it doesn't seem to dry out as quickly as the EWL, especially on more rigorous firing schedules. It also made it much easier for me to swap from 5.56 to 7.62 with one of my cans since the 5.56 mount is shorter in the can, leading to carbon buildup that precludes installation on a 7.62 mount (it is a YHM Phantom system). With the Fireclean, I just need to run a bore brush in there really quickly, the shit all falls out, and I mount it. |

Exactly what I do, works great, I also get my bore and muzzle devices, and the inside rough threads on my acc cans |

Went through the steps to season two items yesterday so I'll follow remaining steps after 24 hour soaking period is over. If it passes muster I'll try it on baffles next week perhaps.
Both items were cleaned before I started then wiped dry, then old lubricant stripped with rubbing alcohol then coated in fireclean to season for 24 hours. The fireclean didn't pick up anything new off the pistol but I was surprised with what it was getting off the inside of the AR upper receiver when I was applying it since it had already been cleaned then rubbing alcohol cleaned. I'll let you know how blowback is on the rifle. I didn't notice any with my previous lubricant but I am trying fireclean because the previous stuff burned off way too fast. |
