Kinda like Perfume for guns! 
Many many oils have PTFE (Teflon) even when the carrier(solvent" has evaporated and the metal is "dry" the Teflon is there lubricating,
"She like to run wet" Just a bunch of buzz words
"Most experienced AR shooters run the gun wet."
What is that statement, cliche, based on?? Facts??
For the average range shooter, how many rounds are shot? Is it 3 round burst? Full auto?? Does the rifle run out of lube after 100 rounds, 500, 1000?? |
I don't claim to know the composition of Frog Lube but it would not surprise me to learn that the above statement is correct.
There have been a number of "high-tech" (properly read as "high dollar") specialized firearms lubricants marketed heavily in recent years, and some of those have been little more than canola oil, usually with colorants or fragrances added. Canola oil is produced from the seeds of the rape plant, widely cultivated in Canada; the marketing folks probably noted some market resistance to a product known as "rape oil" so the product name became "canola" (Canada oil). You probably have a quart bottle in your kitchen cabinet that cost about $2 retail, but the little 2-oz. bottles marketed as "super-duper whiz-bang firearms lubricant" at $5 or more ($80-plus per quart) still seem to be selling briskly to happy customers.
