ditching froglube.. need help guys

[REM 3200]

If your frog is starting to smell funny you can use
warm water and Dawn Dishwashing Liquid
to give him a bath. Rinse well, pat his little behind dry
with a soft towel. Deodorant is optional.

You will have to re-lube him with something though.

Sorry - old skool here.

Hoppe's #9
Outer's Gun Oil
That tiny tube of Gunslick black moly lube for places that need it instead of oil.

Been good enough for 50 years !

LSA (lubricant, small arms) is available on line-it is mil-surplus.

I see I am not the only one that uses this product that has a proven track record.

LSA MIL-L-46000B, lubricating oil, semi-fluid.

A gun is suppose to smell like a gun, not like a mint julep.

Clean with solvent...

.......lube with gun oil.

Clean with solvent, treat with Teflon slip powder coat, never oil again.

When using Frog Lube- they tell you on the stuff, less is more. Once you slather it on, take 99% of it back off.
I have found FL makes slides on heavy framed pistols glide absolutely like butter. But it holds gunk, so it's not really ideal for firing pin applications, and small springs and detents are not the best place for it.

In the end, I use whatever oil is around. I clean with Hoppes, and I oil with Mobil, Slip, Remoil, 3 in 1, Tetra oil, and whatever I have at the moment. But yeah, on the glides on a 1911...... FL is pretty darn hard to beat.

That would be cool, but not all of us have the electrostatic equipment necessary to do a good job.

Been using Tetragun for years. Good stuff.

Had a sales guy doctor my gun with Froglube. I was impressed.

Shot a few hundred rounds without a hitch. Did not clean the gun. Shot another few hundred rounds the next weekend. No problems. When I cleaned the gun later that day, it was barely dirty.

But it only works well IF you follow the directions.

Will I buy it? No. Too many steps involved. Too expensive. And what I use now has been working just fine.

A quart of Mobil 1 synthetic will last several lifetimes.

As they say, those who shoot, should reload.
Those who reload ,should cast.
and those who cast really need coating
