frog lube?

[scottd1975]

Who uses it on there weapons?

 

[MPDC]

I do. Really great stuff. Does everything CLP does but isn't toxic and smells good too.

Use a hair dryer or heat gun to "season" bbl.s and slides on semi auto pistols. Use it on your AR while the bbl. is still faily hot after shooting and forget about rust. Cleans very well and the paste type is like grease on slides and trigger contact points.

Love this stuff!

Just started with it. Next week, we will run a course, and it will get a full workout.
FWIW, it makes my S&W 9504 feel retarded smooth....

I had my doubts about the stuff...just another lube. I bought some paste and some liquid and started putting it on everything I could think of (ARs, pistols, shotguns) and I started to love it right away. It stays put, and doesn't evaporate. It will make AR bolts and carriers feel cartoonishly smooth. I love the smell...I even love the taste (not recommended). It just plain works.

Now...having said that...this stuff is apparently designed to hold onto the carbon and nastiness that happens while shooting. Here is a pic of my M&P9 after 500 rounds of Wolf.

It looks absolutely terrible, right? Like maybe 2,000 rounds? BUT...it feels smooth as hell. It does NOT feel like it looks.

I love this green poo.

From the research I have done...froglube is pretty much the same as a product called "tracklube" that they use in the rollercoaster industry (lubing tracks, i guess). Someone had the idea to add the "IcyHot" smell and market it for guns. Glad they did.

I should also mention, that the M&P9 in the picture now has 1300 rounds through it without cleaning (just the initial cleaning before applying the FL) and it does not look any worse than at the 500 round mark. And it still feels smooth as heck.

It left my M&P 15 smooth, but I did start to have issues with FTE on an otherwise Stone Reliable rifle. These were the first ever issues with this, and it did happen with 2 types of ammo.
No issues with the 2 pistols I have used it on. But considering the cycle duty of the AR15 rifle, I am sticking to Slip on that one.
The verdict is still out, I am not convinced yet.

IF you wipe it down (**** comes right off) and keep the bolt wet as with CLP, it is excellent.

Absolutely no reliability issues with it for me, used as I would CLP or anything else. Best part is not filling the house with toxic fumes and the smell is fantastic instead of gagging you.

I have put a couple thousand rounds through with no failures but not consecutively without cleaning. Of course, I don't do that with any cleaner on any weapon I have.

I just ordered some a couple days ago waiting for it to come in and very excited to use it!

All the research I've done and everyone I've talked to loves it! Unfortunately its not available anywhere locally, not even the gun show (Which I went mostly to get lucky and find some)


I found this website that sells it a bit cheaper then most and no shipping charges.

The timing of this topic is perfect, I nearly posted the same question last night. Because I was in a GS a couple of days ago, and they really pushed the stuff, claiming that every one of the several PDs they deal with have switched to the stuff after trying it.
Kind of expensive in the shop, just a small pocket sized bottle of a few ounces was $8. Apparently they push it at the Sig Academy too. But, if it is really that good, then its probably worth a try.

I would like to chime in here. This product is probably not for everyone. The only reason I say that, is because I have been around a lot of forums in my years. LUBE THREADS ARE FRIGGIN' POINTLESS!

Everyone has that one lube that they love, and will never switch. Or (more likely), people don't really know what a good lube is "I use unsalted land-o-lakes on my AR bolt carrier and I shot 100 rounds last month with no problems" (hypothetical). Oh, boy, you shot 100 rounds.... There are people that LOOOOVE putting WD40 on their guns because dad did it. WD40 (sorry) is terrible.

Anyways, I am a big advocate of people trying lubes for themselves and just see how they like it. This goes DOUBLE for Froglube because it is "kinda different".

On another forum that I frequent, there are people using Froglube that KNOW a good lube when they use one. Either they are trainers, active duty, LEOs, etc... These are people that really USE their friggin' firearms. High round count Mo-fos.

So, buy a bottle and try the stuff. Use it as directed and test the heck out of it.

Tetra Gun lube? After I thought about it for a while, I THINK that's what you are talking about. I have heard of it, but never used it.

Animal, I agree with what you are saying that everyone will have their special stuff, and I agree that you should try it yourself..

I think that what the thread is more guided to is the fact that before I buy something I like to see reviews. Specially since Froglube is a little pricey if everyone in a forum that I share most opinions with dislike it, I would rather try something else.

But I would never go out and buy the Gallon tub of froglube based soley on opinions of forum members.

And lastly, I completely agree that WD40 should not be put on weapons!

I should have clarified...

The pointless threads I was referring to were the ones where everyone is ticked off at each other.

"Motor oil is better!"
"Synthetic motor oil is better!"
"Crisco is better!"


It gets old REAL quick.

 

[locapitano]

Oh ok, Agreed!

 

[szuppo]

It doesn't stack up. I tried it after a friend gave me his mostly unused tub. Compared it to eezox as far a corrosion prevention....FAIL
Compared to Slip2000 as a lubricant.....FAIL

I stopped after those two. Just another example of a product that someone claims is used by the "Seals" and is all the rage. I think it is ****.

It is very good. I am still running Frog lube on a couple pistols, but I have had zero issues with the AR's using a lighter oil. Slip and Tetra are both light, and do not attract sludge- even on a 600+ round count day.

 

[thndrchiken]

I just started using Frog Lube to evaluate, I can honestly tell you that after treating several pistols that the clean up is significantly easier and no odors. As far a rust preventative I haven't been using it long enough to to have an opinion yet.

 

[Desertpilot]

I went with frog lube on my new M&P40c after watching several "youtube" reviews. Among the best for rust prevention. My wife loves the fact that it is non-toxic and smells good. My results are superb.

Treated my new pistol twice (including the firing pin). Luckily we had a spare hair dryer to dedicate to the task. Went to the range today and fired 200 rounds. No problems at all.

Recent covert here. Been using it on a Colt 6940 which was super easy to clean after blasting through several hundred rounds of steel cases. Just Frog Lubed some 15-22 which should love it. Will be moving on to pistols and the rest of them here as the wife absolutely loves the smell, especially compared to Hoppes #9...

I have been following threads on Frog Lube elsewhere and while it is not a miracle corrosion preventative, nothing did as well as I would have expected in extreme torture testing.

Well, I lube all my frogs with it.
