Nice Surprise with Frog Lube

[jzdank]

What is some of the better stuff regarding colder weather? I don't remember what I used but once I had handwarmers on each side of my shotgun receiver then a hat around those, just to keep the action running. It was something like -2 that day.

I still have a bunch of Froglube from when I gave it a try and was not sure with what I was going to do with it. I might give it a shot as a bore cleaner if it will help with copper fouling. I won't let it near the action any longer, but have no problem with it if it works well to clean a barrel. Then again, it took a while to remove all traces of it from my CZ and I don't want to go back to that cluster-**** again. Froglube on the rails turned a fine operating weapon into a mess. No matter how many times I polished the rails dry, they would feel sticky when I cycled the weapon after a few days.

It is cool the way it removes copper fouling. But there are other products that do that as well. I tried it more out of curiosity than anything else, but next time I clean the two rifles I used it on, I'm going back to to my old fashioned ways.

Im a sucker for cleaning and gun oils, Ive tried just about all of em.

Mobil1 gets it done!! for lube, Ballistol for cleaner.

Frog lube seems like a good product, I've only used the paste.

The most common lube I use is a mix of Mobil 1 oil, Mobil 1 ATF and a bit of STP to add a bit of viscosity. The ATF has a very good detergent package and makes a decent cleaner/lube by itself.

I've used frog lube paste and any guns I've used it to clean and lubricate haven't given me a single issue.

I have used it and no issues, cold, hot, wet, dry storage. It has done it all just fine

I'm on the slip 2000 bandwagon after a poor experience with Fire clean (very similar to FL). While I can't 100% blame the fire clean, I had an AR refuse to fire in cold weather. While I really liked the cleaning aspect of Fire clean, I think Slip or a more conventional lube method will probably provide better protection/ reliability.
