I like guns.

What you have is fine.

The frog lube application process is to degrease the bolt carrier group, then heat it up and apply, follow the directions and it works really well.

I use a paint stripping gun, you can use a regular stove set to 250 or so.

I do the same thing with miltec.

Adurso, I have never used Froglube, what I am reading about it has me very interested. Are you using it as a sole lubricant or applying, seasoning and then using oil of some sort on top of it?

How is it for long term storage, ie a gun that might sit a year or more in the safe and not be fired?

I have (redacted number) rifles and use frog lube on all BCGs, they do not sit for very long, but the way the stuff works, after seasoning, is that no other lube is used, the frog lube does not work well with other lubes.

My understanding, from those who have let seasoned weapons sit in storage, is that they like the frog lube because it does not dry up or get gummy.

The seasoned parts are easy to clean, just wipe, then apply a thin layer of frog lube.

How does that hold up?

To be fair, people have used everything from vagisil to Mobil 1 synthetic oil, to no name Teflon impregnated 3 in 1 oil with no issues.

they have a paste and a liquid . . . I bought both, they should arrive tomorrow.

the directions on the site look simple, I mean how hard is it to use a lube . . .

I've had no problems once I've gotten figured out exactly how much to use, at first I wasn't using enough so I was getting some resistance that I shouldn't have, but once I upped the amount it has worked flawlessly.

Miltec is the stuff that solved all the issues in Iraq for the boys over there when they were first getting started and dealing with the sand issues jamming and gumming things up. People were actually buying Miltec and sending it over as care packages to the front line troops and the troops were begging for the stuff. If you go on miltecs website you can see hundreds of letters written from front line soldiers thanking miltec.

It can basically be used as a dry lube once it bakes in and that was why it was solving the problems of dealing with the sand issues over there.

is there any basis of fact for not using petroleum based lubes and cleaners with non petroleum based lubes and cleaners?

I actually use Mobil 1 on many of my guns, if it's good enough to lubricate the internals of a car, where the tolerances are way tighter and that are constantly moving for hours on end, at high temps, it has got to be up to the task of keeping my firearms well protected and for significantly less than any gun oil out there.

Petroleum based stuff will eat up frog lube, they are not compatible. Just wipe the BCG down after shooting, run a patch with #9 through the barrel followed by bore snake, every now and then use a chamber brush with # 9 .

ARs really do not need to be cleaned much, do an Internet search for "filthy 14"

A school gun has a bazillion rounds through it and has never been cleaned.

Many people use Mobil 1 or a host of other things, after the civilian version of CLP removed Teflon from the formula I used a Teflon impregnated oil for many years.

The funniest I ever heard was vagisil

For the Pink rifles.
