  1. I’m an armorer at a LGS here in the redoubt (NW MT), and I wanted to throw my two cents in regarding lubricants. Frog Lube has its perks, and it’s especially good at making tight/sluggish actions buttery smooth.

    But for long-term lubrication, high temperature range and outstanding coating/rust-protection properties, I have 2 brands (in 3 flavors) I tend to favor: Slip2000 EWL, Slip2000 EWL 30 weight and Lucas’ Extreme Duty Gun Oil.

    In addition to my own high-use firearms, I service MIL/LEO/Contractor firearms, many of which were duty weapons or range/training firearms (all high-use). Across the board I’ve not seen as good of heavy duty lubricants as these three. The Slip2000 is especially good at not cooking off or caking up (as it has a ridiculously good operating temperature range, -150 to 1250 degrees F), and the Lucas Extreme Duty Gun Oil has amazing surface-tension/viscosity properties (stays where you put it and does not spray off a surface with high-speed actions).

    Each has their preferred application, but so far I’ve not see anything better.

  2. The link to the lubricant test is very good! I’m going to pick up some Frog Lube and WD-40 Specialist. I’d also be happy with Hornady One Shot. Thanks for the info.

  3. I believe that it was a terrible mistake and perhaps a conspiracy that Scalia was not autopsied and that his death was not labeled suspicious and investigated. We have been one Justice away from a court that would negate the 2nd amendment and allow socialism to replace our republic government for decades. I think Scalia’s death was a palace coup.

    1. GWTW, Scalia’s death is highly suspicious, leaves tons of questions, and would make a perfect Oliver Stone conspiracy movie. But that isn’t going to happen. Mission accomplished, the public has forgotten, no need to ask questions now.

    2. Sure was strange, a Supreme Court judge on vacation found dead in a hotel room, no autopsy. Yet a thug, robs a store then tries to kill a cop gets three autopsies. Nothing to see here, move along.

  5. I’m an Nra chief range officer in two large ranges. And 29 yr Leo. I surprised about the comments on frog lube. I started using it on my guns and found it gummed up the actions. I talked to several other range personnel and shooters who also found the same thing. We removed it from our guns and never went back.

  6. I have been a user of Frog Lube for over 3 years. It has some good points and some bad points. I have used it on pistols and AR’s. I like the Frog Lube for my pistols. It makes cleaning a breeze and never have any issues with it. The AR is easier to clean the carbon off the bolt, but it just sweats out of every nook and cranny when the gun gets warmed up making a mess. I have used in semi-auto .22(10/22) and will never do that again. It seems to gum up real bad and cause problems in the .22. Over all Frog lube works OK. I have switched to Tetra products and Lucas Extreme Duty Gun Oil. I have noticed the “environmentally safe” products do not protect against rust as good as petroleum based. I tried the Otis CLP and had rust in a week, when I have never encountered that problem before.
