Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire results of gun care product evaluation

Im not sure im really qualified to say (but I will) If I would break a gun down to its base parts for a complete cleaning and had easy access to every surface to apply the lube and then wipe it off, then Frog Lube and One shot would be great choices because the frog lube is viscous and needs to be wiped off after application.

If I was not breaking a gun down and was only opening the action and spraying down the action and internal parts that could be reached by the spray tube, I would go with the One Shot because there is essentially nothing to wipe off. It is a dry lube (once the propellant evaporates) I would not open the action of a gun, squirt in a bunch of frog lube, cycle the action a few times and call it good. I would however do that with one shot. The same is true with the bore.

I think both would work great for corrosion inhibition and lubrication but Frog Lube would take more time to apply and remove than One Shot. The Frog lube pours like cooking oil (rumor has it has its foundation in avocado oil) and needs to be wiped off where the One shot does not.

The minty smell of Frog Lube may keep this user group from using your product. Would it be possible to remove the minty scent and create a scent free version?

Upon completion of this evaluation I sent emails to several of the manufacturers of the products used. Thus far (4 days after sending the emails) I have received only one reply and it came from the founders of Frog Lube. Here is that reply.

�Ron,

We are stunned by the exhaustive and comprehensive approach of your testing. And we are quite flattered at the result. You have done something no one else has done.

We do our testing in primarily in operating firearms, but we have done some technical tests such as the corrosion and lubricity testing and have seen the same results.

May we use this link to share with our customers on line and in our facebook page? We have lots of fans (and a few competitors) who would appreciate seeing this.

Also, we very much appreciate your 'objectivity' and your public claims. This strengthens the validity of your results.

Thanks again for sharing this profound work with us.

I replied to them with the following:

�Feel free to share or distribute the info as you see fit. Prior to this evaluation I had never used Frog Lube (or many of the products I evaluated) so I was curious and ended up doing this evaluation. My search for lube and corrosion solution was not entirely firearms centric as I am more of an archer and bowhunter so I would like to make this request. Archery and Bowhunting are very large markets with direct overlap to firearms owners. The same holds true for the rapidly increasing crossbow and crossbowhunting market. All of these user groups require lubrication and corrosion solutions.

The main difference for the bowhunting and crossbow hunting market is the scent/smell of products we use due to how close bowhunters and perhaps crossbow hunters have to get to prey to make a successful shot. The minty smell of Frog Lube may keep this user group from using your product. Would it be possible to remove the minty scent and create a scent free version? Breaking into the archery/bowhunting and crossbow hunting market would create another demographic purchasing your product. Please consider it. You would certainly have me as a customer for more than just firearms usage.

Almost sounds like a Frog Lube advertisement from this post..
If I didn't know better...

I dont think so. I think you read the wrong evaluation. Save me the trouble and tell me how it works after you spray it into your guns inner workings. Make sure to do all your guns at once so its a fair evaluation. Include the inside of the bore as well. SMDH
