I have heard it mentioned several times and recommended by a lot of folks. Then when I saw a post on the S&W forum about how Frog Lube stopped his guns from firing I took pause. After reading something by someone here about how wonderful it was, I went back and found that post to put it on this forum.
http://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-smithing/364986-frog-lube-killed-my-guns.htmlIt's worth a read. When I do annual services on S&W, Colts, Sig's, Hi Standards, and even Rohrbaughs, I use acetone as the cleaner of choice. I then air dry all parts and blow them off with compressed air. For lubrication I use Rem-Oil and Singer Sewing Machine oil. You can buy a container of Singer Sewing machine oil at a pattern or sewing machine shop for $1.19 (last time purchased). It will last a few years. Not quite as thin as rem oil, it is designed to lubricate sewing machine internal gears etc. They run at hyper speeds and no one wants any wear on them. It does the job. It works on guns too. I also use a product that Chip McCormick used to sell called, "Trigger Slick." Its a Molybdenum sulfide black grease that he used to package in small tiny containers. It is remarkably similar to a Molybdenum grease I used to get at the speed shop for camshaft changes and could be found almost anywhere now as cam lube. It's an excellent lube for internals of rotational points like the studs for hammers and triggers in S&W revolvers. I've used those for years. I bought a tube of cam lube and a couple of bottles of sewing machine oil and they will last my son into the next lifetime, I'm sure. For extremely cold climates and rifles needing lubrication for the cold, I once obtained a 1 Qt can of Arctic Weapons lube at a surplus store. It look and smelled (high sulphur) like ATF....automatic transmission fluid, for those unfamiliar with working on cars. I would recommend a can of ATF for semi auto rifles in extremely cold climates. One doesn't have to make the weapons swim in fluid. Drops are OK. Glugs are usually too much. Good luck
