What are you using and why in which guns?
I know what you mean. My dept range heads live and breathe frog lube. I noticed how dry the bolt on my patrol rifle was after using it and asked if I should add any. They assured me it was fine. A couple hundred rounds later I had no problems and the stuff actually looked wet as it heated up. I like it now and have no problem using it on my duty weapons. Just a FYI ,before it was applied they took my weapons completely apart and thoroughly removed all traces of previous militec1 that I had been using.I got some free frog lube a while back and decided to give it a shot.... It seems to clean things okay but I just don't trust it as a lube. They claim it soaks into the pores of the metal and lubricates over time; I'm not materials engineer but I don't think that concept is 100% scientifically sound.
The shit is dried up in a few days even when you lay it on like it's going out of style. I don't trust it for keeping my moving parts moving but it does smell nice!
