Hey everyone, I just came across a type of lube called FrogLube when I was trying to find a store that sold Mad Bull's piston lube. I thought it was intresting so I did a little more research on it. So it is manufactured for real firearms, but their site (in the FAQs section) claims that it can be effective for airsoft guns due to the fact that the formula actually conditions o-rings and other rubber materials creating better air seals. I would like to try some for insde my cylinder, maybe inner barrel, as a substitute for the conventional silicone oil/grease. I do see some problems though: It claims that it "enters deep into the pores of the metal and then forms a durable, dry, slick, and wax-like surface to reduce friction." It would also eliminate and petrolium/silicone oil/grease after contact.

I just wanted to get everyone's opinion on this, here is the site.

Just got some as it was recommended from an Airsoft magazine I was reading. Seems to work nicely in my aeg gearbox so far..VSR is in pieces..

Don't put it in your barrel! Or any other lube for that matter. Or anything. Keep your IB clean for accuracy..People clean with silicone. But I'd keep lube out

With the price and great smell I'm liking it. Plus it's safe for all your parts.

The only thing though is it's pretty solid/stiff in a cooler/cold state so that might become a problem. But like I said, no qualms yet. I just get the hair dryer out on hot and slow once it's out on everything and work all the pieces so that the lube can go in all the nooks and crannies and supposedly 'absorb into the metals'. So says their PR

Do not let any lube touch your bucking or inside of your inner barrel. Like Basher said you want to keep that area as dry and lube-free as possible. I clean my barrel out with rubbing alcohol and use warm soapy water for my bucking.

As long it doesn't corrode any rubbers or metals I see no reason why it wouldn't work. I somehow doubt it will "absorb into the metal" though. Try it on a scrap piece of metal and see how easy it is to clean off, see how well it lubricates, and basically make sure it won't gum anything up.
